Summary
Rivalz's life sucked. He lived through two wars, his best friend died for world peace, and he couldn't do anything but watch. So what happens when a fan of the show dies and becomes the golden retriever of the series? He faces the challenges head on and makes sure that everyone gets their happy ending. Or at least, he tries to.

Bookmarker's Notes
Was really enjoying, binge read it. Sad it is over, no more content :( has been a little over a year and a half since the story was and updated so not *terribly* long meaning it is still possible for more chapters but doesn't seem likely.
It ended right when Suzaku was introduced too which makes it even worse (the pain of there being no more content) since he is such an awesome character. Well, he can be. He can also be incredibly frustrating. At least the main characters of this show have depth.
I love that Rivalz isn't giving up on Nina even if it's for more altruistic reasons than personal. She is actually one of the characters I dislike the most in the show but in fanfic that can be turned around. Isn't always because it depends on her portrayal and relationships/dynamics with others but I'm liking her in this one. I am happy she has someone to talk science with, have her not feel as alone. Having Lelouch, someone renown for his intelligence even under his persona, praise her was great too, hopefully helped her gain some confidence.
My only big complaint is Milly but that's a character problem, not a story problem since it is accurate to her character. I just can't stand her character even if I am able to acknowledge she has her good points. She is so incredibly pushy and annoying. Doesn't seem like author is going to ship Rivalz with her though so that is good at least. Then again, it is hard to tell as I haven't really sensed any romantic feelings on Rivalz side towards anyone (aside from a few times regarding Milly which is more residual emotion than anything) or vice versa. I love friendship fics a lot too so it isn't a huge deal if there isn't any but I do like to know beforehand so that it is easier for me to pick up on.
My other more minor complaint (because it only happened once) is C.C. mind raping Rivalz. It was awful, especially when he didn't seem to have any anger towards her for it, only shocked and upset about the images he was forced to see themselves, not that she forced it upon him nor that she invanded his mind without consent.
Incomplete. 15chs. Fanficnet matches with ao3. Kudos.

Sadly doesn't appear to be continuing. Incomplete.
Besides for the handful of typos it was pretty promising. A time travel fic with Suzaku and Nunnaly not getting along and potentially fighting over Lelouch sounds so cool. I wonder what Lelouch would make of it without future knowledge. His gentle, loving, naive, forgiving sister hating someone and holding a grude? Especially that someone being Suzaku, their childhood friend? It would put him in a difficult situation. Or maybe they'd pretend to get along whenever he is around. Not sure. If they did Lelouch would be highly likely to pick up on it.
I also love an unhinged/feral Suzaku so so much. Not enough fics of that exist :(

Summary
"When Merlin put his arms down, Morgana was not standing before him, Merlin’s heart stuttered. Had Morgana’s magic just killed her?
He stepped forward, almost unconsciously, and then Merlin noticed the a small bundle at his feet. Before him was a little girl, she barley looked older than four years old. Morgana’s blue gown pooled around the little girl’s body. She stared up at him, with wide icy grey eyes. She blinked up at Merlin owlishly.
“Morgana?” Merlin asked carefully.
“How do you know my name?” this small Morgana asked."
or, Morgana accidentally de-ages herself and Merlin takes care of her, with the help of Arthur.

Summary
Estrela is found as Nimueh's slave and saved when Merlin defeats her Master. Indebted, she follows Merlin around, but as weird things begin going on, her innocence seems more and more a façade. What is she hiding? And why does she refer to Merlin as "My Lord"? The truth is never as it seems.

Bookmarker's Notes
Liked but didn't love. Couldn't connect to the romance. Didnt like how he lied to Estrela about Freya only being an infatuation and that she was the woman of his heart when he told Arthur otherwise; he said he couldn't choose between them if he had to.
I didn't like that Estrela left as soon as she found out about Freya. It was so out of character. She had come off as a deeply loyal and dutiful person above all but all of a sudden she let her romantic feelings rule her? She didn't just leave Merlin, she left everyone. She had made a vow to herself that she would protect Morgana from her fate yet was able to leave without a single thought? She didn't come off as the type of person to abandon her friends and duty because of romantic feelings (that I felt weren't really cultivated anyway). She acted like *everyone* gave her a reason to leave, that they all said or did something that showed they didn't want her around and that simply wasn't the case. It was so out of nowhere. Gwen was letting her stay at her house for free, how could she think she was unwanted? I know there needed to be a reason for her to leave because of the dragon eggs plot but other more logical things would have worked.
I was disappointed with what happened with Morgana. Mordred had told Estrela she changed Morgana's fate, implying it was a good one yet while it did change somewhat, it was still an awful and sad end. It felt what Estrela did didn't even matter or influence anything. It was odd that when Estrela disappeared we didn't get any scenes of Morgana being concerned or upset when she called Estrela "sister" to express what she meant to her. The story is incorrectly tagged as well. It has good Morgana and redemption listed but those aren't true.
Also it made absolutely no sense for Estrela to ask Mordred if he was aware of his fate to betray when she had been otherwise tight lipped about those things. When she had that conversation with Morgana she thought to herself that telling the full truth would only harm yet she speaks Mordred's fate directly to him as soon as she met him? It was never explained why she behaved differently.
Now as for the romance, I couldn't connect? There didn't really feel like there was much romance development happening. Merlin and her had some interaction sure but it was barely anything and when Merlin admitted to reciprocating her romantic feelings at the dragon cave it felt like it came out of nowhere, there hadn't really been any lead up to it on his head.
I wasn't happy with how the way Merlin treated Estrela during the troll incident was handled afterwords. He tried to bring it up and she shrugged it off, saying she understood he was affected by the enchantment but erm, that doesn't explain or justice all of it. He should have insisted on talking more, at least telling her he did consider her a close part of the group. Yet he never did.
I was confused on the titles thing. In the beginning she was calling Merlin/Emrys her king and insisted one day he would be one then without explanation suddenly she is calling him my lord and calling Arthur her king.
