    Summary

    A hand grasped his arm, sending a brief thrill down Merlin's nerves as he was forced around to face the person behind him. Armour gleamed in the firelight: supple chainmail glinted, and the solid iron of a pauldron curved lovingly over one broad shoulder. The length of a sword blade separated them. The point hovered, steady and sure, over Merlin's heart, braced to run him through, but he did not care about any of that. He was too busy drinking in the sight of the man before him.

    He could never forget him, no matter how many centuries had passed.

    'Arthur?'


    When Merlin ultimately fails in his destiny, the fading remnants of magic that linger in the modern world fling him not just back in time, but sideways as well. He ends up in a Camelot where all his friends are alive, well and aware of his magic.

    He ends up in a Camelot where his alternate self died almost a year ago.

    Can he, Arthur and their friends still forge the golden age he was once promised, or will grief and suspicion tear them apart?

    Summary

    With King Uther’s health rapidly deteriorating, Arthur Pendragon must do what all kings before him have done: go on a quest to prove himself the next worthy leader of Camelot. But when his quest leads him to a mysterious tower with a rumored dark past, Arthur begins to question the things he’s been told.

    There are stories about what lurks in the tower outside of Gorra. Some say it is the wellspring of evil itself; the beating heart of all magic. Others claim to have glimpsed a twisted creature through its single dirty window. They say whatever lives there is cursed—trapped forever in a labyrinth of rooms, and if you go in, you don’t come out. Nobody ever comes out.

    Arthur is sure they’re all old wives’ tales. The building is clearly abandoned, after all. But as Arthur delves further into the tower’s past, nothing is quite as it seems. Is this place truly home to a monster, or is there something else afoot? And who is the mysterious man who wanders its halls?

    Inspired by art by count-pudding . A merthur-shaped mystery for BBC Merlin Reverse Big Bang.

    Summary

    “If I gave Jackie a day of getting to have sex with me whenever she wants as a thank you for tidying the living room, I think she’d divorce me,” Hayden says.

    “Nah, man, she’d kill you,” J. J. says, which is probably true.

    Shane shrugs. “That sounds like a straight people problem.”

    Hayden is truly glad that the times of Shane torturing himself by being in the closet are over. But. Well. This conversation is kind of making him miss those days.

    ---

    Finally, after everything, Shane is a happily married man. Incredibly happily married. It only becomes a problem once he thinks it qualifies him to dispense relationship advice.

    Or, five times Shane gives relationship advice his friends disagree with, and one time he doesn’t.
