Summary
"Don't you think, should Arthur have magic, should Arthur be Magic, that we ought to support him?" Gwaine asked quietly, his voice low and gaze serious.
Merlin let out a high pitched and bird-like noise in response.
(Or the one where Grettir was more vague and so there's much confusion in who is Courage, who is Strength, and who is Magic. But especially that last one.)

Summary
An AU of the season 4 finale, wherein Arthur refuses to abandon his castle during Morgana's seige, and Merlin refuses to use magic to take away Arthur's will, so they're at an impasse.
Rather than break his moral code to bewitch Arthur, Merlin decides to break his secrecy. If Arthur doesn't want to leave his Castle... fine. They won't. Merlin will just have to take it back for him... and all that entails.

Summary
They accidentally take over a castle. Well, Gwaine calls it liberating. Merlin’s not sure what to call it—there was a lord, and now there isn’t.
(Kanen comes to Ealdor early, and that changes everything.)

Summary
“Merlin, what is in your hair?” Gaius asks - rather judgmentally, Merlin thinks. It’s not as though Gaius can turn into a bird, making his opinion irrelevant. Everyone’s opinions shall now be irrelevant to him unless they can turn into birds, he decides. He puts a hand to his hair and feels a leaf.
(So this is a very canon-inaccurate sort of re-telling, with some big divergences, minus a dragon or prophecy or two)

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."

Thanks for Thumper, But I Prefer Cheeseburgers by isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella) for adara

Summary
The wolf’s head whipped around so fast, Stiles felt like he was watching The Exorcist.
Stiles wondered if he could just stand still enough to make the wolf think he was a tree. A very bright red and jean-clad tree. He doubted it, but one could hope.
He knew it was a lost cause when the wolf turned fully, lips pulled back from its sharp teeth—so very sharp, good fucking Lord!—and began walking towards Stiles.
“I didn’t see anything!” Stiles shouted, both hands out in front of himself and sweat instantly breaking out across his skin. “I swear to you! I didn’t see anything! I didn’t see anything! I won’t tell anyone! I won’t! I’ll keep this to myself, until the day I die! I promise! I promise!”

“It’s like he can’t help himself.” She says around a scoop of Double Bubblegum. Eddie always chooses the worst flavours, but that still isn’t going to stop Robin from nibbling away at his complementary banana split. “He’s a compulsive flirter. It’s weird. I’m worried for him.”
“I’m not.” Eddie sighs softly, kind of dreamily, propping his elbow on table and resting his chin on top of his open palm. “It’s special when he flirts with me, though, right?”
“Don’t flatter yourself.” Robin snorts.

In the summer of '85, Robin and Eddie make a bet: ten dollars says Steve Harrington is straight, and Eddie has the whole summer to prove her wrong

Summary
Eddie felt like a fool, sure. He couldn't not feel stupid at the apparent death grip the sight of Steve Harrington in that god forsaken sailor suit had on his soul. And his erection, but that wasn't a conversation for polite company. He also felt like an absolute loser because as much time as he'd spent sitting on the bench directly outside Scoops Ahoy, he couldn't bring himself to actually go in.
He was a freak.
Not stupid.
OR
Eddie takes a uncalculated risk at Starcourt...
And it pays off--

Summary
Eddie survives, but his entire life is locked away in the Upside Down forever (his books, his DnD stuff, his guitar.) Everything that wasn't on Eddie when Steve carried him into the ER, gone.
So naturally Steve starts giving him things. Handing Eddie back those little outward markers of who he is.

Summary
Eddie hates when Hellfire is interrupted.
Nothing good ever comes from anyone coming into the meeting room in the middle of the session, and he has a plethora of evidence in form of slur-filled taunts and painful bruises to back this statement up.
So when the door slammed open only twenty minutes into the start of Hellfire, he knew to prepare for the worst.

Summary
Eddie hasn't spoken to Gareth and the others since whatever went down with Chrissy Cunningham, now Gareth sees him playing basketball with Steve Harrington and a bunch of kids, what the fuck is going on?
Sinclair sighs longingly.
“Okay, man, I can get behind you on the sweet and salty,” says Gareth, “but New Coke?”
“He was crazy for it,” says Harrington, grinning all fond at the back of Sinclair’s head like he’s retelling the story of his toddler’s foray into the world of art and talking Gareth through all the monstrosities in pride of place on the fridge. “Weird kid.”
Eddie is smiling at the side of Harrington’s face and Jesus Christ, Gareth never wants to meet another gay man in his whole life if their taste is Steve fucking Harrington.

Summary
Eddie Munson doesn't mind working at the Family Video Store. It's a nice sense of normalcy (not to mention money) and he gets to see Robin more because of it. However, between working together and sharing the same best friend, he's also been seeing a lot more of Steve Harrington.
He wants nothing more than to enjoy mindless fun with his friends now that everything with Vecna is over, but Eddie's finding it hard to move on from what happened. Even if the strangest thing in his life right now was simply the fact he and Steve Harrington might actually be friends.

Summary
“Why do you keep that thing in your car?” Billy had asked and Steve’s eye pulled away from the forest ledge to look him in the face, a slight quirk in his eyebrow.
“Keep what?” he asked, shifting his weight to his right arm.
“The bat, with those fuckin nails or whatever,” Billy said, briefly gesturing to Steve's car parked further down.
Steve briefly looked surprised, hand coming up to rest on the back of his neck,
“oh,” he said before giving a somewhat halfhearted shrug. “Ya know, just in case,”or: Billy spends 8,000 words trying to figure out why the fuck Steve carries a deadly weapon with him at all times.

Summary
He wakes up to the melody of Kate Bush and the sound of Dustin and Lucas arguing about what sounds like who would win in a fight between Batman and Superman.
It’s like ice water dripping down his spine and Steve jerks up wide eyed and horrified as the kids look over at him in confusion.
(Or: Steve lives the same day over and over again trying to save his friends)

Summary
"Steve 'the Hair' Harrington, a rage-filled barbarian, who knew?" Eddie says, like its a compliment, like Steve has ANY idea what that means.
"Uh, I knew. Obviously." Steve says, wisely, even though he clearly didn't. "Anyway, do you think we could eat a demobat? Or would we turn into some kind of monstrous freak? I'm starving, and Dustin's cheese crackers are not enough to get me on my feet again."
"What difference does it make to me if I'm a human freak or a monster one?" Eddie shrugs, and Steve butts his shoulder up against Eddie. It's meant to be brotherly, maybe friendly, but it's too soft. Felt like something he might have done before slinging an arm around a girl's shoulders.
"You're not a freak." Steve says, and finds he means it.
Eddie's eyes, when he looks at Steve, are curious. "No?"
"No."
