    Summary

    Albion was Arthur’s world, and Camelot his compass. He could be blindfolded and set anywhere on the island, and he’d be able to find his way back to the citadel. He couldn’t remember ever learning it, not really. It was in his blood, his heart. He was Albion’s, and it was his.

    He looked down at Merlin, and tried not to think too hard about what the Druids had called him.

    Emrys. Power. Albion. Magic itself.

    Summary

    “I’ll fix it.” Merlin croaks. “I’ll fix everything. We’ll switch places. You’ll be back in Camelot in no time. You’ll see Gwen again. I promise.”

    Arthur makes a noise of protest but Merlin shushes him. “I know you don’t trust me anymore but I will make everything right.” Merlin vows.

    The sorcerer truly means this, Arthur knows. Sincerity is practically dripping from every word. It’s such a Merlin thing to promise, with that earnest and determined tone. It only scares Arthur more.

    Summary

    Across centuries of plagues, wars, and new names for old cruelties, Merlin endures. After Camlann he walks the long road alone, a sorcerer who will not die and a lover who cannot forget. When grief finally tears a seam in time, he falls back into Camelot on the first day of his destiny. This time Merlin is smarter, quiet where he must be, ruthless where it counts, and determined to change fate for his golden-haired king.

    “That’s not very knightly of you, darling,” he called, voice lazy as a cat sunning on a sill.
    Arthur turned. Blue eyes, quick and keen and infuriatingly curious, flicked over him. “Excuse me?”
    “Using a servant as a moving target.” Merlin tipped his head toward the boy trotting in a circle, the shield clattering against his spine. “It’s crude. If you wanted to show off, you could have asked me to watch. I make an excellent audience.
    A squire choked. The boy stumbled to a grateful halt.
    Arthur’s mouth flattened into the princely version of a smile’s shadow. “Do you know who you’re talking to?”
    “Handsome, overconfident, dangerously good with his hands,” Merlin said. “Likes knives more than apologies. I’ve met your type.”

    A.k.a Merlin fixes destiny with flirting,

    Summary

    This is porn with a healthy dose of feelings. The first chapter is mostly first date fluff and kink negotiations. Second chapter is where the smut starts.

    Summary

    Bruce and Clark are sleeping together, but it doesn't mean anything in particular. Bruce has started—giving Clark things, too. But that doesn't mean anything either.

    Right?

    (Or: five things Bruce gives Clark, and the feelings Clark has about them.)
