Summary
Was any of this... really worth it?
Such questions had been plaguing Scott's mind as of late no matter what he did. From the kingdom's gates to his garden and to his bed, they followed his every step.
In other words: Scott runs away from the Blue Kingdom because I said so

Summary
“…Nom?”
Nom felt himself freeze. Every nerve and muscle in his body suddenly on high alert as he bit his bottom lip down to not make a noise. He knew that voice. God damnit. He was so busy wallowing in self pity he hadn’t even recognized the familiar heartbeat to his left or the soft footsteps of leather boots.
Nom didn’t dare move a muscle. Partly because it would hurt like hell if he did, but also because a childish part of him hoped that maybe the voice would turn away.
Of course, the voice was Scott, and Scott didn’t turn away. So all he could do was stare at the ground, force himself to not move his eyes up to his neck, and pierce through the skin to the blood vessels and revel as they pop.
Or; Canon compliant except what if Nom was a vampire, and also Scott is there. That's it lmao

Summary
Avid discovers a scroll, capable of bringing a Guardian down from their resting place. In a desperate attempt at winning against the Coven, they summon one of the four: Guardian’s Oath.
What happens when someone as old as these Guardians themselves finds out about this new discovery? What happens when they start to recognise each other? What happens when we throw Scott Goldsmith, previously Scott Springwell, into this mess?

Summary
In a realm shattered by the Bannerfall war, the ruins of the Blue and Red Kingdoms cling to a fragile ceasefire. Scott Springwell, a hesitant 21-year-old half-elf from the peaceful village of Barrowhill, is summoned to the Blue Kingdom to serve as their "High Mage." But Scott is no war-hero; he is a gardener by heart, burdened by "glitchy" magic that triggers only when he’s afraid, and a deep-seated fear that he is a fraud playing dress-up in a graveyard.
As Scott struggles to find his place among a ragtag group of survivors—stoic knights, mischievous rogues, and rival mages—a darker shadow begins to stretch across the valley. With the sudden appearance of a cursed dungeon and its ancient inhabitant, the Creaking King, a mysterious plague begins to seep into the land.
While the sickness takes a standard toll on others, it finds a unique, hungry home in Scott. The vibrant life-magic of the Springwell lineage begins to sour, mutating into something ancient and wooden. As the "Ode" plays on, Scott must face a terrifying reality: he isn't just fighting to save a kingdom; he is fighting a countdown as his own body slowly turns into the very nightmare he was summoned to defeat.

Summary
Merlin would have expected his magic would be revealed in some epic life or death scenario.
Not for something so mundane.“You know what. Yes. I do confess I have magic.”, Merlin said. And suddenly the room was silent. Honestly, why were they surprised? He was just condemned to death for sorcery.[...]
"No. Gaius didn't know.. [....] In fact, I've been very careful hiding my secret from all of you. [...]
Which is why this is the stupidest thing I have EVER heard!”, Merlin shook of the knights hand, as he stepped forward to the king. Like a mad man. To be fair, he was a little mad.“Burned... for heating tea.”, Merlin shook his head.
[...] "How fucked up is that?!"Alternatively: what if Merlin was actually condemned to be executed but just decided to -not let them do that.

Summary
Merlin leads a relatively content life - or as content as is possible under the rule of a magic-hating King. When the arrogant son of said magic-hating King starts becoming a regular at his coffee shop, Merlin is a little puzzled. When said
Princeprat then proceeds to ingest a love potion on Merlin's watch that results in him having to move into the Royal Palace as Prince Arthur's (fake) boyfriend, Merlin wonders which deity he has angered. Things only get more complicated from there.“Welcome to The Drip and Grind, what can I get for you?"
“The same thing I always have,” Prince Arthur says, sounding vaguely disdainful and unbearably posh. “One would think you’d remember my order by now."
Merlin scowls. He remembers His Haughtiness’ order perfectly well, but sees no reason to inflate an already unbearably large ego.
“You’re not my only customer,” Merlin keeps his voice coolly polite; barely.
“You realise that’s not the proper way to address me?”
And is that a smirk at the corner of the stupid prat’s, stupidly gorgeous mouth?
“Apologies, your High-and-Mightiness. Now do you think you can tell me your order or must I divine it from my crystal ball?”- Language:

