Destiny is Calling (Don’t Leave Her on Hold) by Definately_not_a_cat, madasahatter (gaytriangle)
Fandoms: Sherlock (TV), Merlin (TV)

Summary
Merlin - now going as Colin - has survived both being arrested for murder and becoming friends with Sherlock Holmes. One of these was harder than the other, and it wasn't hanging around in a cushy jail cell. They didn't even torture him! What wusses.
He's almost settled into his new normal, when something old reawakens from a prison-like death and something new joins the hunt. It's going to take every friend he's made (and some reluctant allies) to pull through on this. After all, destiny is calling, and she doesn't like to be kept waiting.
Or: part 2 of our fun romp with an immortal Merlin through Sherlock's bad ideas, John even worse suggestions, and the very last inch of Greg's tenuous grasp on both patience and sanity. (Featuring enough OCs to add a plausible level of diversity to modern London.)

Summary
Arthur dies.
Camelot burns.
And yet, despite it all, Merlin survives.
He persists, long after his friends have perished, experiences the rise and fall of empires, watches man walk on the moon- but Sherlock Holmes?Meeting him may cost Merlin everything (Including, predictably, his sanity).
Or: Merlin decides to move to inner city 20th Century London to pull his life back together. Instead, he meets John Watson and Sherlock Holmes and- well let's just say his life gets a lot more interesting then he had planned on.
[The mature rating is mostly for some more heavy handed crime scene and murder descriptions, as well as some focus on mental health. Don't worry though! We add warnings in the start-of-chapter notes, and mark parts to skip.
It isn't nearly as serious as the tags suggest, we promise there’s loads of fun stuff in here too to balance out the angst (like ample sass and sarcasm; this is a Sherlock Merlin crossover, after all)]

Summary
After rescuing their friend from unjust imprisonment, the Scotland Yard crew have time for a little bit of a breather. Sherlock, John and Colin may continue their antics in centre stage, but in the wings Molly Hooper, Sally Donovan, and Greg Lestrade have lives to live, bills to pay, and and the ever so slightly supernatural to weather.
Or: adventures in secret santa rigging, shovel stealing, and supernatural stirrings, as told though texts, newspaper scraps and accidental voicemails.

Summary
"Are you going for the course?" Lovegood asked. "You have the NEWTs.”
“What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.
“Oh, I thought you might,” she said. “Well, goodbye.” And off she wandered again in her addled way.

Summary
Inspired by this Tumblr post, a what-if about Aaron Davis and Peter B. Parker being fake married.
EXCERPT:
“Uh,” said Miles, and Peter knew he was usually pretty okay (like, a B- at the very least) at keeping up a cover story, so the kid was bound to have some level of ability to lie too, right, “This is my Uncle Peter.”
Miles said.
To his own parents.
Was Peter inwardly screaming?
Sure.
Out of all the cover stories with all the people, how?
