Tears of Gold by CloudsDown

Summary
If there was one thing Izuku Midoriya was good at, it was crying. Ever since he was four years old, when he was diagnosed quirkless and everything started going wrong, crying had become his most sharply-honed skill. But crying couldn't make you a hero. And that was all he had ever wanted.
One night, after a particularly painful beating from his childhood friend Kacchan and his lackeys, Izuku found himself once again practicing his only true skill.
And something changed.
Izuku was overjoyed at finding that he did, in fact, have a quirk, even if it was a useless and even slightly uncomfortable one. His joy was short-lived, however. Who could have predicted that the one thing he had always dreamed of and that society had shunned him for lacking would mark the beginning of the end of Izuku's life?- Language:

Summary
Sirius Black knew he was different.
He just hadn’t realised how different… until he stepped onto Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.
-
Sirius knows the weight of the Black name. Family tests, cryptic letters, and hidden dangers remind him that bloodlines demand loyalty — even at the cost of friends.
But at Hogwarts, he’s learning that loyalty can also be chosen. With James, Remus, and Peter, he finds laughter, chaos, and protection — and maybe, just maybe, a family that isn’t written in blood. Before the war begins, before the legends are made, the Marauders discover the cost and joy of choosing who they truly are.
Tags added as we go! I don’t support JK Rowling or her views.

When visiting nobles take their hate for the Wingless too far, it's finally time for Merlin to let Arthur into yet another secret. And maybe the King can finally help him heal from the past.- Language:

Summary
Silence stretched for what felt like hours in the observation room, none of them unfazed enough to make an utterance.
Midnight promptly broke it with an astonished “Holy shit,” as one of the stronger applicants lifted Midoriya off of the torn up street, per Chiyo’s request.
“Teachers of UA,” Nedzu addressed, feeling quite giddy. “Meet Midoriya Izuku, our top scorer in both the practical and written exams.” Nedzu rolled the video back to Izuku standing in the dust, the girl leaning heavily against him as he stared at the Zero-pointer with determination instead of fear.

Summary
As he falls, he lets himself think about it. He lets himself think that if he wakes up, if things go back again, it means that he does have a quirk. It means he really can take a swan dive off a roof and hope for better luck in his next life. It means that all along, he’s been useless and worthless because he hasn’t died yet.
He hits the ground.
And then he opens his eyes.

Summary
Tensions are rising between Camelot and Escetir. Cenred has only been king for a few years but already there are rumors he's conspiring with Sorcerers. If he is Uther will have no choice but to declare war. The worst of it, however, is the assurance that Emrys is waking. Uther fears these two things may be related.
None of this has any bearing on Gaius’s new ward, of course. Uther regrets giving him a job, and Arthur refuses to sack the idiot.
Or
I'm really sad that the writers had so much to work with and did so little that I started writing this instead, where I can poke at plot lines to see what happens. Things like: Can we make magic more understandable than just a plot device?
What if episodes actually effected each other instead of being a monster of the day thing?
Morgause and Cenred were a thing, right?
How did Camelot survive till Merlin showed up?
Is Camelot really that dumb?Series

Summary
Izuku has always had a strange relationship with fear. He realized, after his quirks began to manifest in their entirety, that the daring he'd known in his youth wasn’t bravery, but an ignorance that masked itself as certainty.
He was afraid. All the time. But so was everyone, and that was where things really started to get interesting, wasn’t it?
Or, when an incident at home leaves Midoriya Izuku motherless and homeless, disillusioned with hero society and just wanting an escape from it all, he falls into the hands of All for One. Things only get worse from there.

What if things went a little differently when Merlin saved Arthur?
“Someone quickly! Get him to my chambers,” he heard Gaius shout.
Merlin was starting to get delirious before a strong set of arms hoisted him up carrying him out of the hall. He faded in and out of consciousness hearing snippets of voices, Hurry Antidote Not enough, before he succumbed to the darkness.Or I gave everyone a couple extra brain cells, Uther was nice for 5 seconds before I put him six feet under, and Merlin was a bit OP and a gardener.

Summary
When Merlin barges into the council chamber to declare himself a sorcerer and save Gwen from execution, no one believes him. So he does magic, obviously. Now, he needs to fulfill his gods-be-damned destiny while roughing it in the woods.
What follows is a mess of treason, underground sorcerer societies in the heart of Camelot, DIY home construction, faeries, talking Griphons, and all the joy I think the characters deserved just for existing. And some angst. Just a little bit.
Splits from season 1 episode 3 of the series ("The Mark of Nimweh")
***
Merlin had to admit, being shackled to a wall did help one stay awake. He wondered if it was late enough for him to break out yet; being imprisoned was boring, and his wrists were getting really sore. Watching a pyre be built wasn’t particularly entertaining, unless one enjoyed contemplating their own death in the single most painful way imaginable. Merlin may have had every intention of escaping and none of dying, but the sight still made his stomach go cold.
Merlin slipped out of the shackles and stretched his wrists, wincing, before putting them back on in a clattering panic when he heard footsteps down the hall.

Summary
*******************
“No.” He whispered fiercely. “I know how to release it from within Merlin's body. We will free him before it comes to that. It was just a dream.” It had to just be a dream. That couldn’t be their ending after everything.
Morgana stared him in the eyes, her face hardening. Tears glistened on her cheeks, but she was deadly serious as she shook her head in defeat. “No, Arthur. If there is one thing you need to know about my visions, it’s that my dreams always, always come true.”
********************
As only second in line for the throne, Arthur should have expected to one day be sent off to marry a princess far away. He hadn't expected it. Nor had he expected to be betrayed and imprisoned by an evil sorcerer along the way. Even less did he expect to meet someone there who would change his life forever.
As for Merlin, he never thought there was anything other than this life. This prison. This ruin that was his magic. It only took one person to show him there was something more worth fighting for.
But at what cost?
