How She Bangs the Pages of Her Wings When She Flies by CaughtInTheRa1n
Fandoms: Merlin (TV)
20 Jan 2021

Summary
After Morgana admits to having magic, Merlin and Gwen promise to help her. But when a tragic accident lands Morgana and Merlin in a prison cell, can Morgana trust herself to save them both? And can she forgive herself before she loses the woman she loves?
Or
Merlin's pretty useless (but at least he can pronounce the spells), Morgana is a perfectly functional human being (unless Gwen is involved), Gwen is missing, Arthur has a sword, and prison cells are apparently great places for self-reflection.
Oh, and Morgana deserved better, so I'm giving her better.

Summary
Merlin may not know much, but he knows not to believe any old prophecy a dragon tells him, especially without proof. He came to Camelot to determine his own fate, not to blindly follow his supposed destiny.
He even turns down King Uther's offer to work as a servant for the insufferable Prince Arthur, but they just can't seem to stop crossing paths.
The last thing Merlin wanted while he was on his hands and knees with his head in a bush, searching for the elusive snake, was to hear Arthur's pompous voice from behind him.
"What are you doing?" scoffed the prince.
"You haven't seen a snake around here, by any chance?" asked Merlin, extracting himself from the bush with difficulty and sitting back on his heels.
"I'm sorry, one of my knights is in need of medical attention, and the physician's assistant is searching for a new pet?"

Summary
'Lena is decidedly normal about the expanse of skin the action reveals. Totally normal about Kara’s forearms. She has nothing to say about the freckles on her wrist, or the addictive shape of her hands. There’s no feeling of fondness for the way Kara’s pinky quirks above the rest of her fingers as she types. Lena couldn’t care less about how Kara bites her lip as she focuses on her screen.'
⤷ Five times Lena denies her feelings for Kara, and one time she finally gives in.

Summary
There were several long moments of tense silence as the gravity of the situation sunk in. Merlin had used magic, and Arthur had been awake. Arthur had seen.
When Arthur finds out Merlin has magic, at first, he’s angry, then he feels betrayed, then torn—ultimately he doesn’t know what, exactly, to do with his manservant. Of course, he could never hurt Merlin, could he?
Set in the middle of season 2 just before The Nightmare Begins, Arthur learns about Merlin's magic. This story shows several select episodes, as well as our own scenes following the canon narrative from the perspective of Arthur knowing about Merlin’s magic.

How To Save The World With No One Even Realizing by IncompleteSentanc (Erava)
Fandoms: Naruto
04 Aug 2016
Tags
Summary
Minato knows at the beginning of the week that it's going to be a hellish one. Mostly because it starts with the kidnapping of one of his two remaining students, only a year after they'd lost the first one. He just doesn't realize at the time that it's not going to be a hellish week - it's going to be hell for quite a bit longer than that.
It all starts with Rin's kidnapping, and her subsequent rescue at the hands of a mysteriously appearing, monstrously strong, murderously violent woman.
A woman with cotton candy pink hair.
It only devolves from there.

Summary
Everybody lives, post-finale AU. Arthur/Merlin, Morgana/Gwen. Arthur reaches Avalon, and makes a choice that changes everything.
Morgana crests the hill, that last hill between her and the lake of Avalon, just in time to see Merlin cast off his boat from the shore, Arthur leaning against his side: bloodied, weak, alive. In a matter of seconds, the boat crosses the border between this world and the next and enters Avalon, traveling beyond Morgana’s reach.
Her shriek of rage flattens the woods around her for twenty feet in every direction.

Summary
“I killed him, Sam.”
It went quiet on the call for a beat.
“Killed who?” Sam asked, voice neutral.
“I… I didn’t… I didn’t think I could actually do it. I thought… he would have a plan…” Lena mumbled, staring into Lex’s unmoving eyes as if they were blackholes pulling her in. “He always has a plan.”
“You killed Lex.” Sam said.
“I killed my brother.” Lena corrected quietly, her legs were beginning to ache - she had been sitting on the concrete floor for over an hour now and she was starting to feel the effects but she didn't dare move. There was a childish fear inside of herself that if she moved, Lex would too.

