Summary
For the first month, they kept saying he’d wake up ‘any day now’. That everything looked good, and it was likely just the exhaustion from years of agent work that was keeping him asleep. That this might actually be good for him in the long run.
Lucy Carlyle finds her way home in a world where nothing seems right anymore. How do you find your way back to normal when everything has changed? What do you do when the one thing you thought you’d always have is just… gone?

Summary
When Merlin uncovers a betrayal at the heart of Camelot, the jester-servant the court thinks they know vanishes—and Emrys steps into his place. On the day a pyre is built for a midwife, one choice pits mercy against a king’s law and cracks open every bond: mentor and ward, knight and oath, friend and crown. As prophecy presses in, love and loyalty are forced to live without trust. This is a tale of a kingdom remade by refusals, and a guardian who saves it—even if he must do so from the shadows.

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.

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
“A deal. You pretend to be my boyfriend for a few weeks, show up at my house, escort me to social functions and such. Your overall person, manner and opinions should be enough to truly scandalise my parents. You will only need to be yourself, only less... charming.”
Charles gave him a bright grin. “You think I’m charming?”
Edwin ignored him. “And I will act all smitten with you. When they offer you the money to break up with me – and rest assured, throwing money at problems is their only way of handling anything – you will take it. I shall be horribly heartbroken to make them feel guilty and any subsequent romantic partner who is a bit more... mellow than you will be quite welcome.”
Charles stared at him, unsure of how he could’ve ever thought of Edwin Payne as innocent. “Damn... you are a conniving little bastard, aren’t you?”-
Charles Rowland's first impression of Edwin Payne can be summerized as privileged, rich and aloof – also incredibly pretty, but that’s besides the point. However, when Edwin presents him with a scheme to piss off his conservative parents and get some money out of them in the process, Charles can’t resist the siren call of causing mayham for some Tories.

Summary
Case number: Actually, Crystal has no clue how many cases the boys have solved over the years. The case: apparently one only she can help with. Not Charles. Emphatically not Charles. The mystery: Why Edwin Payne is suddenly attracting romantic advances that he really, really, really wants to stop. (A side note: Crystal is pretty sure it’s not an ancient Celtic curse giving him game but good luck telling him that.)

a dream is a wish your heart makes (whatever you wish for, you keep) by OceanSpray5

Summary
Kaz's cold eyes stared directly back at his mentor. "I cooperated when I showed up."
Per Haskell huffed and walked off in irritation. Kaz would feel bad, but he had already warned Per Haskell this was not what he wanted. Marriage was not a commitment he could make easily, and for him to secure his throne, Kaz would need to be even more careful.
Kaz found his eyes drifting to the door, longing for escape. He was alright with large crowds but they still left him uncomfortable and having to meet with so many people standing had his leg killing him. The ball would be ongoing for ages yet and Kaz longed to walk out the double doors at the end of the room and leave all this nonsense behind. It was perhaps this reason that, as he watched the doorway at the top of the winged staircase, Kaz saw someone new enter the ballroom.
Kaz had been so surprised by the new arrival that he almost missed Jesper sidling up to him.
"You could pretend, you know. It would at least help your reputation."
"I cannot waste my time pretending with pleasantries for every person in this ballroom, Jesper. It's a waste of time." He didn't look away from the woman on the staircase.

Summary
It was a truth universally acknowledged that an angel in possession of no memory must be in want of a wife.
No, that was the wrong book. The wrong line. Aziraphale frowned.
“What,” the gentleman before him asked, “and I mean what, are you doing here?”
-----------------
Or, two years after things fall apart, Aziraphale shows up at Crowley's doorstep without his memories. The easy part is getting it back, the hard part is getting them back together.
