    Summary

    Everyone he trusted with his secret – Will, Freya, Balinor, Lancelot, and now Gaius – was gone. Arthur would never bring magic back to the land, and he would never let Merlin stand at his side the way Merlin had hoped he would. It was a cold awakening, years of baseless faith dashed against the fraying tapestry that destiny had made Merlin sew into his own skin, but an awakening nonetheless.

    Merlin is shaken out of his obsession with destiny and his blind faith in Arthur. Arthur just wishes he knew how to get his closest friend back.

    (For Merthur Angst Week 2021 Day 7: “No. You don’t get to talk.”)

    Summary

    Merlin turned and rattled about with the crockery, reaching up high on his tiptoes while Arthur thought lurid and filthy thoughts about him, such as Merlin sitting next to him on Arthur’s favourite windowsill and telling Arthur he was his friend.

     

    In which the sorceress never takes Lady Helen’s form, and Merlin doesn’t save Arthur at the banquet.

    Summary

    When Regulus Black woke up in 1991 after he was supposed to die twelve years prior, he realized two things. One, the locket he had worked so hard to steal had never been destroyed so the Dark Lord was still alive. And two, Harry Potter, James Potter's son, was in danger.

    Regulus goes to school with the Golden Trio.