Summary
Lex survives the encounter with Lena that leads to the reveal of Supergirl’s identity, using her devastation as a distraction to escape. In the aftermath Lena cuts Kara off completely, intending a clean break between them. That is at least, until Lex kidnaps Supergirl for a new experiment.
Kara is left without her powers or her memories of Krypton, facing potentially fatal consequences if she learns the truth of who she is. Lena is her best hope of a cure, but just because Kara has forgotten what really happened between them, that doesn’t mean Lena has forgiven her.
And she’s not going to.
...Right?

Summary
“You’re familiar with this- this liable? “ Lena manages, fury compressing her words into hard little stones.
Jess fiddles with her glasses a moment, reminding Lena of someone else, before resuming her usual fortified stance. “Not this particular story, no… “
“This particular...“ Lena blinks. “Are you implying there are more? “
Jess looks to the ceiling for a moment for strength, or maybe an escape hatch, before sighing. She pulls the guest chair around to Lena’s side of the desk in a way that screams of a TV parent about to teach a life lesson. “It’s called fanfiction, Ms. Luthor.” She sits, laying a hand on Lena’s, “And there is a LOT of it.”
AKA
Lena discovers FanFiction about herself and a certain Superhero... and decides she can write it SO much better

"And you are?" Lena says, holding her hand out to shake. Kara takes it, and puts in every effort not to crush it in her nervousness. Lena's hand is dry and cold where Kara's is uncomfortably hot.
"Kara Danvers," Kara says, putting on her best smile. "Reporter. It's great to meet you, I think we really – "
"Ah, Kara Danvers. The newest addition to the roster, and yet one who has her own private office on the 21st floor," Lena interrupts.
OR
How would early season 3 look if Lena and Kara didn't meet until after Lena bought CatCo, and Lena thought Kara was a total nepo baby?

Summary
Everyone knows that Tom Riddle is the perfect Avatar. An effortless diplomat and prodigious bender, he’s the Fire Nation’s pride and joy.
Strangely, though, Riddle has never been able to access the Avatar State. To that end, Hermione Granger—a Northern waterbending master—has been invited to the Fire Nation’s Royal Palace, in hopes that her qi-therapy techniques will unlock Riddle’s full Avatar power.
No one knows that Hermione Granger is part of a society that has been tracking Riddle’s actions meticulously for years. Hermione knows full well that Riddle isn’t what he seems. She knows what he’s planning to do if he unlocks the Avatar State.
She’s going to make sure that never happens.

Summary
“The essence of totalitarian government, and perhaps the nature of every bureaucracy, is to make functionaries and mere cogs in the administrative machinery out of men, and thus to dehumanize them.“
After Voldemort wins over Wizarding Britain, Hermione emerges from hiding to undertake a dangerous mission for the now-decimated Order. Using a modified Polyjuice Potion, she adopts a new identity and begins working undercover at the Ministry of Magic, alongside Draco Malfoy.

Summary
“Are we… are we okay?”
“We’re stuck in a nuclear apocalypse, likely a result of my father’s gross negligence, and now used as a playground for an egomaniac’s deranged, power fantasies.”
“Lena.” Her name is a slow sigh. A patient, painstakingly fragile one at that.
Lena closes her eyes, inhaling against the torrent of emotions fighting towards a surface she’s not ready to break.
“Us being stuck here together doesn’t change anything.”
---
Or, Kara and Lena find themselves stranded on a barren Earth where they are forced to work together to survive and finally confront the toxic wasteland their relationship has become.

“Please,” Lena says, shrugging her shoulders. “You know you’re my favourite. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You’re my favourite. You’re acting like this is brand new information.”
And that's—
Wow. To hear Lena say this, to know that this still holds true even after everything that has happened… Kara flushes. She fiddles with her belt, exhales softly.
or Lena is a terrible enabler. Kara wants anything and everything Lena will give her, and underneath the weight of such gentle, earnest warmth, it keeps escaping Kara why that is dangerous.

Summary
In every life, you have to make trade-offs. Shepard has always been at peace with what she's given up to be who and what she is, mostly because she's focused her attention on everything but her own personal life. Even her dearest friends know that she will always, to some degree, hold them at arm's length.
But the war has a way of burning everyone down to their most essential selves, and in the end even Shepard can't help seeing, finally, what she wants, what she needs--and what she may have lost.
