    Summary

    Stephanie Lauter declares her major as late as she can possibly declare it without getting expelled from college. (Actually, later, by a couple of months. But her dad's 'generous donation' of hush money, is called hush money for a reason. So, we're not going to talk about that.)

    One of the most un-fucking-expected consequences, it turns out, to only declaring your major by your junior year, is being forced to tech this semester's production of the fucking Nutcracker.

    (Alternatively Titled: I take Lautski Week Day 1 Prompt: Sugar to it's most distant applicability by using it to make Peter Spankoffski a ballerina. You are welcome, Stephanie Lauter.)

    Summary

    --

    Rewrite of 5x03 The Death Song of Uther Pendragon: In which Arthur married Merlin instead of Gwen at the end of season 4. When Arthur releases Uther’s ghost with the Horn of Cathbhadh, Uther is furious that Arthur has legalized magic and married a sorcerer.

    Summary

    Morgana has a plan. An absolutely fool-proof plan:

    • Enchant Merlin to fall in love with the first person he sees
    • Make sure that person is Gwen
    • Break Arthur’s heart and take away his closest friend in one fell swoop

    But even the best-laid plans can go awry...
