    Summary

    Arthur has known about Merlin's magic for years, and kept that knowledge a secret even from Merlin. But Merlin is reckless, and Arthur cannot bear the thought of Uther discovering his friend's magic, so he launches a desperate gambit to convince Uther to repeal the Ban.

    He discovers for himself how cruel Uther can be.

    Summary

    The dragon leaned forward. "Your destiny is to protect Uther Pendragon's heir, the one who will be the Once and Future King and unite all of Albion."

    Merlin blinked. "But . . . Uther doesn't have an heir."

    . . .

    In many Arthurian texts, Arthur is raised as a peasant by Sir Ector with no knowledge of his royal lineage. Let's bring that back, shall we?

    Summary

    Arthur was lucky to be alive. Ever since he was a child, he had been prepared to drown. He had learnt the axe, faced the rope head on, and had feared the pyre. Yet, his father never threw him to the executioner. He punished him in other ways, forced him to watch his people be beheaded, burnt, suffocated, all while threatening his death at every turn.

    He had magic, and he was lucky to be alive.

    Except, things were changing. A fire, secrets, Morgana. He didn’t know anything, he couldn’t learn, and yet…

    And yet his magic pushed itself forward, and it craved. More than knowing spells, it wanted Merlin, it pulsed in his direction.

    The very life Arthur was just managing to hold together, threatened to pull itself apart. How could he, a man with magic, survive as Uther’s son?

    Summary

    “Where did you learn to do that?” Gwaine asked, following Merlin up the bank.
     
    “This is how normal people fish,” Merlin replied dryly. “Not trying to stab them with swords.”

    “This is a knife,” Gwaine retorted, sounding every bit as sulky as he felt.

    “Still, you didn’t catch a fish.”

     
    ------------------------------------------------------

    Gwaine saves a young Merlin from a beating and ends up with a new little brother to take care of on his travels.

    Or, what would Merlin be like if he had Gwaine influencing him over his formative years?

    Summary

    In the tenth year of the reign of King Viserys I, a strange malady befell both his queen and his daughter. Queen Aemma Arryn was the first to sicken, seized by a fever so violent that her ladies feared she would be lost before dawn. Before a day had passed the princess was stricken by the very same heat.

    For three days and three nights the court was cloaked in terror. The king kept vigil beside his wife and child in turn, unwilling to leave either chamber for long, while the maesters whispered of humors and contagion but found no sure cure. Prayers were spoken at every hour, and more than one lord muttered that House Targaryen’s line stood on the edge of ruin.

    Yet as suddenly as it had come upon them, the fever broke. On the morning of the fourth day, Queen Aemma called for water, and not long after Princess Rhaenyra asked for food. Both rose from their beds as if nothing at all had passed between life and death, pale but unharmed, as though the sickness had been no more than a shadow fleeting across their shared blood.

    Summary

    Talking over Bruce's attempts to desperately stop the unwanted laughter, Dick said, "I don't really understand what my soulmark means. It doesn't have any hints about their identity, so I just memorized the words instead."

    Bruce fought for control and took a deep, sobering breath. “Whoever your soulmate is, I can’t decide whether I hate them already or need you to meet them.”

    “Need me to meet them?”

    Bruce chuckled—he chuckled—and said, “Dick. I have a feeling the two of you are going to be a particularly troublesome pair of best friends.”

    "He knew who Tim was, this wasn't some random attack, this was targeted and maybe his parents were home, or maybe, a small part of Tim dreams, Bruce will hear. He's a mile away. That's it. A mile"

    Summary

    All my Talon!Dick Grayson works in one place.

    -'Abduction' is the prequel that sets the stage, the origin for our tragic boi.

    -'Saving Grace' is the oneshot based on a WIP that follows 'Abduction'. Freed from the Court, Dick makes a slightly different decision that changes the way that the Batfam learns Dick is still alive.

    -'Saving Grace: Jason's Eyes' is what it says on the tin- a companion to 'Saving Grace', told in Jason's perspective.

    -'Unnamed WIP' is the fic that started it all, the multi-chapter fic where Talon!Dick Grayson has brought down the Court and is now trying to piece together who he had once been.

    Summary

    Red Hood knew Dick's identity. He knew the identities of all the bats, actually. Bruce was pissed and Tim was determined to solve this mystery like usual.

    Dick can't be bothered to care all that much, seeing as the crime lord wasn't using that information for anything other than mocking them.

    He seems to keep running into the masked man and, weirdly enough, he doesn't seem to hate Dick.

    Well, he's getting mixed signals, but he's pretty sure he isn't going to kill him.

     

    Jason didn't know why Dick kept showing up in Crime Alley to see Red Hood. He hates him and Bruce and Tim (part of him knows he's lying about that).

    He just wants the man to leave him alone (even if he feels more like himself when he's around).

    It would be easier to say that if Dick didn't look two seconds away from having a breakdown (Jason isn't far behind him).

    Summary

    Jason's wisdom teeth grew back after the Lazarus Pit. Annoying, but fixable with a quick trip to the oral surgeon.
    Running into Bruce and Tim at said oral surgeon's office? Less fixable.
    Jason is not mentally prepared for this confrontation. Not now. Not when he tortured the replacement only two months ago. Not when Batman chose Joker instead of him.
    Not when they see him in the waiting room and look at him like he's a bomb waiting to explode.

    But Jason's a lot more honest when he's high.
    And Bruce decides he's taking the very-hostile-but-also-very-high Jason back home with him and a very sad-because-he's-confused-by-the-drugs Tim.
    What follows is post-anesthesia chaos, involuntary truth-telling

    Summary

    Jason is just trying to survive on the streets of Gotham--made slightly more difficult by the fact that some gang has apparently decided to make him their most wanted person. Until he befriends a kid-who-definitely-isn't-Robin, who promises to help him reunite with his dad. And, well, Jason's not in the habit of accepting favors. But maybe it would be worth it, just this once.

    Featuring ghosts or zombies or hallucinations, misunderstandings (both unintentional and entirely intentional), lots of identity shenanigans, and some discussion of dads.
