    Summary

    When a deeply-closeted Arthur Pendragon finally earns a spot in Camelot's first XI, he's dead set on breaking records, not one of sport's last taboos. But life, like football, is a funny old game, and sometimes the only way up is out. Especially once he realises he's arse over tit for the new physio.

    A queer Arthurian tale of courage, love, and football.

    Summary

    “I am your Arthur, am I not?” Arthur pleaded frantically, not above begging anymore. As prince, as king, there was not a day when people didn't remind him that he was Camelot's. But as a man? As Arthur?

    He was always and forever Merlin's.

    “Show me that my choices matter, Merlin. Show me that they are worth anything to you.”

    Π∆

    Diamond of the day fix-it, with a secret that only Arthur Pendragon knows.

    Summary

    We all know how a small twist of fate can redesign the way a story is supposed to go. How one small act can reform reality into something almost unrecogniseable.

    So what would happen, if through one of these miniscule changes, Merlin never becomes Arthur's manservant? What if these two sides of the same coin, oblivious idiots, are never forced into close proximity to one another? What if, bound by fate, they live parallel lives within the walls of camelot

    Will destiny rewrite itself? Or force itself upon us?

    Or

    Arthur falls in love with the physician's apprentice without being made aware of that fact himself. Merlin is just trying to prove the stupid dragon wrong. Gwen was not prepared for any of this, and Morgana is happy to cause chaos. Leon technically did sign up for this, but in his defense, he didn't read the fine print. Gaius is desperately clinging on to the last remains of sanity in Camelot.

    Oh, and did I mention that there's a 'mysterious' sorcerer offering Uther unwanted advice? Because that happens too.

    Summary

    “Well, um, I think it’s still edible,” Spike said, assessing the dark and mottled remains of what used to be food. “Potentially. Teenagers will eat anything right?”

    Dawn scrunched up her entire face in disgust. “I’m not eating that.”

    Spike glanced between the casserole and Dawn. “Right then. What’s your favorite kind of pizza?”

     

    OR: Five times Spike supports Dawn and the one time he tells her why.
