Summary
Arthur dies.
Camelot burns.
And yet, despite it all, Merlin survives.
He persists, long after his friends have perished, experiences the rise and fall of empires, watches man walk on the moon- but Sherlock Holmes?Meeting him may cost Merlin everything (Including, predictably, his sanity).
Or: Merlin decides to move to inner city 20th Century London to pull his life back together. Instead, he meets John Watson and Sherlock Holmes and- well let's just say his life gets a lot more interesting then he had planned on.
[The mature rating is mostly for some more heavy handed crime scene and murder descriptions, as well as some focus on mental health. Don't worry though! We add warnings in the start-of-chapter notes, and mark parts to skip.
It isn't nearly as serious as the tags suggest, we promise there’s loads of fun stuff in here too to balance out the angst (like ample sass and sarcasm; this is a Sherlock Merlin crossover, after all)]

Summary
Months after Harry is promoted to Head of Magical Law Enforcement, tragedy strikes. Cursed, Harry blames himself and flees to the States. And he's doing fine; really, he's having a grand time hiding from the world, drinking himself into a stupor, and losing himself in west Manhattan. Then, he stumbles into a lounge bar.
OR
Draco plays the piano and Harry heals in more ways than one. Much political intrigue, terrorism, London post-war crime, dark magic, curses.

Summary
She doesn't believe in love, he's a hopeless romantic, and their untimely run-in definitely isn't rom-com worthy. Not at all. So what happens when a cynical Commitments columnist and owner of one of the top wedding planning businesses cross each others paths? Certainly not instant chemistry. Not in her mind, anyway. But fate has other plans. What should have been one night turns into an unconventional arrangement that brings two opposites closer and closer together. But how long can they keep pretending before things become a little too real?

Summary
Hermione Granger has a plan: show up, have one drink, leave early.
What she doesn’t plan on? Wearing a ridiculous St. Patrick's Day shirt ☘︎. Or meeting Ron Weasley—Ginny's rugby-playing, annoyingly attractive older brother who seems far too entertained by it.
So much for leaving early.

Summary
A boy descends from the heavens, skin kissed by the sun, and hair as gold as the many medals that adorn his chestplate. His purple cloak billows over his shoulders like a Roman emperor, face as stern as any somber military leader, and his eyes are an electrifying blue that makes Nico think of Thalia.
Instead of the fear and alarm shown by many campers, this boy scans the armor-cladded skeletons Nico summoned and the anxious diamond at Hazel’s feet. There’s a scar on this boy’s mouth that’s enhanced by his scowl—and suddenly, the harsh demeanor fades. The electrifying hue of his eyes disappear—matching the color of the morning sky instead. He glances at the skeletons once more, then looks at Hazel and Nico, impressed.
“Whoa,” he says.
Nico hates how his heart skips a beat.
---
The month before Praetor Grace disappeared from Camp Jupiter was the happiest month of Nico's life.

Summary
"Are you going for the course?" Lovegood asked. "You have the NEWTs.”
“What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.
“Oh, I thought you might,” she said. “Well, goodbye.” And off she wandered again in her addled way.

The War is over. At least that’s what everybody keeps saying. But the Reformation has begun, and the work is just beginning.

The election is approaching, desperate Death Eater attacks continue, and through it all, who can be trusted? Does he even want to be a part of it all?

Summary
Regulus Black knows what his future holds. He will be a good son, a good Pureblood, and a good Slytherin. He will not stray from the path set out for him since birth.
The trouble begins with a bar of Fry’s Turkish Delight—or maybe it begins with a Charms competition, a stick-and-poke in the Prefects’ bathroom, and a Hufflepuff with strange magic.
Or: Pandora Lovegood was born Pandora Trelawney. When her inconvenient magical gift puts her squarely in Regulus Black's path, an unlikely friendship blossoms. The consequences echo past their final year at Hogwarts, follow them to opposite sides of the battlefield, and change the course of the First Wizarding War for the better.

Summary
Amidst the row houses, there was a brick building with a single overhead light and an old wooden sign. The Burrow, it read, in loopy scrawl that looked as though it was done by not one, but many hands. And at the door was a boy--no, older than a boy, though not by much--with very red hair.
“You alright?” he yelled.
“Lost,” she yelled back.
The boy held the door open.
