Summary
Being two sides of the same coin is not enough. No, there also needs to be magic involved that binds them together so that Merlin can neither stray far from Arthur nor live his life in peace for a single bloody day.

Second Time's the Charm by thiswildheart
Fandoms: The Riyria Revelations - Michael J. Sullivan
26 Jun 2025

Summary
If he didn't look, he didn't have to know. If he didn't look, it wasn't real.
What a stupid thought. What a childish thought - one that belonged to Hadrian, not Royce, who could never have afforded the luxury of such beliefs. A bad thing didn't cease to be real because you refused to acknowledge it; you were only making it easier for it to destroy you. It was Hadrian who refused to face up to the cruel realities of the world, not Royce.
If Hadrian was dead, Royce's ignorance wouldn't change that. Nothing would.
And yet there he was, hanging from a rock ledge, and he didn't want to look.
Hadrian falls. Royce... copes.
(Missing scene from Drumindor.)

Summary
A collection of works from the "Wei Ying is Wen RuoHan's grandson" universe.
WangXian.
Not Jiang Clan friendly.
Jin Guangshan is his own warning.
Wen RuoHan is not a good person but he is a great grandfather. And he is definitely not the worst among the clan leaders. Basically redemption for all the Wens. Except Wen Chao. Wen Chao is rotten to the core.- Words:

Summary
"Your mother made me make my own pie with her yesterday." He said, sitting up to glare. "What is it with your family? Why do none of you respect nobles?" He said and Merlin dropped the plate of food he was carrying. "...I hate you." He sighed, staring at his food bouncing on the ground with a loud clatter. "I should hire your mother as my servant. She wouldn't drop my food." He added with a fierce nod.
"My mother is here?" He asked and Arthur paused.
"You haven’t seen her?"
"No. Fuck. It’s finally happening." He whispered. Arthur stared, absolutely baffled. "She’s come to kill me." He explained and dashed towards the door to peer outside.
"What?" Arthur snorted. "Merlin. Your mother can be very firm, but she’s not the killing type. She is too softhearted for such things." He said and Merlin slammed the door shut, leaning against the wood as if barricading it.
"If you're not careful you'll be next."
Or
Hunith occasionally visits Camelot. Arthur thinks she’s wonderful...Sometimes.

Summary
"Really?" Arthur asked, brushing the dirt off of him as he glowered at the man. "Again? I had it under control - and we aren't allies!" He added heatedly. Balinor shrugged, looking nonplussed by Arthur's anger as he stroked the dragon's wing.
"I know." Balinor said simply. "But I promised my son I wouldn't let you die."
"Your...You have a son?" Arthur demanded. Again, Balinor shrugged. "Why does your son...? Nevermind. Don't save me again!" He snapped, pointing a finger at the man. He turned to stalk back to the horse only for a column of fire to blow past him. The prince jumped. He spun around to tell the man off again but immediately noticed one of the remaining bandits who had been slowly creeping towards him burnt to a crisp. He looked back at Balinor.
"Sorry."
Or
Balinor lives. Arthur will do pretty much anything to get the man to stop saving his life.
