Summary
Arthur gave Merlin his cloak thinking only of the warmth it would offer in a snowstorm. He never thought his manservant may be mistaken for him and snatched by bandits. Nor did he expect his dashing rescue of Merlin to turn his world so utterly on his head.
Because the bandits hadn't kidnapped a prince. They'd snatched a sorcerer, and now captivity is the least of anyone's problems.
A golden age awaits, but can they claim it together, or are they doomed to fail?

Bookmarker's Notes
Merlin's magic is revealed to Arthur after he is captured by bandits and subjected to sorcerer's bane, a metal that takes away magic. Arthur is warily accepting of Merlin's magic, and it is also shared with the knights. This is a major Merlin whump on several accounts, and Arthur grows increasingly protective of Merlin. During Merlin's recovery from the bane, he undergoes a magical trial where he finds more pieces od his magic until it is fully realized and he taps into his limitless power. Uther has been under magical attack by Morgause and eventually dies, making Arthur King, and he is determined to make magic legal in Camelot again. Morgana is not villainous in this, she is an ally whom Merlin helps train as a sorceress. Merlin and Arthur have a special magical bond. When Morgause attacks Camelot, Merlin is "killed" but comes back because he's immortal. Only, he has to choose whether to come back with little/no control over his magic, or to stay dead and wait in Avalon. He comes back and releases raw magical power into the world, but Arthur is Merlin's anchor and is able to bring him back to himself. Features lots of soft, tender, intimate moments between the boys (also has sexytimes but the non-sexy intimate moments were actually my fave), the knights being amazing friends, Arthur being protective, Merlin being both a feral eldritch terror being but at the same time a soft shy boi, and Merlin becoming king consort.

Summary
Set after the Merlin Series 5 Finale "Diamond of the Day".
Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
Cover art by Lao-Pendragon------
For many long years Merlin waited.
For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.
Until one day, suddenly, it did.
When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.
Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

Not that I have read much Merthur at all, but this one's probably the best. Merlin's been waiting 1500 years for Arthur's return and he finally comes back and the prophecy is fulfilled. Filled with Arthur being the bestest boyfriend and Merlin trying to overcome his trauma.

Summary
“You’re staring.”
“Oh dear,” says Aziraphale, completely unapologetic. “How rude of me.”
Crowley begins to smile something slow, bright, and lovely, but he schools it with a bite to his lower lip. Aziraphale thinks of the way he looked two millennia ago, pressed up against the wall with Aziraphale's blessing healing his wounds, the only demon to experience divine ecstasy and live to tell the tale. How Aziraphale's hands itch to do it again, and again, and again. Crowley opens his mouth as if to say something, but then stops and spins around instead to go back to stirring the curry.
“Shut up,” he says to the stove, flustered.

Ummm the cutest sweetest Aziracrow fic. Azi changes the whole bookshop and flat to be for THEM. There's innuendo and banter and divine orgasms and tooth rotting fluff and Crowley's couch and misunderstandings and a cottage and all the delights.

Unfinished. Aziraphale is Supreme Archangel in Training for 4 years. In that time, Crowley becomes Grand Duke of Hell. Aziraphale gets sentenced to Erasure from the Book of Life after trying to stop the Second Coming (by accidentally starting it, because apparently he was created to ruin things). Aziraphale and Crowley are walking on eggshells around each other yet can't stay away. Shit hits the fan when Crowley finds our about Azi's limited time and they have seggs in the Bentley. They love each other so much. Muriel is a drug user. We thought Saraqael was cool but she sucks. All the women are infertile. I need MORE.

Summary
What if, after shooting Magnussen, Sherlock had resisted the offer of being sent to Eastern Europe? What if he instead chose to go to prison for his crime? Will Sherlock and John get an opportunity to say the things that they so desperately want to say before time runs out?
As always I want to thank my amazing beta and great friend, Sandrina for helping to bring this to life. Without her support my little fics would never be what they are.

Sherlock is a vampire. John is an Immune. When John is sentenced to death for being Immune, the only solution is for he and Sherlock to Bind, but to do that, Sherlock must adapt to John's poisonous blood, a process that may kill them both. A hot, angsty fic where these boys would do anything for each other.

Sherlock loves John so much it hurts. Little fic of how Sherlock and John fall together after Sherlock gets back from hiatus. Sherlock starts out being in denial of love but ends up saying "I love you" first. John has cerulean eyes and Sherlock thinks that John eating chips is cute.

John gets sick of everything (after his wife shoots Sherlock AGAIN and his daughter isn't really his daughter and gets taken away) and takes a mental break by traveling the world. While he's gone, Sherlock has sex in a crack house and ends up with a son, who he loves to death. It is literally so endearing. He also pines for John, who eventually comes back, and loves Sherlock and Albion so much. They raise Albion together and then eventually Bonnie. Uncle Mycroft is amazing. Every other character is amazing. My heart burst so many times reading this.

“Romantic entanglement, while fulfilling for other people—”
“—would complete you as a human being.”After the Culverton Smith case Sherlock is clean, working, and looking for a romantic partner—since John has told him that’s what he needs. Shame John didn’t mention he was interested in that role himself, before Sherlock went off to Rome with a gorgeous Italian copper to try to fall in love and become a complete human being.
