    Summary

    Dean thinks Sam and Rowena are really sweet together. They strangely fit together nicely, despite Sam's best efforts to avoid demonic or darkly magickal inclinations, and despite Rowena's most concerted efforts to not be so vulnerable as to be in love.

    They complement each other nicely, and they obviously care so much about each other, he wonders why either of them are scared to say anything about it when the reciprocal romantic and sexual tension and chemistry between them is practically taking up space in the bunker.

    He has learned nothing about himself through these observations.

    Summary

    Duke Ben-something-or-other clears his throat and looks Merlin up and down. “Apologies, my lord, I have not introduced myself. I am Duke Benedict Earl James the Fourteenth." He stands and bows.

    “And I’m Merlin.” Merlin scratches his armpit.

    Arthur rolls his eyes. “He means your title, idiot.”

    “Oh. I’m the Court Jester.”

    Summary

    Merlin frowned, and tried to inhale, but choked on a cough. He opened his mouth, trying to speak but his mouth was sticky and full and he felt warm, warm, warm, warm spilling down down down down…

    The world tilted on its axis a little bit, and Merlin leant into Arthur’s body. Why was the world tilting?

    Arthur’s face shifted from annoyance to horror.

    Summary

    Merlin had failed. Despite all his efforts, Arthur had ended up dead in his arms on the shores of Avalon, so close to salvation. Surely, this could not be how their shared destiny was supposed to end? No, it was all Merlin’s fault—he had made all the wrong choices, misinterpreting prophecy after prophecy. If only he could go back and try again, now that he knew better, maybe he could right his wrongs. Maybe he— Oh. Maybe he could go back…

    Ignoring Kilgharrah’s protests about the impossibility of what he aimed to do, Merlin let all his power loose, becoming one with the fabric of the world and the magic he was born of. After following the bond he shared with Arthur through the winding paths of time, he finally emerged a decade into the past, having successfully seized a second chance to get this whole destiny thing right. Unfortunately, he would have to win Arthur’s trust all over again, seeing as Merlin was alone in remembering anything of the future he was hoping to change. Or…was he?

    Summary

    Castiel picks up a new hobby.
    Dean notices first.
    Sam notices second.
    Somehow, this turns into a thing.

    There’s yarn, sibling rivalry, and a toddler in custom knitwear.
    Also, possibly the softest chaos the Bunker has ever seen.
