Summary
Merlin ducks forward, grabbing Arthur’s hands. His are cool and soft, and Arthur is surprised by the feel of Merlin’s palm over his own rough knuckles. “Arthur,” he says pointedly. “I know my duty, and I don’t need you to remind me. Are you always like this?”
“Like what?”
“Annoying,” Merlin says, and leans back, appraising him more thoughtfully than his tone suggests. “So concerned with your honour.”
Or: Arthur must marry Lord Emrys for a year to create an alliance between their people. Except it isn't Emrys who comes to marry him, but the young druid Merlin, who soon turns all of Camelot upside down—and Arthur with it.

Summary
"Do you think you can spend an evening without insulting Merlin?”
Arthur looks as if the very idea is anathema to him. “It’s not insults,” he says. “It’s—”
“Your very own idea of courtship,” Gwen says. “But I’ve another idea. And it involves being very, very nice to Merlin. Didn’t you see the way he was flustering just now? He’s used to your barbed comments, Arthur, he has practically grown up with them. Didn’t you like the sight of him, all flushed from praise?”
“I’m not—” Arthur says, and abruptly cuts himself off as his own face goes pink. “I suppose so.”
“Here’s what we do,” Gwen starts.
Or: Gwen and Arthur set out to court a reluctant Merlin. Fortunately, Gwen knows exactly how Merlin wants to be loved.

Summary
When Arthur blows the horn of Cathbdhah for the second time, the horn doesn’t just send Uther to the other world. It sends Arthur away as well – to a world where Ygraine never died, the Great Purge never happened, and magic lives freely at court. As do those who practice it.

Summary
In the morning, Merlin knows, Arthur will don his crown again. But for now their world is only Arthur’s drowsy kisses, and Merlin tracing circles on Arthur’s bare chest, and the night outside is deep and dark and still. There are no conspiracies, no dragons, no prophecies relentlessly unraveling.
Merlin wishes, selfishly, that dawn might never come.
(And the dawn obeys.)

Summary
Kabru finds his eyes glued to the video. Most people who defend monsters online, he’s found, know shit about them. They live in sheltered cities, far away from any actual dungeons, and the closest they’ve come to seeing a real monster is in an Elven-made VR game. They’ve never died from a basilisk’s fangs in their throat.
But this guy seems different.
Kabru taps over to the comment section of the video. Normally he avoids them, but this might actually be relevant to his research.
wait lol isn’t this the dragon dildo guy
Kabru blinks at the top rated comment.
(Or: Laios reviews monster sex toys online and Kabru is a tired grad student.)

Summary
Astarion still liked her even after he found out about the Urge. He still likes her, now, even as he sits just far enough away from her that their shoulders aren’t quite touching.
The thing is that Lenore loves him. Lenore loves Astarion more than she imagines she has ever loved anything, ever, past life of missing memories be damned. And it doesn’t matter if she wants to curl up against him. She doesn’t want to make him uncomfortable—it’s not something he wants, he’d said—and her own hands are too stained with blood for her to even try.
She’ll take it in stride. She’ll only touch him when he initiates it, and even then she will hold her breath until it’s gone.
She loves him, is the thing. She’s not going to do that to him.
+++
or: The Dark Urge doesn't know how to ask for comfort. Astarion figures it out along the way.

Seven Habits of Highly Effective Dragonslayers by coveredinfeels
Fandoms: Dragon Age: Inquisition
03 Sep 2017
Tags
Summary
Harmon knows how this goes. He's from Nevarra, and he's read books. Plural. If you want to fight a dragon you need to find a Kindly Mentor who can teach you all their Secret Strategies.
So all he needs to do is find this old Tal-Vashoth dragonslayer his cousin keeps going on about, get him to teach Harmon about dragons, convince everyone else to go along with his dragon-hunting plans, fight a dragon, and win.
Easy, right?
Starring one cheerful qunari grandpa, one grumpy necromancer grandpa, and a bunch of Nevarran mercenaries who are about to have a very educational experience.

Summary
[Not that Zuko needed to be told, of course. It was always obvious that Sokka and Suki were together, or going to be together, or in the process, or…whatever. Zuko just didn’t realize they were finally together together. And it feels like he should have. They’re his friends, his two best friends out of the whole seven he tentatively thinks he can claim for himself these days, and it just feels…
It just feels like he should have known.]
OR,
Sokka and Suki are thrilled that they and Zuko are all officially together, while Zuko very abruptly realizes that Sokka and Suki are finally dating.
Which is okay. Obviously. He's happy for them. Really.

Didn't Know What I Was Missing (But I Guess I Found It) by Erisenyo
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender
28 Dec 2023
Tags
Summary
[“Oh,” Zuko says as he sticks his head into Sokka’s bedroom—vaguely wondering, suddenly, at the blanket permission he’s had for years to come in without knocking—and sees Suki unmistakably post-bath, her robe loosely belted around her waist and open across her chest and Sokka half-naked and clearly in the process of working his way across her tits.
“Uh,” Zuko continues eloquently, trying to not immediately lose his sense of purpose to the sight, or to wondering about whether the two of them together like this with just each other means they’ve already— “Sorry,” he manages to get out, mouth dry, inner fire buzzing in his ears, “I can—I can come back when you’re—”
“Zu!” Sokka pops off Suki’s nipple with an audible sound, grinning. “I thought you had a meeting!”]
OR,
In some ways, everything stays the same once Zuko starts fucking Sokka and Suki.
In other ways, things become very, very different.
