    Summary

    In a flash of motion the blade of Excalibur rests against the hollow of Merlin's neck.

    ‘You are not fighting back,’ Arthur breathes with the shock and disgust a man can only feel when expecting pain and not receiving it, ‘is it out of trust, or do you truly not care if you die?’

    ‘If it is by your hand, I would make no attempt to stop it’ Merlin replies, breathing just as heavy, a small shake of his head and scrunch of his brow - as if the answer were obvious. If this was what the king wanted - if this was how a destiny ends - for once in his life Merlin would comply with the order freely.

    -------
    During a bandit attack Arthur discovers Merlin's magic.
    How will this change them? Or have they already changed too much for it to matter?

    Can you truly hide who you are, or are you doomed to be known?

    Summary

    Arthur survived the battle of Camlann. Long live the King. But since his return, a door in his mind and heart has been opened. The bond between him and Merlin is shifting, and so is the balance of the universe. A new prophecy begins to take shape, one that reveals the missing note of a broken song.

    More chapters and tags to come. (I'm currently on vacation in Costa Rica until May 10th, so updates might be a bit slower until then!)

    Summary

    Once every hundred years, Merlin takes a ‘vacation’: he gets rid of his memories and spend a single year as a regular human.

    Obviously, he took all the precautions necessary. Nothing should go wrong. Even if it did somehow go wrong there was not a single issue without a ready solution.

     

    Right ?

    Summary

    When Harry unknowingly becomes the Master of Death, a bargain is struck.
    Sirius Black — remade as the Grim — may ascend beside him… if he surrenders everything he once was.
    Their souls bind together, woven by ancient magic older than the Hallows themselves.

    Two boys forged by death.
    Two souls tethered by fate and fury.
    A House rising from its grave.
    A war rewritten from its roots.

    In this fix-it time-travel redo, Sirius returns at Harry’s age, the House of Black awakens to protect their Chosen, and Death watches — fondly exasperated — as her Champion and her Grim reshape the wizarding world from the ground up.

    Summary

    Harry is preparing for battle with the help of his friends and family, but not all battles are won with the stroke of the sword or movement of a wand. Some battles are fought with the mind. Others are fought with the flick of a quill. Harry can sense the storm coming and knows that he may not survive it. But with the help of his lovers, his family, his friends and allies, he will leave his mark either way, because in the end it has always been a Potter.

    And would it kill someone to make a set of bonding robes that go with two twins that have pale skin, freckles, and red hair who are bonding with a man with pale skin, dark hair, and green eyes that doesn't clash horribly?
