Summary
Uther, King of Camelot and father to Arthur Pendragon, was in mortal peril.
This, in itself, was not news; Uther, by dint of a recalcitrant, bloodthirsty personality backed by military power and an unshakable belief in the Divine Right of Kings, had made a great deal of enemies in his day, and, in truth, made new ones almost daily.
But this time was different, in that it was entirely Arthur’s fault.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OrAfter Arthur accidentally puts his father's life in jeopardy, he must ride out of Camelot, with Merlin at his side, on a journey with no real end goal in sight

Summary
In which Gwaine finally realizes that Merlin has never had a day off and hatches a brilliant plan: Step One, get Merlin liquor'd up so he won't protest The Plan; Step Two, fake a kidnapping and a ransom note that will force Arthur and the rest of Camelot's nobles to treat their servants better, and Step Three, return Merlin to Arthur once he's done, with no one the wiser and everyone happier.
Unfortunately, Gwaine's plans have never once worked out the way he thought they would, and things just sort of fall apart from there.

Summary
Every Witcher knows that claiming the Law of Surprise is risky, Eskel more than most. He and his mates avoid it as much as they can, but when they save an Alpha noble's life, their lack of coin and a lean season force their hand.
There’s no knowing what could be waiting for them at the Alpha's family estate. Eskel will settle for anything that can aid his pack, from food to something fit to sell.
Turns out Destiny's plan is more aligned with Eskel's wishes than he's willing to admit, because what he finds is an Omega.
