Summary
Regulus Black is in love with a straight boy. It’s okay, he thinks, it’s a gay rite of passage. It’ll pass.
But the boy isn’t straight.
Right. Okay. So as long as there’s no meddling from Sirius or Remus or Barty or Lily or Marlene then Regulus will probably get out of this unscathed.
Which- yeah. Yeah.

Summary
James Potter has a boy-crush. It’s a normal thing.
He’s trying to explain but Remus just doesn’t seem to get it- he’s fantastically jealous of Regulus because he wants Lily. Which is why he wants to kiss Regulus. It makes sense.
Remus has never heard someone say something so gay to prove that they’re straight.

Summary
Regulus is really trying to hate summer, but then here comes a perfect summer afternoon of unpleasantly insightful friends, endearing truths and James Potter in the form of a ridiculous, radiant jump scare.
Really, things were fine until Peter appeared, and then suddenly Dorcas is lusting, Lily's crying and Sirius has collapsed across the field.
Being compared to a summer's day just became a little less serene.

Summary
In an effort to prepare against future attempts on Arthur's life, the knights are sharing their suggestions for ways to kill the king.
Merlin's been lucky enough to observe some experts (and idiots) in real-life attempts, so has his answer ready suspiciously fast.
Really, he's put a lot of thought into it.

Summary
The man who always sits on James's favourite bench is so intimidatingly beautiful that James Potter, known for his babbling, can't think of what to say.
He's always there, though, a single, comforting constant. James will work it out eventually.

Summary
Even at his most feverish, Alex prizes his perfect attendance above most things. That's why he emails his professor to explain exactly how sick he is, and why he'll be missing class today.
Or he tries to. The wording doesn't go exactly as he planned. Neither does the recipient. Or recipients.
Fingers crossed one of the (many) recipients of Alex's cry for help decides to answer. (It's Henry. Henry answers.)

Summary
Fighting with Henry is a weirdly comforting constant in Alex's life, and he's determined not to read into that. No thank you.
Fighting for Henry? Not comforting, not constant. Suddenly (but not really) Henry's super hot and Alex can't ignore it anymore. He can blame Henry for it, though, so that's something.
Ft. Nora 'Dick You Down' Holleran, Mama Ellen's updated sex-ed PowerPoint, and vigilante justice in its many forms.

Summary
James was supposed to be drifting, moving from town to town, free from roots and responsibilities.
One beautiful man puts a spanner in those works, and James never even got to speak to him. So he goes back to that same bar, hoping to see that face again, but the longer he waits, the less hope he has.
Barty is absolutely delighted to watch the whole pathetic business unfold.

Summary
It's been said that Regulus Black has terrible taste in men, and James Potter is inclined to agree. Although that might just be because, so far, Regulus's taste in men hasn't been James.
Tonight, Regulus is in James's bar, but that's surprisingly normal. He doesn't usually look so tragic, though. And he doesn't usually demand cheering up.
Or: someone's spreading lies, and Marlene, of all people, was the only one to see the truth.

Summary
In terms of secrets, Merlin has three big ones.
The first: he’s in love with the king. One might think the forbidden magic would be first, but there you go.
The second: his magic. Reasonably self-explanatory.
The third is where things get a bit complicated.

Summary
James has been in love with his best friend’s little brother for the longest time, and taking a detour to walk him home is about to be the most embarrassing thing he's ever done.
Remus has just met Sirius. God help him.

Summary
The second time Merlin killed Morgana (long after Camlann and setting of the golden rays of Camelot) it wasn’t planned.
It was a spur of the moment, angry thing, and he had no idea the course of events he had set into motion.
But more on that later. Now, we join Merlin just as he receives a most unexpected text.

Summary
The first night Merlin meets Arthur, they don't get on.
Unfortunately for them, but fortunately for the gleeful spectators, they just can't seem to stop meeting.
And once they stop resisting? Then they can't stop wondering how they managed to avoid each other in the first place.

Summary
Ealdor is a small, proud, gossipy town like any other.
When two knights stumble in with unfriendly company on their tails, they take up their swords to defend the town and her people.
A gallant gesture, truly, but this town’s alarmingly beautiful leader needs no help from knights in shining armour.
It does make for a good story, though.

Summary
When James sees the portrait of Sirius’s great uncle (or something), something stirs in him, something that had been lying dormant, just under his skin.
He tries to forget, tries to live as he’d been living, but nothing and everything is different.
So he lets go, and lets the tether draw him home.

Summary
All Merlin and Arthur wanted was a quiet meal and a good night’s sleep after a long day’s travel.

Summary
Regulus Black is glad to have his brother back, most of the time.
He does seem to come as a package deal with his idiotic friends, but Regulus is perfectly content to interact with them as little as possible.
That is until Sirius realises Regulus was waiting for an invitation, and James makes a plan.
Bring on the first three months of the rest of their lives.

Summary
There's a rumour in St Petersburg.
Napoleon Solo and Gaby Teller intend to take full advantage of the city's rampant rumour mill, by taking one lucky young man all the way to Paris to present as the Grand Duke Illya Kuryakin to his royal grandmama, the Dowager Empress.
Illya, an orphan with no name and no memories before the age of eight, is looking for a clue to his past, and perhaps to his future.
But nothing is ever as simple as it seems, and in a life full of choices, love, identity and evil are a complicated cocktail.
