    Summary

    “You can only be worth something if you’re useful. People forgive you if you help enough. But if you stop being useful—what’s left?”

    Jason shut the book like it might shatter. His heart slammed against his ribs.

    For years—years—he’d thought Tim Drake had slid into his role with ease. The perfect little replacement, the better Robin, the golden boy who stole his family and wore it like armor. Jason had hated him for it. Resented him. Told himself Tim had never struggled the way he had.

    OR:

    Each BatFam member connecting with Tim, learning WHY he is the way he is. Steph/Cass, Jason, Damian, Dick, Duke, and Bruce, with introspection from Alfred

    Summary

    Jason's attack on Titans Tower goes a little differently than expected. When Jason wakes up, the last thing he can remember is being fifteen and having breakfast with Bruce. So why is this strange kid telling him he's actually someone named the Red Hood? Why does the kid look eerily like Bruce? And why does he have bruises around his neck?

    Or: Jason gets amnesia. With Bruce and Dick away on an off-world mission, it falls to Tim to deal with the aftermath.

    Summary

    When Tim first proposes his plan, Jason calls him batshit insane.

    "Why?" Tim asks stubbornly. “It’ll be a win-win situation – I get a new life without some guardian tying me down, and you get a new life where you can eat food every day and live in a big house. You’ll probably have to go to school, but that’s the only downside I can think of. That, and pretending to be me, of course."

    *

    In the wake of Jack and Janet Drake's untimely death, Bruce sets out to search for their missing son, determined to adopt him. After a long, arduous search, he finally brings home a new addition to his family.

    He fails to realise that the new kid living in Wayne Manor is not Tim Drake.

    Summary

    Tim always knew it was a possibility that he might die early. He’s not exactly made his peace with it, but he’s willing to adapt, especially if this is what it takes to help Jason get over his weird vendetta and reunite the Wayne family again. It's called taking one for the team.

    Now all Tim needs to do is figure out how to best fake his own death.

    Summary

    Tim Drake has never really been a child. It’s a category he aged out of long before anyone noticed.

     

    So when the Silencer—a new villain—begins targeting young boys, Tim barely spares it a thought. He’s not a child

    Summary

    “You-” Ygraine said, stepping up to point a finger in Uther’s face. “You are a liar and a murderer. The fact you think someone as sweet and caring as Vivienne is destined to marry you is a tragedy in itself, but if you expect me to hand over my brother’s rightful claim to Camelot’s throne-”

    My claim to Camelot’s throne,” Uther threw back, face growing more red as Arthur looked between his parents in utter bewilderment. Merlin didn’t blame him. He had envisioned Uther and Ygraine’s love story to be more… well, less based in war and battles.

    Ygraine’s eyes narrowed as she grabbed a goblet of wine and threw it in Uther’s face. A few of the guards shifted, but Uther only raised a hand to pause them, spitting out the wine with furious eyes.

    “You,” Ygraine said coldly. “Are unworthy to sit upon a stool, let alone a throne.”

    From a few feet away, Balinor scoffed as he sipped from his own goblet. “I kind of like having her as a hostage, Uther. She livens up the place.”

    Or

    In a desperate attempt to save Arthur at Camlann, Merlin tries to reverse time. It works perhaps a tad too well.

    Summary

    "I don't think you understand," Merlin said as he started walking backwards, brows wrinkled in confusion. "I can rip your throat out with my teeth and drink your blood. Does that not bother you?" He asked. Arthur finally glanced up from the papers in his hand to look at him, pausing his steps altogether. Merlin waited.

    "...Merlin, you fell over trying to put boots on." He said. Merlin grimaced, looking down at his feet.

    "I hadn't realized you were supposed to wear them all the time." He muttered, uncertain what this had to do with the fact he could murder everyone within a ten mile radius. Arthur sighed. "And those are bold words from someone who can't dress himself!" He added indignantly. Another sigh. Humans did that a lot as it turned out.

    "Merlin, that's your job."

    "And I've taught you several times. It isn't that hard."

    "No, I - " Arthur started and closed his eyes. "I don't have time for this."

    Or

    After living with demons for sixteen years, Merlin decides to explore his human side by venturing to Camelot. Also, he has a destiny to unite his species and bring magic back into Camelot, but he's not too worried about that.

    Summary

    "I..." Merlin began, trailing off. Arthur waited. "I, um... You see..." He tried again. Arthur felt another stab of resentment rise as his shoulders seemed to slump in resignation. What had Gwaine done to him? He was about to suggest Merlin speak to him alone when Gwaine's expression went completely blank before turning to look at the prince.

    "Ah," He winced and offered a dazzling smile "Hello, your majesty. You caught us at a bad time."

    "Have I?" Arthur asked coolly. Merlin blinked - looking Gwaine over warily.

    "Yes," The knight continued and gestured between himself and Merlin. "We were just about to have some amazing sex. Right in that alcove actually," He said, nodding a bit towards a nook in the wall behind Arthur. "So, if this isn't anything urgent..." He trailed off. Arthur stared.

    He... He had misheard, right? Definitely. For a moment he thought Gwaine had said... No. Absolutely not.

    Or

    Gwaine learns that Merlin has magic. Arthur learns that Gwaine is hopelessly in love with Merlin.

    Summary

    “Mordred, right?” Arthur asked, kneeling in front of him. The boy nodded, eyes wide as he looked at Arthur as if he might bolt at any moment. “What are you doing back in Camelot? My father won’t like seeing you again.”

    “He’s hurt.” Mordred whispered and Arthur glanced over at where Merlin was unconscious. A sudden realization dawned on him.

    “You healed him,” He said slowly “With magic.”

    Mordred nodded. Arthur’s mind raced – thinking of all Merlin had survived in his encounters with bandits and sorcerers. Before he could ask if Mordred had been responsible for all of it, there was a groan as Merlin shifted, eyes flickering open.

    “Arth – you!” He choked, sitting up quickly to grab Arthur’s arm as if he could yank the prince away. Mordred grinned.

    “You’re awake!” He beamed and launched forward to hug him. Arthur watched as Merlin stiffened at the action – eyes widening before desperately trying to push him away.

    “Arthur. Arthur, get him off of me-”

    Or

    After sneaking Mordred out of Camelot, he occasionally returns to make sure Merlin is doing okay. Arthur isn’t sure why this child is so concerned about the wellbeing of his servant… Nor Merlin's vehement attempts to ignore it.

    Summary

    The Dorocha. They are the voices of the dead, my child. And, like the dead, they are numberless.

     

     

    Or

    A different take of the dorocha. Instead of them being faceless screams that attack you, they are actually figures of the dead. Merlin doesn't quite realize how much death affected him until him and the knights go to close the veil.

    Summary

    In the middle of some quest or another, Merlin, Arthur and the knights find themselves stuck in the middle of a shrine being told that, if they wish to proceed unharmed, they need only speak their true names and titles. Straight-forward enough, right?

    Wrong. Merlin really hates the Old Religion sometimes.

    Summary

    Uther catches Merlin using magic to do laundry, and when Arthur insists that shouldn't be grounds for execution, Uther assumes his son must be under an enchantment.
    And gay love sure is an enchantment, but... uh.... not this time buddy.

    Anyway, the king tortures Merlin to break the enchantment, and Merlin is just kicking his feet and giggling the whole time because "oh my god he LIKES me"

    Summary

    Tim Drake time traveled his way out of the Batfamily. This is the aftermath of that decision.

    I’m setting the pieces in chronological order but reading them in the order I posted them is ok too

    [Series previously known as ‘For A Different Twist In The Storyline’ but then I came up with a title I liked more.]
