Summary
“You wanted to talk.”
“I don’t talk.”
“Oh, right. You interrogate. What questions do you have, Officer?”
“I don’t trust you.”
He just shrugged. Too nonchalant, he noted. “I know.”
“It bothers you,” he stated because it did.
A complicated look passed over Josten’s face before he wiped it dangerously clean. “Yes. But you have every right to.”
That made Andrew want to slit his throat right then and there.
Or Andrew forgets some integral memories and ruminates on the notion of growth

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
“Three more weeks, you should be fine,” Gwen told him, looking all regal and stunning with her Queen’s crown and Arthur’s
stolenborrowed sceptre. Merlin did up the final lace at her back and stared at her miserably in the mirror.“Do let me know if you want to take over nappy-changing duties, then.”
-In which Arthur is cursed to live as a two-year-old brat and somehow retains both his über-prattishness as well as his penchant for running around after Merlin.

Summary
After spending the better part of a thousand years as a professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Merlin had given up hope that he would ever see Arthur again. Then Christmas 1993 happened and Sybil Trelawney wheezed out a prophecy about the return of the Once and Future King.
As ecstatic as Merlin is about the news, he wishes it wasn't because they were slowly approaching the end of all times, with magic itself beginning to fade from the land. Merlin also wishes Sybil had warned him how much more of a brat Arthur would be as a modern teenager, especially because this incarnation of him - terrifyingly - seems to have magic, too.
Somewhere in the Forbidden Forest, Merlin can hear Kilgharrah laughing at him.
Featuring nosy portraits with too much time on their hands, reincarnated knights with a penchant for Quidditch and such a supreme amount of Pendragon prattishness that it is practically a character on its own.

Summary
The toddler began to cry, and then he started to cough from trying to cry too hard, snot dripping down his face. Another adult came hurrying over to help him to his feet before they went inside to head, presumably, to the nurse’s office.
Loud, chaotic, dirty. Everything that went against Al-Haitham’s standards.
“Working here as what?” Kaveh blinked. “Like admin or something? That’s probably quiet and far enough from kids for you. Though—”
“No,” interrupted Al-Haitham. “I don’t.”
After getting fired from a prestigious architecture firm, Kaveh moves back to his hometown to raise his five-year-old brother only to find that an old college "acquaintance" is his little brother's kindergarten teacher.

Summary
I've seen a lot of fics where Naruto and Sasuke cheat on their wives. This is fine, it's just not something I can buy into.
Here is my version of their respective divorces. It is messy. It is sad, as most divorces are. Nobody is the bad guy here. Everyone loses this battle; but, in the end, everyone wins the war.
"Naruto’s tears began to fall again, wetting the bandages on his hand and darkening the hue of the cheap, creamy material.
'And, Naruto,' Sasuke’s cool demeanor slipped, his voice cracking on the tail-end of Naruto’s name. 'When I leave you again, I will love you.'”
