    Summary

    Set after the Merlin Series 5 Finale "Diamond of the Day".
    Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
    Cover art by Lao-Pendragon

    ------

    For many long years Merlin waited.

    For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.

    Until one day, suddenly, it did.

    When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.

    Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

    Summary

    “Uh, Prongs?”

    “Uh, What?”

    James peers over his copy of Which Broomstick from the couch to where Sirius sits on the side of his bed, the bedside drawer wide open. Without saying a word, Sirius quirks an eyebrow and lifts a small handful of photographs, fanning them between his fingers.

    “Care to explain?”

    Summary

    Harry and Ginny - what the beginning of their story might look like if things had been a little easier on them growing up. (I.e. Harry grows up with Sirius, Voldemort never returns). Based on Taylor Swift's most famous song...and one Ginny definitely would've vibed with.

    -

    Ginny gasps. “What’s that supposed to mean?!”
    “You love bad ideas. You specialise in bad ideas.”
    “Bad ideas love me.”
    Harry watches her take a rather large gulp, and as if in a trance, the words leave his mouth. “They certainly suit you.”

    Summary

    Ginny suddenly realizes two things, in very quick succession: One, that Harry’s never really looked at her that closely before, and two, that he is absolutely, beyond a shadow of a doubt, doing that. Right now.

    This is the story of how Harry comes to notice her... but more importantly, it's the story of how Ginny comes to notice that he noticed.
