    Summary

    After Spider is captured by the RDA, Eywa steps in, sending him both back in time and giving him a new body, leaving him upon the shore of Awa'atlu without any memory of his life before. Tonowari and Ronal take him in and Spider grows up with this family until the day the Sully family appears seeking uturu.

    OR

    I really wanted to see what would happen if Tonowari and Ronal raised Spider as their own and so this happened

    Summary

    "“Emrys,” said Gaius, raising the Eyebrow of Disappointment and flicking his gaze to where Merlin stood behind Arthur’s chair. “That is who you wish to have as your court sorcerer.”

    Arthur nodded gravely, every eye in the council meeting upon him. “Camelot is dangerously close to division even now that sorcery is legal. We need someone who will unite us all, and I cannot settle for less. I’ll send riders out at first light chasing rumours and follow up any promising leads we have myself.”

    He looked so beautiful when he said it, every inch the king, with the sunlight through the windows turning him gold. His voice had taken on that richness that sometimes infused Arthur’s words – that for the good of the kingdom voice, that let it be so voice, the voice that Merlin had come to understand meant another brick laid on the road to Albion.

    Unfortunately, that voice had been co-opted for a fucking farce."

    Or - In which magic is legal and Merlin is still lying for reasons that are absolutely, totally 100% valid and have nothing to do with his love for Arthur

    Summary

    “You really do have a soulmate.” Arthur said with a frown and Merlin shrugged. “That might be a problem.”

    "Can’t stand anybody but you having a shot a true love?” Merlin asked flatly. Arthur wrinkled his nose.

    “No, idiot. Spirit animals don’t get along unless they belong to their soulmate. If my bird sees your hideous lion-“

    “He is quite dashing, thank you. Besides, your bloody bird is too loud-“

    “My bird is just trying to do me a favor and tune you out!” Arthur snapped and took a long breath “The point is they can’t be around each other. So unless you want Emmy to pluck out this lion’s eyes I suggest you tell him to bugger off.” He snapped. Merlin was inclined to tell Arthur to bugger off himself, but was immediately distracted by one word.

    “Emmy?” He repeated and smiled. “You did name him.”

    Or

    In a time of myth and a land of magic, your soulmate’s spirit animal looks after you (even after you meet your soulmate). Arthur and Merlin are oblivious fools. We know this. That doesn’t change here.

    Summary

    Because civilization is a specific code of social interactions, and because Opal isn't in a dream anymore, civilization has to occur.

    But a year of kindergarten doesn't teach precisely what one had hoped.

    (or: Opal is sent to school)

    Summary

    It wasn’t ever supposed to be Declan; that was just an unhappy mistake. Ronan had called Maura and Calla, initially, and they agreed to watch Opal while Adam toured Harvard and Ronan accompanied him. But then one of the pipes at Fox Way burst, and Maura told Ronan that it didn’t matter if Opal was housebroken, they had bigger things to worry about.

    Then Gansey, who was normally so reliable as a backup, was called back to D.C. and he apologized but he absolutely had to go, because after the disaster on the day of the demon, he owed his mom. Henry Cheng was right out, because as far as Ronan could gather, Henry Cheng couldn’t feed himself and got kidnapped while wearing boxers, and the most responsible thing about him was a non-sentient bee.

     He was about to cancel, with all apologies to Adam, when Adam called Declan and Declan talked to Adam and the next thing Ronan knew, his brother was coming to the Barns.

     
    or: Adam goes touring colleges, and Ronan comes along. And Opal, well. She stays with Declan.
