Summary
“We’re running out of time," Merlin said.
“You are already out of time. You always have been.”
Merlin felt the truth of it in his bones. He wanted to kill the old man for it.
“I’ll be back,” Merlin said. “You know I will. And I’ll remember, even when you don’t.”
Merlin woke in the woods, made sure Arthur was breathing, killed Morgana, and summoned Kilgharrah. He reached Avalon, bargained with the Sidhe, summoned Freya, tried everything he could think of. When it didn’t work, he killed himself, woke in the woods, and tried again.
--
Merlin cannot die. When he does, he wakes up at the beginning of the day of his death. Merlin cannot die, and he won't let Arthur die either.

Summary
Look, Robert believed in his team's potential, and he wanted to say he believed they could rise enough in the leader-board to not get cut.
But if being a hero taught him anything, it's that you always want a back-up plan. Insurance, if you will.
Some called it cheating, he called it leveling the playing field.

Summary
Ianto hadn’t expected death to be like this. For one thing, he’d thought that it wouldn’t make his back hurt.
A man pops out from behind the large, sort-of-round console in front of him. “Oh, good. You’re awake.” The man’s sort of… sickly looking.
“Am I- aren’t I dead?”
“Nope,” the Doctor announces, popping the ‘p’. “Pulled you out just in time.”
OR,
Post Children of Earth, Ianto wakes back up in the TARDIS, apparently not dead. Neither he nor Jack was expecting this.

Summary
He kisses Pin on his adorable fuzzy forehead. "Let's go hang out in the pantry while we check if I decompose, Pincushion."
"And also what the hell we're going to do about that if it turns out I do," he declares to the adorable, empty headed undead critter.He scowls at his fox in sudden realisation, dangling him like Simba from that old play.
"How do you not decompose, you feral little gremlin, you? You're just as undead as I am!" He complains to a chorus of wheezing from Halandil and mildly alarming giggling from Bolaire as he slips out of the living room and into the kitchen to hunt down the Lloy family's pantry, eat their snacks, and note down how his undead body reacts to those snacks.
Occtis is going to actually kill someone if it turns out that the answer is badly.Series

“Hello?” she calls.
Steve holds his breath again, even as he feels pressure build up behind his eyes. Because that’s his mother’s voice, and he hasn’t heard in twenty one (conscious) years. He doesn’t dare move.

'If Steve was going to travel back in time for anything before returning to his own timeline, it would be to see his mom again one last time'

tumblr prompt literally too long for the summary box:
https://www.tumblr.com/nondistinctmeganerd/793774353672175616/dont-get-me-wrong-any-red-hood-identity-revealHe’d been called out to a warehouse on the edge of Park Row, he’d explained to Leslie. They didn’t know Hood was there until Nightwing had snuck through one of the windows and saw him having a tense conversation with the traffickers who ran operations there, and then one of them- the leader, probably- had taken a threatening step forward.
Hood had remedied that by shooting him in the face, and from there all hell had broken loose. Nightwing dropped down- enemy of my enemy, and also maybe Hood would kill less of them if a Bat was there (he did not) and assisted, but one of the traffickers, by the end, had managed to set up a bomb with non-insubstantial amounts of C4. So then the warehouse had been a smoking wreck. Hood had taken the brunt of it, slamming hard into a wall, mask letting out a sharp crack, and slumping, unconscious.
And- well, is Dick supposed to just leave him there?

“I asked you about this once, you know. Whether or not magic had a place in Camelot.”
The oddest expression springs across Merlin’s face; hope. “And what did I say?”
(After a magical artifact comes into play, Merlin from s1 is transported into a version of s5, a time where Merlin will do anything, anything to keep Arthur alive. Arthur has to deal with the aftermath.)

Summary
Lance swallowed uncomfortably before he looked into Arthur’s eyes and spoke again. “Hunith died two years ago, sire.”
“She’s not dead. She cannot be! Merlin’s mum can’t be dead, I would know…He would have told me if she was!” He tried desperately to assure himself, but the truth he saw in Lancelot's brown eyes broke his heart again.
Or...
Hunith died two years ago, but Merlin only ever told Lancelot.
Arthur accidentally hurts him by suggesting he should go back home to visit her.Bookmarked by SleepingInTheStars

Summary
"Well, how did you know I would..." Arthur seemed to search for the words. "React positively?"
It was now Merlin’s turn to scoff. “Oh please, Arthur, you’re not as sly as you think. When I took off my neckerchief, you turned puce.”
“That should be illegal." Arthur flushed red. "I shouldn’t have to see your neck.”
Or, Merlin and Arthur start hooking up around the end of s1, after they’ve both, in a completely platonic way, decided the other is worth dying for. This situation is just a FWB one, not at all romantic, right? Right?
(OR or; author explores Merlin's crazy fucking devotion to Arthur, and Arthur's crazy devotion to Merlin. They're so codependent.)

The Justice League Consultant by eaglerayys

Summary
His hair was dark, but just a shade too dark, and far too long. Eyes that were just as intelligent, but filled with a genuine sparkle behind their familiar assessing gaze. A suit, still tailored, but lacking a vest and tie, shirt unbuttoned just this side of unprofessional. A smile that looked real, but that Peter knew better than to trust.
“I’m Agent Grayson, your JL consultant,” he said. Even his voice was just not quite right. It was uncanny, this man who should have been Neal was undisputedly was not.
Or
Not long after Neal Caffrey disappears without a trace, White Collar gets assigned a consultant from the Justice League, and Agent Grayson is just a little too familiar.

It's all up from there.

Summary
Compared to the first 17 years of his life, life in the Coast Guard was actually pretty relaxing for one Percy Jackson. He was barely 20 years old and he had already been promoted to a Petty Officer 1st Class, and so could afford the modest apartment that he and Annabeth shared across the hall from his Mom and Paul. And in another year, he’d be promoted, get his commission, marry Annabeth, and live happily ever after now that the gods were finally leaving him alone. Yep, life was looking pretty good for our Percy!
Which meant that this was the perfect time for an alien invasion! Yay?
