    Summary

    “Where did you learn to do that?” Gwaine asked, following Merlin up the bank.
     
    “This is how normal people fish,” Merlin replied dryly. “Not trying to stab them with swords.”

    “This is a knife,” Gwaine retorted, sounding every bit as sulky as he felt.

    “Still, you didn’t catch a fish.”

     
    ------------------------------------------------------

    Gwaine saves a young Merlin from a beating and ends up with a new little brother to take care of on his travels.

    Or, what would Merlin be like if he had Gwaine influencing him over his formative years?

    Summary

    (Yes, I changed my username. It’s still me!)

    Essentially a combination rewrite and sequel to my earlier work, Siren Song!

    Merlin and Arthur set out on a voyage to hunt down a siren that has been terrorizing a neighboring kingdom. They discover that they are the only ones unaffected by the siren’s song, causing a medley of chaos, self doubt, and confusion; all things must come to light in the end.

    Warning: excessive amounts of banter

    Summary

     

    Michael Wright believed himself to be a good person. He paid his taxes, was polite to his neighbors, friendly at the workplace, and made regular donations to charities he became involved within his line of work. He believed himself reasonably aware of good and bad characters, which is why he had a feeling Vernon Dursley was of the latter sort and was not very enthused about the dinner invitation.

    Harry didn’t like it when people came to visit. Uncle Vernon was always more mean, Aunt Petunia kept shrieking about everything being perfect so they could impress whoever’s visiting, and he always got locked in his cupboard early.

    An ordinary dinner might be all that's needed to intertwine two not-so-ordinary destinies into one.

    Summary

    As usual, Merlin has utterly failed in keeping a low profile by inadvertently getting himself dragged into a mess of a situation that appears to have something to do with a seemingly unkillable snake man, a toad woman, an order of phoenixes, and a boy named Harry Potter who, he quickly finds, is equally bemused by his current predicament. When he discovers how lost the boy is, he resolves to help him and his friends get rid of this dark lord--as well as their malignant (and worse, ineffectual) new teacher.
