Summary
Amelia had been a court sorceress, and friend, of Uther Pendragon before the Purge. He'd laughed, when she claimed to be from the future, but after Ygraine's death, and her disappearance, he stopped giving it much thought, as he gave himself over to his grief.
Twenty two years later, Uther finds himself shocked when the pieces begin to fall together - Merlin, his son's insolent manservant is a woman - how on earth had he missed that? - and Arthur intends to keep the baby and marry the peasant. Uther finds himself full of righteous fury, until he meets the infant. With Arthur's blonde hair, and Merlin's unmistakable blue eyes, there's only one conclusion, Amelia'd been telling the truth - although not all of it - when she'd claimed to be from his future. His granddaughter.
Uther turns everything on its head for her - to keep a promise he'd once made to her. But that's only the beginning.
OR
Being the daughter of the Once and Future King isn't easy. Neither is being the Druid Lord - or Lady, as it turns out - Emrys' daughter. Trouble double when you're both.

Summary
The first time they meet, he pulls her from the burning truck just before it explodes with her fiancé still inside.
The last time he saw her she had defeat on her face, and tears in her eyes as she packed herself and her brothers back up and out of his life.
Now, almost a decade later, she's grinning at him and pushing her way back in almost like she never left.When Gibbs saved Rose Whitlock's life he had no idea she was a hunter, or any of the chaos that would bring into his bleak life in the wake of his latest divorce. She forces her way into his heart, bringing young Sam and Dean Winchester with her. Then just as suddenly as she entered, she's gone again taking the boys with her.
8 years go before she reappears as if nothing ever happened. They can only dance around the past for so long before it starts to catch back up to them.

Summary
When Witch Weekly stirs up trouble with its Valentine’s special—Ship It or Skip It—Hogwarts becomes a hotbed of gossip, and no one is more inconvenienced than Headmaster Snape and Arithmancy Professor Hermione Granger. Forced to endure the fallout of the frivolous article, and Hermione's discovery that perhaps the pairing wasn't entirely off the mark, they must navigate the absurdity of public speculation, meddlesome colleagues, overly invested students, and the undeniable tension the article dredges up.

Summary
"Come off it Gin," George chided. "He's worse off than me. There's nothing we've all done that he hasn't."
Snape's eyes narrowed. "Never have I ever," he started, straightening as if he were lecturing a class, "been in Gryffindor house. Nor have I been a member of an underground student club called Dumbledore's Army, nor have I taken a class from a best selling fraud."
"I stand thoroughly corrected," George raised his glass in a toast to the Professor. "Cheers! And you just took three turns in a row so you're officially playing."
