Summary
A hand grasped his arm, sending a brief thrill down Merlin's nerves as he was forced around to face the person behind him. Armour gleamed in the firelight: supple chainmail glinted, and the solid iron of a pauldron curved lovingly over one broad shoulder. The length of a sword blade separated them. The point hovered, steady and sure, over Merlin's heart, braced to run him through, but he did not care about any of that. He was too busy drinking in the sight of the man before him.
He could never forget him, no matter how many centuries had passed.
'Arthur?'
When Merlin ultimately fails in his destiny, the fading remnants of magic that linger in the modern world fling him not just back in time, but sideways as well. He ends up in a Camelot where all his friends are alive, well and aware of his magic.
He ends up in a Camelot where his alternate self died almost a year ago.
Can he, Arthur and their friends still forge the golden age he was once promised, or will grief and suspicion tear them apart?

Summary
None of them were lunging to their feet with accusations on their lips. They knew what was happening, and five of the most loyal knights in all of Camelot were trying to keep it secret.
---
Guinevere only meant to offer Merlin some respite, to ease the worst of his exhaustion and watch over him while he slept. Instead, she ends up making a stunning discovery.

Summary
Merlin and Gwaine get a new flat. It turns out to be not quite 'as advertised,' though, to be fair, the landlord never actually said, "There are no tragic, horny, gay ghosts occupying this space."
(The fact that nobody asked for a security deposit after seeing Merlin's credentials should have been their first clue.)

Summary
In a world where magic is known, MI6 is just one of many organizations that work to keep the magical mayhem in check - and James has unique abilities that make him one of the best. When he gets sent to handle some would-be-warlocks in the park, he expects to find just some kids fooling around. What he finds is decidedly more than he bargained for...
Or, a story in which James ends up saddled with a magically maligned boffin on Christmas Eve.

Summary
Prequel to "Are we ever going to talk about this?"
Standalone snippets of their 'not dating' dates. Events big and small that draw them inevitably together and the intimacy they share in plain sight.
Slow build with tooth rotting fluff, humour, a clueless Q who slowly catches on, interspaced with some Q-centric backstory.I had lots of fun writing this so join me for the ride!

Summary
The strange thing is that Barton ought to be an unremarkable man. He has no superpowers, no enhancements, no complicated vengeful backstory, or at least not one that was mentioned in his file. What he seems to have - helping his neighbour upstairs with her groceries, or stopping a mugger, or fighting against Doombots with the Avengers and putting himself at unacceptable risk - is an unshakeable loyalty and a dented moral compass that nonetheless always points him right.
It's intriguing. Confusing. Fascinating in ways that the Soldier has no idea how to explain.
So instead he reports back on the harmless details; the dog, the range, the dull gold ring on the fourth finger of Barton's left hand.

Summary
Following the events of CA:TWS, the Winter Soldier finds Hawkeye. Clint is still haunted by his own experiences with having his control stripped away, but together they find a way to heal.
Excerpt:
“How did you even … how are you tracking me?” Clint tries.
The question seems to confuse Barnes even further. He looks at Clint, and then somewhere behind Clint’s shoulder, and then back to Clint’s eyes.
“I don’t know,” Barnes says again.
“Listen,” Clint says, taking a step forward, and Barnes flinches back instinctively, stumbling for a moment.
“Whoa,” Clint says. Before he knows it he’s sheathing the knife and grabbing Barnes’ arm, steadying him. Barnes blinks rapidly a few times, wobbling a bit before he seems to find his balance again. His slate-blue gaze, so intent a moment ago, seems a little unfocused.
“When’s the last time you ate? Drank something? Slept?”
“I don’t know,” Barnes says, Clint mouthing the lines along with him.
Christ, Nat is going to kill him when she finds out about this, but there’s nothing else Clint can do.
“Well, c’mon in the house. We’ll get this figured out.”

Summary
"The king sent me to get you," Merlin said, with a tone that implied strongly that he wasn't rolling his eyes where Arthur could see, but just wait until his back was turned. "He said you're to get changed into formal clothes and meet him in the Great Hall, there's a delegation coming from the Summer Court."

Summary
When M tells James to take a vacation and make something for himself to go home to other than alcohol and sex, 007 is not enthused. The closest thing he had to a home was Skyfall Lodge, and even he had to admit that it was incredibly old and needed updating for it to be livable and safe. When Trevelyan steps in to say that he knows a bloke who can rig up security systems, however - and is discreet besides - James decides to accept some professional help.
But despite being an MI6 assassin-spy who's seen just about everything, James isn't prepared for the distrustful, aloof boffin who turns up on his doorstep, full of exactly the sort of thing agents couldn't get enough of: secrets and surprises. Q isn't a mission, though, so it will be up to James to figure out how to deal with (and maybe, just maybe, get close to) this posh young man without hurting him worse than he already is.

Summary
Sequel to: you’re a holy fool all colored blue.
Home, for James, was once a shoulder holster in a foreign country, women he didn’t know and regularly forgot, the London skyline outside his window, a martini shaken just right, and a suit so sharp, marks sometimes cut themselves on his edges. Home, now, is a person, is pizza after a long day, an entire cabinet full of tea, soft pillows and a warm mouth across his shoulders—it’s still London, but home is a flat he shares, a bed where he fights for blankets, the permanent indent of a book spine resting against his ribs, and he’s finally done running away.

Summary
Q wonders, briefly, how James could possibly think this is an appropriate time to profess his undying love—or whatever the hell it is he’s attempting to do; though, frankly, the skeleton suit did make him blink a bit stupidly at his laptop—but then something explodes to his left, and Q heaves a long-suffering sigh and snaps at him for ruining everything good in the world. James laughs and carries on wielding his Walther like it isn’t the 7500th replacement that Q has thrown at him.
