Summary
After Arthur tells Merlin that he's planning to ask for Gwen's hand in marriage, Merlin... kinda falls apart. The stress of hiding his magic, hiding his identity as Emrys, dealing with the duties of a servant and a physician's apprentice, as well as struggling under thee weight of his failures (Morgana, Mordred, Kilgharrah, Arthur, there's so much) has gotten to him. So Merlin decides to leave Camelot for a bit, to either put himself back together or find himself.
Enter Gwaine.
The dashing knight who has been loyal towards Merlin and the Crown (but mostly Merlin), sees an opportunity to find his way into Merlin's heart where Arthur is making an opening. Merlin's just happy to have a friend to talk to, even if he's still keeping secrets.
Lucky for both of them, their journey out of Camelot and throughout Albion provides them the chance to understand each other and their roles in fate's play. And when their bond is put to the test, the best of fate's results becomes reality.

Summary
"I kill so others don't have to," Bruce states firmly and clearly. This entire situation didn't seem like it could get any more bizarre, what with Bruce sitting in the dark and polishing guns, but somehow it just has, "While you are here you will not kill."
Jason's throat is scratchy and dry with terror, but the insatiable feeling of being talked over and disregarded is a fresh wound. He can't back down from this if he tried, "I've killed. I still kill. Who the fuck do you think you are to stop me?"
Bruce gently sets down his gun, and picks up the blade beside him with practised ease. Jason's blood runs cold when the man wearing his father's face says, "You will die by my hand if you try."
(Jason meets a version of Bruce who has manifested his fears very differently.)

Summary
Jason was not the biggest fan of Tim, but it was clear that he didn’t hate him anymore. And if he didn’t hate him anymore, Tim could get him to love him. Right?
By his own carefully determined calculations, Tim could achieve this goal in 90 days or less. Day one started tomorrow morning with a surprise breakfast donut and an invitation to go watch the birds.
Or that time Tim was determined to be brothers and Jason was determined to be resistant and confused.

Summary
To say Arthur was having a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day was putting it lightly. It started out with the pixie in the pantry, which sounded like one of Gwaine’s inane drinking songs but was in actuality an unmitigated disaster of flour, chaos, flying apples, and wasted pastries…
…
An unfortunate incident with a pixie leads to Arthur and Merlin swapping bodies for a day. When Merlin’s closely guarded secrets surface in the process, it’s up to Arthur to figure out how to proceed. Trust, love, protection, they’re all forms of the same thing, aren’t they? And what of secrets, burdens, and all the lies we keep to ourselves? This is a story about what would happen if we chose to pull off the veil and step, together, into the light.

Summary
It was Merlin, absolutely it was, incontrovertibly, Arthur’s eyes and his instincts and his heart all insisted on it, but it was Merlin as Arthur hadn’t seen him, as he hadn’t looked, for years. Ten, no, maybe fifteen years.
“Merlin…” he breathed, “oh, gods Merlin. What have you done?”
When Merlin uses his magic to send Arthur away from a hopeless fight, Arthur finds himself somewhere utterly familiar and completely unexpected. And, as he soon finds, he's not there alone.
