    Summary

    Harry Potter is an ordinary 17-year-old boy, counting down the days before he can leave his horrible relatives when an unexpected letter opens up a whole new, not entirely welcoming world.

    This is a story that tries to rethink and reframe the Harry Potter universe through a more mythical and adult lens. It won't be the canon that you're used to, but instead a mix of mythology, history, and hopefully humor, that features new friends, new relationships, and new ideas.

    Theo threw up his arms and looked between them all wildly.

    “Why exactly are we all sitting around discussing this like the weather? Hagrid can’t hatch a dragon here!”

    Bulstrode sighed and rolled her eyes.

    “He’s right, Hagrid. Bad form to hatch a dragon in a wooden thatched hut. Now that stone shed outside…”

    Summary

    'Be out of the city of Camelot by sunrise, or so help me, you will burn.'

    ------

    When Merlin confesses the truth of his magic to Arthur, he finds himself exiled from Camelot. He intends never to return to Arthur's side, but destiny is not so easily defeated. Can he and Arthur heal the rift that has yawned between them, or will they both suffer the consequences of destiny's displeasure?

    (AKA: Merlin and Arthur get shoved into the magical equivalent of a "getting along" shirt because they're idiots.)

    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

    Merlin and Arthur don't meet in Camelot: they meet near Ealdor. Merlin brings an unconscious Arthur home from battle, but when Arthur wakes, he's forgotten who he is. The closer they become, the more Merlin believes in the world their shared destiny could create.
