    “Well,” said Nina, making an effort to sound cheery, knocking her mug into Wylan’s in salute. “Off he goes to Hellgate! He clearly hated listening to you lay out everything he’d ever done wrong under an oath to Ghezen. His expression was almost as tragic as his hairline--”
    Wylan smiled weakly-- and then had it immediately wiped off his face by Kaz’s response.
    “Except he didn't,” said Kaz.
    Everyone’s heads turned.
    “What d’you mean?” frowned Jesper. Wylan stared warily down the table--
    “Wylan didn’t lay out everything his father had ever done wrong.”
    --

    Summary

    Kaz is prepared to bribe the owners of the other gambling halls not to admit him—he’s prepared to send some of the younger Dregs to beat Jesper to a mild pulp every time he tries to enter the Barrel, if necessary—but he hopes it won’t come to that. If you could beat an addiction out of someone, Jesper would have been cured years ago.

    “What, then? Spit it out.”

    The other man pauses at the window, staring out at the rain, and swallows before finally saying, “Wylan asked me to marry him.”

    Summary

    “Oh, it’s you.”

    The other girl clearly isn’t as comforted by her discovery as Cosette. “I can explain.”

    After three years avoiding the empty brownstone, Cosette is forced to return for winter break and discovers an unexpected guest in the kitchen.

    Summary

    “Your aunt sent him to spy on us,” Courfeyrac concludes.

    “Why? To what end?”

    “Uncovering scandal, I’m sure,” sighs Courfeyrac.

    “I’m probably the least scandalous person in this library.”

    “Your aunt seems easily enough scandalized. Have you considered exposing your kneecaps? Dancing with the same lady three times in one night with no intent to marry? Adopting a cat?”

    A gasp. “Courfeyrac, I know what we need to do.”

     A Courfius fake-dating AU. Written for Same-Prompt Fic Challenge 2022.

    Summary

    “Merlin. Even if you’re … even if you’re right, it doesn’t matter. It’s too late. He’s going to kill me. And I—listen to me, you idiot. I don’t want you to watch. And I don’t want you to be next.”

    or

    After confronting Morgause's vision of his mother, Arthur rides for Camelot, intending to make his father pay for his hypocrisy. He falls short of luck, for the King has fallen back on the counsel of his faithful Witchfinder, Aredian, who is convinced that Arthur is not Arthur, the crown prince, but a changeling, bound to Morgause's will and let loose upon Camelot to usurp Uther of his crown.

    As Arthur is dragged away to the dungeons, sentenced to a death by fire, Merlin must race against time to change the course of events which seem to spell out Arthur's demise. Time is scarce, however, and for all intents and purposes, it might be too late already.
