Summary
It’s a daily battle, reigning in his magic.
But there is something wrong with his magic and there is something wrong with Merlin.
As Merlin finishes working the buckles on Arthur’s armor, he feels a creaking in his bones.
The moment Balinor’s pulse finally stilled on the forest floor, Merlin’s magic changed. No longer is his magic a flower waiting to bloom in his cupped palms, it’s an animal backed into a corner waiting to sink its teeth into the ones who put it there. The mutt at his feet has lost its patience.
There’s a flint being struck under his skin, generating sparks, seeking dry brush to ignite and swallow in flame.
Merlin is terrified.
He isn’t a seer, never mastered the art of scrying, but even he knows something is looming over the horizon.
or Merlin’s Dragonlord powers let him shift into a dragon, things go to shit, and then there are more dragons.

Summary
tenacious, adjective
te·na·cious | tə-ˈnā-shəsa: not easily pulled apart
b: tending to adhere or cling especially to another substanceSeason One: Kyle Crane steps into a world he no longer recognizes, carrying grief on one shoulder and fear on the other. He grieves the loss of his own life, snatched from him, and he fears for his soul; fears he’ll slide across that thin line between monster and man, with nothing left in this fallen world to guide him back.
Then again... he has a man to kill. And revenge? Vengeance? Maybe a monster—leashed by anger—is what it’ll take.
You know the drill! This is a campaign rewrite: More heroes, more villains, new end game.

Summary
The one really, really shitty part of this is everything that’s permanent.
That, Luis hadn’t detailed, nor had Leon entirely expected.
With the political turmoil of his failed rescue mission, the explosion of worldwide T-Virus outbreaks, Leon finds navigating through Europe to find a cure to he and Ashley's condition difficult. There's so much he wants, so much he thinks 'should be' in the face of 'what is', and facing that will come at the cost of knowing himself and what's become of those he's cared about.

Summary
don't you dare try to pull me into your world
i have myself to follow; that's who i choose to live forBeing the first of your kind isn't easy. It's all questions that no one, not even you, has the answers to.
But being born into a half-destroyed world and a war between the two sides of your being doesn't help, either.

Summary
Zuko was not a good shifter.
Azula could switch between her wolf and human skins between steps. Not Zuko, he needed several minutes before he even started the shift, and that was on a good day. If it had been Azula who Animal Control found in that alley, they would have walked away convinced that their eyes had played a trick on them. There had never been a dog there.
But Zuko's long transformation would have only revealed his kind to the world. Father may think he has no honor, but he wouldn't stoop so low as that. Even if that meant being dumped in animal shelter, trapped as much by the 24/7 security cameras as by the cage bars.
He had the worst luck.

"Come on guys!" Aang said as he lead his friends through the clamoring barks of the shelter. "I want to show you my favorite dog! He's a sweetheart."
Aang lead the pair to where a monstrous beast of a dog was growling with raspy barks loud enough to drown out the rest of the shelter. His bright white teeth contrasted against golden eyes and a bright red scar that stretched over the side of his face as he lunged against the cage door.
Sokka laughed nervously. "Did the word 'sweetheart' change meaning when I wasn't looking?"- Language:
