    Summary

    A hand grasped his arm, sending a brief thrill down Merlin's nerves as he was forced around to face the person behind him. Armour gleamed in the firelight: supple chainmail glinted, and the solid iron of a pauldron curved lovingly over one broad shoulder. The length of a sword blade separated them. The point hovered, steady and sure, over Merlin's heart, braced to run him through, but he did not care about any of that. He was too busy drinking in the sight of the man before him.

    He could never forget him, no matter how many centuries had passed.

    'Arthur?'


    When Merlin ultimately fails in his destiny, the fading remnants of magic that linger in the modern world fling him not just back in time, but sideways as well. He ends up in a Camelot where all his friends are alive, well and aware of his magic.

    He ends up in a Camelot where his alternate self died almost a year ago.

    Can he, Arthur and their friends still forge the golden age he was once promised, or will grief and suspicion tear them apart?

    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?

    Summary

    (This is the canon Heartstopper story told from Nick Nelson's perspective.
    It does not diverge from the canon, sometimes a sparkle or another is added.
    It follows both the comics and the Netflix adaptation, mixing both of them.)

    Nick is back to school for a new year and gets paired up with Year 10, Charlie. He takes particular interest on him and a friendship starts. Except this friendship is different than the other ones Nick has had, this makes him confused and brings about some change on his perception of himself.

    Summary

    A deeper dive into how Nick fell in love with Charlie, perhaps several chapters, sometimes canon, sometimes a bit canon-divergent. Mostly these boys have my whole heart and I wanted to imagine what it felt like for Nick, a bit inner-monologue, sometimes scenes will be imagined.

    Also, Alice once said in a Q&A that Charlie and Nick both wanted to propose to each other when they're older, but she hadn't decided who. For me, it's pretty clear who would so I wrote it =D

    (Please comment and let me know other scenes you'd like to see here!)
    Now rated E just to be safe, because I think it's important to the development in this case. I hope you won't think it's gratuitous as I want to do justice to the sweetness of Alice's characters, but I don't think that diminished the emphasis given to pleasure and enjoyment in the show. I hope to strike the middle ground where it feels like them, but it also goes into some depths of an awakening that is also, undeniably, about sensations and feeling.
