Summary
“WAIT!” The old man turned around, grinning like he'd been playing the long game all along, as if he'd been making a fool of Arthur, and by extension, the King. “There are other crimes I wish to confess!”
Or-
Dragoon makes a different choice in his approach to confront Arthur about magic. But that is only where Arthur's dilemma begins. While Arthur starts asking questions, he must also direct them at the people closest to him. People he loves, people he can't live without. Love isn't easy to share between the three of them with all of Camelot watching, and then there is Dragoon and his magic. But maybe Dragoon isn't all that he seemed...Series

Summary
Arthur Pendragon works sixty hour weeks and is devoted to his family name, until one night Uther goes just a bit too far. Restless and confused, Arthur gets into his car and drives until he can't. It is the middle of the night in a small village in Wales, and a helpful officer directs him to a B&B for the night.
There he finds a kindly innkeeper, his very weird historian gremlin nephew, odd people, odd situations, and even odder - himself.
A slightly absurd and very gentle story about coming back to yourself, finding a true family, and realizing that historian gremlins are actually really hot and rather amazing, and perfect to fall in love with.

Summary
The Dragon Lords once lived and ruled happily in Camelot. That all changed after the Battle of Camelot. Now they live in the Wilds, No Man's Land, a place where clans and dragons rule. A routine errand to collect herbs for Gaius gets complicated when Merlin ends up saving the life of one of Camelot's best knights. Which begs the question; how and why would a knight from an enemy kingdom come to be in the middle of nowhere?

Summary
After losing Arthur, Merlin semi-accidentally travels back in time. In an attempt to change the future, Merlin takes Morgana under his wing and trains her in magic, all the while trying to pretend he's not still in love with an Arthur who doesn't remember that they used to be married (in the future, that is), keeping an eye out for Morgause, and juggling Camelot's run of the mill crises. You know, the usual manservant stuff.
Aka two idiots make a mess for 55k lmao.

Summary
Arthur gave Merlin his cloak thinking only of the warmth it would offer in a snowstorm. He never thought his manservant may be mistaken for him and snatched by bandits. Nor did he expect his dashing rescue of Merlin to turn his world so utterly on his head.
Because the bandits hadn't kidnapped a prince. They'd snatched a sorcerer, and now captivity is the least of anyone's problems.
A golden age awaits, but can they claim it together, or are they doomed to fail?

The silhouette is backlit from the headlights on the Mini Cooper and he’s maybe hit his head harder than he thought because it almost looks like…
“Merlin?”
And Merlin feels as though his heart is exploding in his chest because that voice and his real name and as he looks up...the golden hair reflected in the light from the car.
Arthur Pendragon is standing, completely starkers, in the middle of the road leading up to Lake Avalon.

Peter Pettigrew and the Ghost of Christmas James by gonzoclock
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
Peter loves his friends. Which is why he had to kill them. And now, he's doing- well. Alright. Things didn't turn out exactly as he'd anticipated, but he's making it work. Living his life. As a rat. Mostly trying not to think about things.
Fine. Things could be better.
But he hadn't thought they'd get worse- which is exactly what happens when, three years after James died, he's come back. And for some godforsaken reason, he's decided to make that Peter's problem. (Okay, okay- Peter gets it. He did kill him.) Peter is sure that James is going to turn him in, ruin his life the same as Peter had ruined the Marauders.
But this is James. And he doesn't do any of that.
What was Peter expecting, really?
(Features: A lot of fighting, a lot of forgiveness, and a splash of necromancy. Alright, you got me- rather a lot of necromancy. But come on- we can't just have the ghost of Christmas James show up. Haven't you seen 'A Muppet's Christmas Carol'? There needs to be at least two more ghosts.)

Summary
COMPLETE
A post-apocalyptic space AU. Sirius is a Commander in space tasked with the mission of gathering data from Earth, the planet the human race had abandoned over 300 years ago.
Remus is living his best life on Earth when a shuttle crashes from the sky.
Sneak peek:
The man grunted, a sign that he was either responding to Remus’s sarcasm with far less amusement than Remus himself, or an expression of pain. Hard to tell. “What’s your name then, eh?”
“Sirius,” he gasped, voice hoarse from smoke and crimson spitting across his lips. Ah, so he was listening. “Like the star. Crashed, not on purpose.”
Remus smirked. “Alright, Starboy, you can call me Roman then.”
Sirius coughed, a harsh noise around his words. “Pleasure, I’m sure.”
Remus hummed, a grin still playing across his mouth. He was enjoying this far too much. “Well, let’s get you patched up, since you fell from the sky and all.”

Summary
“The House Cup. It’s official—they’re letting hedges compete.”
“Wow.” He doesn’t know why this seems to knock the wind out of him. It’s not as if he didn’t know this was coming. Can hardly forget an event that only occurs every twenty-one years. An event that at three-years-old was probably his first real memory. One of his only memories of, well, before. “That’s great, Lily…”
“It is. It really is." She smiles to herself. “Because we are going to wipe the floor with those prissy, gatekeeping, ‘classically trained’ wizards.”

Summary
“I’m so, so sorry,” the man continued, wiping a bead of sweat from the side of his temple with the sleeve of his faded Blondie t-shirt. He wore ripped black jeans and black and white Chuck Taylors and had his own messy curls, just like the baby. “I had no idea Teddy would be such a handsy little fucker at these story times, but he’s always grabbing… fuck, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t say fuck in the children’s room. Shit, I did it again, I’m so sorry, I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with me.”
***
After James and Lily died, Sirius Black's therapist told him not to date for a year. And that's just as well. He's got a 13-month-old baby now and quite enough to deal with, thanks. But the nosy neighbors in his building keep trying to set him up and won't take no for an answer. Enter Remus Lupin, another single dad who pretends to be Sirius's boyfriend, just to get the old lady brigade off his back and nothing more. Nothing more at all.

Summary
James let his head fall into his hands, rubbing at the temples as if trying to push Remus's words of of his head.
“Six months.” He muttered in disbelief letting the reality of it all sink in. “I was gone for six months. How did this happen? How did it all get so messed up in just six months!”
Glancing between his fingers he saw Remus grimace from the doorway. “If we are going to be accurate, we let it get all messed up in seventy two hours. It’s just… still a mess six months later.”
Or
James survives on the night of Halloween 1981. Barely. He was badly injured and in a coma which the experts said would be permanent. What no one expected was for James Potter to wake up six months later to a world that he doesn’t recognise, where everything is wrong and his loved ones are hurting or gone.

Summary
When Sirius Black is unmasked as a spy, it seems that nearly everyone in Bletchley Park knew all along that something wasn't right about him. But Lily Evans thinks otherwise. She knows that if Black really was a spy, he'd have done it properly, and would have never been caught. Remus Lupin doesn't believe Sirius is a spy either. According to the landlady, she found the stolen ciphers in his room between the pages of a magazine filled with photos of half-naked women. And Remus knows that such a magazine would hold no interest for Sirius. It's not much to go on, but both Remus and Lily are determined to get to the truth. A man's life depends upon it.
