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.

Merlin: A Hogwarts History by Mamalazzer

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.'”

Summary
“Do you know how hard it is to see you leave every time?” Naruto’s words rang through his head incessantly, with no signs of it halting any time soon.
An indecipherable yet familiar emotion pricked his heart, but his feet kept moving away, away from Naruto, towards the glowing, setting sun, bathed in a red as deep as his Sharingan’s.
—
“Alright, spit it out. Did you break one of my prized frog possessions or something?”Of all the things to fucking say, of course Naruto would come up with something so utterly stupid and incomprehensible that - Sasuke realised with a jolt - it would unknowingly bring him out of his perpetual downward spiral of thought and tumultuous emotions. It let him finally pull himself together enough to tell Naruto what he’d been building up for so long.
-
A series of chapters depicting Sasuke’s journey towards accepting and forgiving himself. All whilst coming to terms with his feelings for Naruto.

Summary
Kakashi thought it’d be a good idea to train Naruto for his future Hokage duties by assigning him some office work.
Unfortunately, miles away in some sketchy inn, Sasuke was experiencing a very different kind of crisis: he was horny.
And what kind of best friend would Naruto be if he didn’t answer his desperate calls for help?- Language:

Summary
Sasuke blames what's been happening on a variety of things: chakra exhaustion and a possible head injury, another more definite head injury, stupid teenage hormones, Naruto being himself. All he knows is that they really need to stop kissing... He just isn't sure if he wants them to.

Summary
“Does it make you sad?” Sasuke murmured, voice barely louder than the din of the restaurant. “That there’s nothing left of our childhood. How many times can you rebuild the city you lost before it’s no longer the city you love?”
“Endlessly,” said Naruto at once.
(Unsuited to post-war peace, Uzumaki Naruto is waiting for something to happen in his life again. Enter Sasuke.)

Summary
Shinobi learn to be ambidextrous early on, but losing half your arm still throws you off balance. There's phantom pain and phantom feeling and generally just the shock of sometimes forgetting the fact that a part of you is missing.
Sasuke and Naruto have never seemed more complete.

Summary
A week ago, Dean was pulled out of Hell. Now, he’s apparently woken up in 2018, and the angel that a mere twenty-four hours beforehand had threatened to chuck him back into the pit is sleepily pouring himself coffee and wearing Dean’s second-favourite Zeppelin shirt. It all seems like a perfect happy ending, but with Hell’s scars still so fresh, Dean can’t imagine how he could have possibly gotten there.
At the same time, the Dean who went to sleep in the bunker, right next to Cas, wakes up on Bobby’s couch in 2008. He’s instantly bombarded with questions by a Lilith-obsessed brother and a man who’s been dead for years, and must decide between keeping his finally-perfect life intact, and the lives he could save by re-writing history.
Regardless of these choices, both Deans are trapped in the wrong decade, and their only way back lies with a Castiel still very much under Heaven’s thumb – one who might find the future Dean describes difficult to believe.

Summary
“Could you please relax, I know how to drive in a city,” Cas lies, and Dean keeps his eyes closed so he doesn’t have to see Cas get his baby into a fender-bender.
At least until Cas starts singing along to the radio under his breath, and then Dean can’t help but stare at him, late summer sunshine dancing across his face as he dutifully keeps his hands textbook-9-and-3-o’clock positions on the steering wheel and stomps way too friggin hard on the breaks.
Cas tilts his head and gives him a questioning look, so Dean grunts, “Eyes on the road, dumbass,” and tries to only watch Cas surreptitiously through the corner of his eye. An angel of the dickhead-previous-lord, untethered and fully mortal, back from the dead and happily playing chauffeur for him, and all Dean can do is bark at him. Literally there’s no reason for Cas to still be sticking around, but fuck it, here the guy is.
It’s just—retirement, man. Doing his goddamn head in.alternatively, the cas gets cucked fic

Summary
“They say Emrys tamed the great dragon of Camelot and sired the white dragon of Albion-”
“Sired?” Gwaine interrupted “This Emrys fellow is going around siring dragons? How exactly is that happening? Sex with other dragons?” He asked and despite the situation, Merlin flushed. The man in question blinked, looking equally baffled by the question. From the corner of his eye, Merlin could see Arthur pinching the bridge of his nose.
“Uh…I actually don’t know.”
“But you’re Emrys,” Merlin reminded the imposter with a sigh “You don’t remember siring any dragons?”
“I said it was an off day!” The man complained, trying to cross his arms despite being upside down. Merlin took a long breath. Lancelot had already walked away, but that did nothing to hide his howling laughter.
Or
The knights keep hearing various (dramatic) rumors about the great and mighty Emrys. Everyone is such a gossip. Merlin is trying not to have a heart attack. Lancelot is loving life.

Summary
The first time Dean and Cas kiss, it's not really even a kiss at all. It is not, however, the last kiss that they share.
~~~
Dean doesn't think about it. Not about what it means, not about what it makes them, not about how it affects him. This life—that's not how things work. It's just this, these "in the moment" moments that always slip right out of his fingers because he lets them. He doesn't try to hold onto them, and neither does Cas, and maybe they shouldn't.
Cas kisses him like no one else does, like no one else ever has. Dean absolutely does not think about it unless it's happening to him, and then he doesn't have the ability to think at all. What does it say about him that he occasionally kisses his best friend, who's a man? Dean doesn't know, and he doesn't really want to find out, either.

Summary
“Dude, you’ve been staring at me a lot lately, like even enough that Sam noticed. More than usual. So, like, what’s up?” Dean pauses, purses his lips and reconsiders. “What did I do?”
Cas knows that would be a perfect time to confess to Dean what exactly happened and what he was thinking. Maybe, Dean had some insight into the situation or even some kind of comfort to offer. But, the longer that he sat there, he realized that he could not tell Dean absolutely anything. So instead, for the first time, Cas fumbled.
“Um,” Cas mutters and abruptly stands. “Freckles?”
Dean blinked up at him as Cas pivoted and left the room. There was only one remaining option he had and unfortunately, it involved Sam.

Summary
“So, Cas,” Dean calls from the kitchen, his voice becoming muffled as the fridge door opens. “How was Syria?”
“It was tiring. I had to fight many djinn to obtain fruit from the tree of life and bargain with the rest,” Cas admits as beer bottles clink together, sighing before continuing. “I believe I am technically married to their queen now.”
A beat after the words leave Cas’ mouth, there is a crash and a loud curse. Sam and Cas’ heads snaps up in surprise at the sound of what was undoubtedly Dean dropping the beers. There's a crunch of glass and Cas stared at Sam with wide, confused eyes.
“Oh no,” Sam grumbles, snapping his laptop shut and standing. “Don't even look at me; that's all you, buddy. Congratulations, by the way. Now, go clean up the mess.”

Summary
Some time between Dean bleeding out on a makeshift hook in a barn in Ohio and Sam roasting marshmallows on his funeral pyre, Dean was brought back to life. By Castiel. Again. Dean agreed to it if only to give Jack time to work out the glitches up top. So, now Dean’s back in the land of the living and things are ... actually good, for once.
Or, as good as they can be when demons are attacking Earth, Dean’s failing to get over why he died in the first place, and Cas is suddenly, inexplicably taking every opportunity to casually tell Dean that he loves him.
