Summary
Our favourite rag-tag party of knights, a king, and a manservant, stumble across a spirit of the Old Religion. It being one of those days, the spirit demands--if a series of whistles and chirps could be seen as demanding--that one of them play a song for it. The group gets a rather pleasant surprise when a certain warlock-in-hiding reveals a different sort of not-so-secret secret.

Summary
“Arthur, darling, are you free after this? I’ve something to show you,” Eames said, casually, a subtle concern in his normally controlled expression.
That seemed dangerous. Whatever had Eames visibly worried was something worth discussing, no matter how late this stupid job had gone.
“Sure.” Arthur agreed. He picked up the rest of his scattered belongings and followed Eames out of the dreary building.

Summary
Literally no plot whatsoever. Just Merlin fetching Arthur's breakfast, then Arthur eating said breakfast, and both of them bantering and griping at each other - but all with a cute little cat there too!!
Arthur opened the door and the little cat sauntered in. It looked up at Arthur, meowed at Merlin then twitched its nose, jumping lightly up onto the bed. Before either of them could stop it, it had its head in Arthur’s plate, gnawing at the leftover chicken. Arthur crossed his arms and glared at Merlin.
“What is that?”
“It’s a cat, your Highness.”
“I know that, idiot.” Arthur lightly smacked Merlin around the back of the head. “What’s it doing in my room?”
“You let it in.” Arthur’s glare was enough to tell Merlin that his literal answer was not the one Arthur had been hoping for. “Uh…” He edged further away from Arthur. “It followed me up here…”
Arthur sighed. “That’s where the other half of my breakfast went?”Series

Summary
The king jumps up like a frightened rabbit, hand outstretched. “Do NOT read that, Merlin.”
“Why’s that?” Merlin asks calmly as he unfolds the rumpled sheet. Arthur squeaks and pushes his chair back so he can start to move around the desk. Merlin smoothes the paper, walking backward as he glances down at it. “Your dark, wavy hairs ease all my cares...” He stops walking as he bursts into laughter and looks up to find a very red Arthur only feet away.

Summary
Arthur is not much of a morning person, especially not before he had his first coffee, but noticing how one of the regular customer enjoys his breakfast certainly manages to improve his day.

Summary
Merlin has turned himself into a cat.
Arthur would really love it if Merlin would just stop being an adorable little shit and let him be mad in peace.
Because of course.... his idiot has now been stuck as a cat for days and Arthur's getting frustrated. He would rather....umm.... cuddle in bed with his warlock rather than with a furball, thank you very much.Series

Summary
After throwing himself off a cliff and accepting his death once and for all Dutch wakes up in a strangely familiar place. It’s his old camp back in 1899 with everyone being still alive - and worried.
With no idea of what happened he blunders right into this situation, tripping over complicated family dynamics and unsolved issues he can barley remember, making him wonder if this is a second chance or an especially cruel version of hell.
It’s been 12 years after all. He’s a different person now, with a shifted moral code and a strange concept of redemption, problem solving and social interaction.
Will he even care enough to save the gang or will he mess it up even more? -

Summary
"The sound of a throat being cleared reminded him of where they were, and Alfred looked up with a sheepish smile. There was a man behind the front desk, all messy hair and eyebrows, but it was pretty easy to see his glare even behind his glasses."
Alfred, a college student. Arthur, a librarian.
They don't get along. -

Summary
Arthur knew Merlin wasn't sleeping well, but he wasn't sure how to help him. After a long day, all Arthur wanted was to crawl into his bed and never wake up. That desire's fulfilment delays a bit, however, when he finds his manservant slumbering on the job. He can't wake him up, but too tired to take him all the way to his quarters; bed-sharing ensues.
