Summary
Prince Finn Lunare loved once. Recklessly, briefly, and in a summer that did not know how to last; a summer that haunts his dreams and rids him of his sleep.
So he writes down the things he will never say, remembers a boy he loved, and takes to the sky to remind himself he is still alive.
It is beautiful.
It is a mistake.
Finn Lunare is captured.

Summary
“People would talk,” he tries, repurposing an old line, a shortcut to a recurring theme in their lives.
“They do little else.” John dutifully completes the circuit with a sigh. “Sherlock,” he continues haltingly, eyes falling back to his hands as he considers his words. “Would they be wrong, though, really?”

Summary
“Were you in love with Darth Sidious?”
Anakin recoils, disgusted. “Are you insane? I am married!”
The ghost stares back, unimpressed. “Yet you followed him to Exegol. To forge a Sith Dyad, no less.”
“He promised control over time - over death itself! Weren’t you the one who created the ritual?”
“I was not.” Darth Plagueis says coldly. “Be thankful the ritual killed Sidious - and not your precious Kenobi.”
Anakin pales.
Palpatine takes his new apprentice to the Sith homeworld before Order 66, seeking to bind them in a Force Dyad. Surprisingly, the ritual backfires, killing Palpatine and stripping Anakin of his Force abilities. Stranded on Exegol, he lies to the Jedi Council about his Fall, beginning an unlikely exchange of letters with Obi-Wan.

Summary
After the disastrous end of his betrothal to Gwen and the regret of his offer to Princess Mithian, Arthur swears off finding a wife until he's ready to wed. When Merlin offers himself to Arthur as bedmate, Arthur suggests they hand-fast in secret for a single year of mutual pleasure without obligation. As their year together unfolds, and secrets and betrayals unravel around them, Arthur and Merlin learn there is no such thing as uncomplicated pleasure. Everything they thought they knew can change in the span of a single year.

Summary
A hand grasped his arm, sending a brief thrill down Merlin's nerves as he was forced around to face the person behind him. Armour gleamed in the firelight: supple chainmail glinted, and the solid iron of a pauldron curved lovingly over one broad shoulder. The length of a sword blade separated them. The point hovered, steady and sure, over Merlin's heart, braced to run him through, but he did not care about any of that. He was too busy drinking in the sight of the man before him.
He could never forget him, no matter how many centuries had passed.
'Arthur?'
When Merlin ultimately fails in his destiny, the fading remnants of magic that linger in the modern world fling him not just back in time, but sideways as well. He ends up in a Camelot where all his friends are alive, well and aware of his magic.
He ends up in a Camelot where his alternate self died almost a year ago.
Can he, Arthur and their friends still forge the golden age he was once promised, or will grief and suspicion tear them apart?
