Summary
Arthur's eyes widen minutely, and Merlin can see fists tighten by his side, but he doesn't move out of Merlin's grasp, doesn't show any other reaction. And Merlin has never touched Arthur like this, never so unkindly but he's reached a boiling point, the thought of carrying on with this thankless routine is agonising.
His voice is almost a whisper when he speaks next. He leans in closer, unable to look at Arthur anymore, instead he says his next words a breath away from his ear. "You could thank me on your knees and it wouldn't come anywhere close to adequate appreciation."
.
In which Merlin is overwhelmed and underappreciated. Stretched thin between keeping the kingdom safe, playing the role of Arthur’s servant as well as the role of Gaius’ apprentice, and dealing with his magic, he snaps and quits. Arthur, of course, begins to realise the emptiness of life without Merlin. What follows is a mix of frustration, hurt, pining, and, finally, a reunion. Featuring the ever tired and concerned knights of the round table (except Gwaine, he doesn’t really give a shit.)

The witch held out his hand to San, “I’m the head of my coven, and our home is down this path. Would you like to come with me?”

Summary
a desperate human is far more dangerous than any dragon
When given a choice between all he's ever known, and the wilderness beyond it, Hiccup chooses the latter. Now, five years later, he has abandoned humanity, mimicking the behaviours of his brother - Toothless - and the rest of their flock. Content to leave his entire childhood in the past, Hiccup is dragged back into fifteen years of unpleasant memories when his peers from Berk crash into his new home. He soon finds his allegiances split between the new life he has built for himself, and the one he abandoned.
Berk is starving, plagued by constant dragon raids and empty seas. The heir to the chiefdom, Astrid, leads the expedition to find the famed dragon master, and beg for his help in stopping the raids. Little does she know, behind the mask, is somebody she's been mourning for years.

Never Knew What We Had (Until He Was Gone) by Merlinfirstlastalways

Summary
Arthur was at his wits' end when he caught Merlin walking out of the tavern, which led him to make a horrible mistake, one that proved to be the last straw for Merlin, who decided there was nothing else to do but publically quit his job and leave Camelot in a huff.
Arthur never realized how much Merlin did for him-- or for Guinevere-- until he was gone; neither he nor his wife realized just how integral Merlin was to Camelot... and to their marriage.
*Story is complete apart from final editing and will be posted in full over the next few days. Currently clocking in at about 20k. Explicit in the fifth chapter.*

Summary
It was over. Arthur was here. The Lamia was slain. Gwen was alright. The knights would be back to normal. It was over.
Able to relax for the first time in days, he let his knees buckle and his back slide down the wall. He hit the ground, and his vision turned to mist.
Merlin didn't make it out of his encounter with the Lamia unscathed, or so Arthur thinks when he slays the beast and finds Merlin slumped against the wall and bleeding. When he learns the true source of Merlin's injuries he is furious. He does his best to push that anger away though, because being there for Merlin matters far more right now.
or
The Lamia episode but Merthur, and the knights actually injured Merlin.

Summary
Arthur, Merlin, and the knights stop in at a local tavern for a hot meal and drinks. They don’t expect knights from the nearby kingdom to drop by as well or for one knight in particular to take a rather special interest in Merlin. And, honestly, they aren’t having it.
Basically Merlin starts a tavern brawl but really it’s not his fault.
He can’t help he’s pretty.

Summary
On October 31st, twins Charles and Harry Potter were targeted by Lord Voldemort. Charles was wrongly proclaimed as the defeater of the Dark Lord, the Boy-Who-Lived. Cast aside and proclaimed as tainted by dark magic, Harry was sent to suffer at the hands of the Dursleys.
11 years later, a spiteful child is ready to take over the Wizarding World or burn it down trying.
“When he entered the nursery to kill one of them, he did something else. Knowing he might not survive casting the powerful dark magic needed, he had to mark a successor. ” He nodded to Harry, “And when he cast the killing curse onto Charles, it disintegrated him.”Series

Summary
For years, the villains have been trying to uncover the Association’s crimes and get to the bottom of the rumors surrounding the heroes and their disappearances. All they need is something—or someone—to hold over the Association’s head.
Meanwhile, Superhero Dream just wants to make it through his twenties.
But the villains won’t leave him alone, the Association has been keeping secrets from him, and a member of the Syndicate seems more familiar than he should.
And there’s something off about Pandora’s Vault, the Association’s prison for Superpowered criminals.
Or, Dream gets kidnapped, finds a family, and finally learns what freedom means. Exactly in this order (and with a few extra steps).

Summary
Being the only prince of Manburg, Dream walked down the hallway in the castle. He was wearing a black turtleneck with a green cloak and was strapped with multiple weapons. Usually he wouldn’t wear as many weapons as such but their country was at war upon another country. Of course, Dream hated war but his father, on the other hand, wanted more land. His father, JSchaltt, believes that more land equals more power.
The people they’re at war with is a small country called Pogtopia. Pogtopia was a peaceful country and choses to aid their allies rather than fight so when Manburg announced war upon them, the whole country was in chaos but the King, Philza Minecraft, calmed them down and went into action. He defended the borders and made sure that Manburg’s armies couldn’t go any further into their land.

Dream is a hybrid with healing powers and is the only prince to King Schaltt. King Schaltt had outlawed hybrids and forces Dream to wear a mask to hide his glowing green eyes. King Schaltt declared war upon the peaceful country, Pogtopia, and sends Dream to kill the King and his sons. So what happens when Dream starts to rethink that he is on the wrong side of the war?- Language:

Dream deserved to be in prison. Deserved what was happening to him. There was no doubt about that in Sam’s mind. Absolutely none.
That didn’t explain why he started getting concerned when Dream didn’t seem to be listing to him.

Summary
My Fics are about the Characters, not the CC’s!
Dream’s not a wild animal, he’s a person. A person. And he’ll be one forever, whether anyone in this world likes it or not. He’ll admit it, making the most hideous sounds he can think of is very common and it’s second nature. But Dream can also talk, it might not be his go-to reaction but he can do it.
Whatever they plan to do, it couldn’t be as bad as what Phil did.
Hopefully.
or
Dream is a human in a world where humans have been wiped out for their crimes against other races and now roam the streets like rats, trying to survive. He gets captured by Karl and Quackity but his worry only grows as Sapnap tries to make it clear that he won't be hurt.
Everything only gets worse when his humanity is suddenly stolen from him and he is forced to adapt to a role he never asked for. He’s more lost than ever before.
The only thing he knows for sure? He never wants to be alone again.(Lol shortened the title cause why not)

Summary
They found him.
He was out. Safe. Free.
He wasn’t sure how he felt about it. The door now wide open, never to be closed again. He would never have to feel that stifling stale air. Those claustrophobic walls. That feeling of utter terror whenever he closed his eyes because he was never sure what would await him when he woke up.
He was free at last. Free from his room.
So why did he still so badly want to go back there?

Summary
Dream has been fleeing his three persistent hunters for two months now. Life hasn’t been the same ever since the King demanded his head, and the more time goes on, the more he sees his future crumble. Maybe he never should have crossed him in the first place.
George and his two best friends have been sent on a neck breaking mission to catch the most dangerous criminal in the kingdom of Rua. Guided by compasses and orders from the King, they’re determined to catch up very, very soon.
((A strong inspiration for this work was the fanfiction Green & Gold!! The world works a little differently, but I needed more of that kind of fanfic, so I wrote more. Enjoy!))
POVs: George, Dream, Sapnap
