Summary
“Well, from what I’ve gathered, we could get through the coming year without hiring new professors, of which there are none. We only need someone who could do, well, anything,” McGonagall quipped, casually sarcastic.
“Sounds like a job for Potter,” Malfoy’s mouth blabbed before his brain could stop it from happening.
And that was that.

Summary
Merlin has survived dragons, destiny, kings, magic-hating monarchs, and the emotional devastation of watching everyone he’s ever loved die.
So really, he thought, a simple trip to the wizarding world for tea couldn’t possibly be that bad.
He was wrong.
Now he’s somehow become the unofficial emotional support adult of Hogwarts, is being hunted by the house-elves because he keeps fixing castle structural problems himself, dealing with a basilisk situation that Merlin is “pretty sure he dealt with once already, back in the 5th century.” and trying to stop Gilderoy Lockhart from deciding that he is his "professional rival."
Merlin regrets stepping outside...

Summary
Just when the Order relaxes its rule on dating, Anakin's marriage crumbles, its faulty foundation caving in.

Summary
“I’m an activist, Mr. Morgan,” Merlin explains.
“I see that,” Knight Gwaine says.
“I want this place to exist here forever. Forever and ever and ever.”
“You mean until King Arthur climbs out of it?”
“Yes,” Merlin says. “But after that, too, since I’m not like, 100% positive that he’s going to know what a fish ladder is. I figure we’ve got to do some work on that and probably his English before we let him go off into the wild.”
“Right. Obviously, the English. But what happens if someone tries to put another body in the lake while you’re here?”
Merlin doesn’t have an answer to that.
(Three women's bodies are dumped into a lake, and detective Gwaine Morgan is assigned the case. He does not anticipate said lake to be guarded by a local 12 year-old and is even less prepared for what happens when the 12 year-old becomes his murderer's next target.)

Summary
Muscles jump in Balinor’s clenched jaw.
“I knew you wanted him,” he says. “You could never be satisfied with just your own son.”
“I need a loyal dragonlord,” Uther explains to him. “And we both know that it won’t be you.”
“You vile man,” Balinor says. “You used my love. You used my son.”
“And I would do it again. Do we have a deal?”
(Uther, desperately lonely after sending Arthur away to become a knight, manipulates Balinor into giving him Merlin to keep as his pet dragonlord. Balinor, furious at having been tricked a second time, joins a rising resistance to Uther's rule. When Arthur comes home, he falls in love with his father’s strange ward and in doing so unwittingly ignites a war.)
