Summary
Twenty-one years of war between King Uther and the dragonlord Balinor have brought nothing but bloodshed to Camelot. But there is hope: A prophecy speaks of The Great Dragon, a mighty warrior destined to bring peace to the lands.
Merlin isn’t so sure he is up to fulfilling such a great destiny, though he wants nothing more than to see this conflict end. When Merlin manages to capture Arthur Pendragon, heir of the enemy, he sees a chance to seek reconciliation between the two sides. But between protecting a prejudiced Arthur, standing up to Balinor and struggling with his own identity as prophesied saviour, Merlin soon fears he might have taken on an insurmountable task. Meanwhile, prisoner of war Arthur simply can’t seem to fathom the young dragonlord out and remains skeptical about his good intentions.
The divide between the two sides runs deep, but destiny might yet find a way to make friends out of enemies…

Summary
In a world where Uther went mad right after Ygraine's death, Lord Chancellor Agravaine has been reigning Camelot from the shadows for nearly two decades. Arthur, who has little influence at court, is tired of being watched, controlled and manipulated by his uncle. Quick to anger and weighed down by a feeling of profound powerlessness, he shirks his princely duties, torments his servants and acts like a prat. That is, until the arrival of an insolent country boy sets into motion a series of events that might very well turn out to be the key to freeing Camelot from Agravaine's control...

Summary
After a plague ravages Albion, an orphaned Merlin arrives in Camelot, where he falls in the hands of the criminal Kanen. Too afraid to use his magic, Merlin has no other choice but to join Kanen’s gang of child thieves and steal to survive. Ten months later, Prince Arthur returns from a mission to a crime-infested city and disarrayed court, with King Uther paralysed by grief over Morgana’s death. Determined to restore order, Arthur tackles the task of cleaning up the Lower Town, where he meets Merlin—only to learn that the problems in Camelot run far deeper than he had first thought…

After sending Gwaine to infiltrate and investigate the enemy, Arthur manages to strike Cenred an unexpected blow by capturing Emrys, considered a war criminal of the worst kind.

Summary
Um, hi. I'm Jim. Jim Kirk. You don't know me, but I know you. Well, sort of. It's a long story. All of this started when I… Actually, no, it started when my mom got it into her head that… well, it's kind of complicated. Long story short, I accidentally ended up in another universe and... Look, I know it sounds crazy, but in that universe, we—the other me and you—are married and you're the crown prince of Vulcan Kingdom. It does sound crazy, I know. Fuck, I don't even know why I'm doing this. I don't really know you. Hell, I'm not even sure I want to know you. It's not like I think you and me… I'm just curious, I guess. You'll probably ignore me anyway; I know I would if I were a Vulcan and got a call like that from some stranger. Fuck it, it was a stupid idea. Bye, Spock.
[18-year-old Jim ends up in Once Upon a Time's universe. When he gets back, Jim's curiosity gets the better of him. And then things become complicated. Academy AU.]

Summary
In a universe with no Federation, where First Contact never happened, Jim Kirk is your average popular guy. On Christmas Eve, thanks to a series of strange events, Jim finds himself in a parallel universe where the Milky Way is under the control of an alien race and ends up as a servant in the residence of the Royal House of Vulcan. As he starts adapting to his new life, Jim's curiosity fucks everything up—but hey, Vulcans shouldn't have told him that he isn't allowed to enter this wing of the palace; Jim has never been good at following rules.
Or,
This is the story of how Jim Kirk became a Princess ("Prince Consort, Bones!") of the United Planets of Vulcan Kingdom.

Summary
Jim's managing, alright? It's not exactly as if there's a guidebook on how to be a Protector--Sentinel--whatever it is he's supposed to be. He's had to figure it out as he goes and honestly, he's doing a pretty good job. He hasn't fallen into himself so far that he can't claw back out. And if he ever does? If he's ever so caught up in something (or nothing) that he can't find his way out?
Jim tries to steer his mind away from the nagging thought, from the threat of being so thoroughly lost. He's fine. He's managing.

Summary
There was silence. Neither of them said anything, they didn’t even move.
Gale regarded him with wide eyes, seemingly taking his features in anew. Then, he scoffed, straightening up to sit on his bedroll. “Of course. I can’t believe I didn’t see it.”
No fucking way. He was not being this arrogant, this insufferable, in this moment. Astarion must’ve misheard him, only he knew he hadn’t.
“You think yourself that smart, Gale?” he asked with narrow eyes, face twisting with distaste.
“Yes, in fact I do.” Gale replied, his tone returning all of Astarion’s hostility. “I am a studied wizard after all. I’ve read all about your kind, assuming you are merely a spawn.”
“Merely.” Astarion repeated. He kept quiet for a while, attempting to discern what Gale was going to do. He discreetly wrapped his hand around the dagger he hid in the hem of his pants, just in case.
The wizard seemed to be lost in thought for a while. Eventually he looked up at Astarion, his eyes twinkling in the moonlight. “Did you plan to kill me?”
“What?” Astarion choked on the word.

Summary
We all know Astarion died about two hundred years ago.
But what if he didn’t?
What if he was saved before the final fatal blows?
Alas, while Astarion’s life was saved, nothing will ever be the same again.
Healing magic can only do so much, especially if there was no trained healer on the scene for his poor battered & broken body. The former magistrate is now disabled, with both temporary and permanent conditions. Amongst the latter is the inability to properly speak. He can understand what is being said, for the most part, but responding? A fair bit more difficult. Almost impossible, really. The wonderful world of brain damage…
When the story begins, he has been recovering for roughly a month, coming to terms with his new limitations and who it was that saved him. His mother of all people! Retired adventures never forget some tricks, even if they have spent the past few decades playing at being a proper noble wife.
Everything gets more complicated as he realizes certain things about his family, things he was willfully blind to, but now sees all too clearly, out of the one eye that still works, anyway.
Updates every other Wednesday!

Summary
It wasn’t a stirge or a deathfang, Gale choking down a gasp at the humanoid figure madly lapping and guzzling the bowl of blood. It was a vampire.
When Gale becomes aware of a creature targeting the infestation of necrotic rats plaguing his store, his eager brain fixates on the question of what being would willingly consume such pests.
His answer of a feral vampire spawn would only leaves him with an overabundance of academic questions and emotional complications.

Summary
Kakashi is reborn as the product of a drunken one-night stand between Aizawa and Ms. Joke. Mistakes were made, and Kakashi was definitely one of them. Still, Aizawa has to figure out how to treat him like a son instead of a student.
Kakashi isn't sure about this arrangement either. Sure his new Mom was annoying, but this guy is depressed. Does he really want to deal with a depressed father again? Not really. It would probably be better for both of them if Kakashi ended this facade of bonding and head back to his Mom's house.
