Summary
Set after the Merlin Series 5 Finale "Diamond of the Day".
Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
Cover art by Lao-Pendragon------
For many long years Merlin waited.
For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.
Until one day, suddenly, it did.
When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.
Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

Summary
“Sometimes you do puzzle me,” the prince said with the hint of a smile in his voice. It was almost their usual teasing, and Merlin felt steadier though his stomach still flipped and his heart still beat too quickly.
“We’ll defeat the dorocha. We will. Together.” Merlin made the pronouncement to steady Arthur too, truly believing it. He knew Arthur often did not believe in himself—despite having proven himself many times over, he still doubted his own abilities, and Merlin often decided he would not stand for it.Arthur gives Merlin his mother's sigil. Merlin understands what that means.
Based around the animations by Lauravian on tumblr. Title taken from Awake My Soul by Mumford and Sons.

Summary
It's 2024, and Merlin is still alive. He's been alive all this while, for fifteen hundred years, fifteen sodding centuries.
He's forsaken his destiny. Prophecy be damned.
Waiting for his King's return had left him lonely and broken. He's done with this waiting bullshit.
But perhaps, in a cruel twist of fate, his destiny is not done with him just yet.
In a cruel-er twist of fate, Arthur returns to Merlin, except he doesn't seem to remember Merlin at all.
(Now with extra epilogues!)

A Full Guide To Gardening For Amateurs by aphrsditea
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
05 Sep 2022
Tags
Summary
The first rule in gardening is: choose the right spot. The plants need neutrally rich soil, a sufficient access to clean water and a much-needed supply of sunlight.
The second rule is: Don't be James Potter. Because his hands are cursed - flowers die under his supervision or so he thinks. That brings him to the door of his moody neighbour who doesn't seem to like him very much: Regulus.

Summary
"Penny for your thoughts?" said a voice in the dark.
One minute Remus had been alone in the garden, leaning against the Weasleys' broomstick shed, facing away from the Burrow and that peculiar limbo between Order meeting and wedding preparations. But then he lit up, and the flame briefly illuminated the face of Hermione, now lounging next to him.
Remus allowed himself a deep drag before answering, "Life's but a walking shadow." She'd get it.
Her frown confirmed that she did. "Macbeth sort of mood?" she asked.
Macbeth sort of world, Remus thought.

Summary
From a Hobbitkink prompt:
The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.
The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.
(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).
(Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

Summary
LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant.
1971 - 1995This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!
PLEASE DO NOT COPY TO WATTPAD. SERIOUSLY, WHY??

Steady Feet (I've Stopped Running) by FiresFromOurHearts for KalteHerz
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
28 Mar 2020
Tags
Summary
The most important thing that comes from Charlie’s first years of living without his family is an understanding of himself. It’s about learning to love yourself for who you are and trust that you will be alright.It’s probably the most important lesson he’s ever learnt—that you deserve your own love and the love that others give you.
And, when the time comes for it, it’s what helps him stop running for once and plant his feet in the ground. Loving yourself, trusting yourself, and believing in yourself. So Charlie gathers himself, gathers his confidence, his hope, his stubbornness, and organises a trip to Egypt alongside the rest of his family.
Or that story where Charlie tells his family he's aromantic and asexual and nothing bad happens.

Neil stared at the gun.
The gun stared right back.
Or, in other words, this was supposed to be a short one-shot where Neil was about to kill himself and Todd called him and stopped him, and then I couldn't stop writing it and it turned into this monstrosity that was literally twenty pages long on Google Docs.
I have no regrets.