Author's Summary:
“You’re the Prince?” Merlin says, eyeing him. He hesitates, then adds, defiant, “The Mad Prince of Camelot.”
Arthur doesn’t move. There’s quiet for a long time, then he says it. “I am.”
“You don’t seem mad,” he says.
The smile wells up from somewhere deep, and very sad. “Well, Merlin,” he says, “give me time.”

Summary
Sirius studied Remus’ face. He was curious what he thought of all of this, the only one of them who didn’t have a mark– theoretically– and the only one with a muggle parent. Muggles didn’t get marks, he knew. If Remus’ parents were soulmates, then they wouldn’t know it. He wondered if there was a way to tell, though. If they could just feel it, somehow, even without the help of some magical fate.
Because it seemed like something you would just know, just from being near someone, from being close enough to them, from being in the same space. Like their souls would attract like magnets or like water droplets traveling down a window, waiting to merge until the last moment when they realized they were on the same path, and then they’d become one.
Was that fate, Sirius wondered?
He realized Remus was staring back at him, his eyes puzzled and curious and warm.
Sirius looked away first and didn’t look back, pushing down something heavy and impossible in his chest.

Summary
"It's... it's not good," Harry tells them lowly. "They've given him a month's time, only."
There is so much he needs to explain, but his head is foggy and exhausted and he can't think properly, can't think of how to relay all that he's learned.
"Have you heard of Alucinatio?" is what he starts with.
"The Daydream potion," Hermione says. "The person who intakes it experiences very vivid and realistic daydreams of all they could ever want, but is essentially in a severely catatonic state out in the external world, incapable of any basic functions."
Harry nods. "Somebody's given it to Malfoy." He remembers the tattered remains of a black cloak wrapped around Malfoy. "I think it might have been Professor Snape."
They take a minute to process that.
"And... the cure?" Ron asks.
"Tears of anyone the experiencer craves love of," Hermione answers.

Summary
“Could I get a name for the order?” Marlene asked.
“Serious,” the man replied. “Like the star,” he clarified, and Remus mentally scratched out 'Serious' and rewrote 'Sirius' in his head.
“The… star?” Marlene asked, her pen hovering over the cup as she hesitated.
“S-I-R-I-U-S,” Remus said. He stocked croissants into the display case, not looking up. “The Dog Star,” he added, “brightest star in the sky, actually. Visible from both hemispheres.” When he looked over, the man– Sirius– seemed surprised, his eyebrows raised as Remus spoke, and when Remus finished, he blinked a few times before smiling lopsidedly.
“Er– yeah,” he breathed a laugh. “That.” There was a baby on his hip. Somehow, it had taken Remus a second glance to notice that.

Or, Remus works as a barista and Sirius comes in every morning with the world's cutest baby, and man, these two just wrote the book on mutual pining, huh?

Summary
King Arthur sets out to keep his promise to the spirit of the Druid boy by repealing his father's ban on magic. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done, for reasons including but not limited to the following:
(1) He can't change the law until he understands magic better, but no sorcerer is willing to explain magic to him until he changes the law;
(2) The sorcerers all have some strange obsession with Merlin, which is awakening all sorts of feelings in Arthur that he really doesn't fancy examining too closely;
(3) He is starting to feel like the butt of some Druid-population-wide inside joke involving the mysterious phenomenon called Emrys; and
(4) Oh yeah, Morgana is still trying to kill him.
Thus he embarks on a journey of discovery, diplomacy, accountability, and self-improvement, and maybe even falls in love along the way.
