    Summary

    In the beginning, Arthur had maintained a strict idea of how things would go.

    He would, naturally, be dignified and princely.

    Merlin, being a very emotional sort of creature, since he hadn’t had a father to teach him any differently, would have to do the confessing.

    Summary

    “Very well.” Annis looks back to Arthur. “You will have your trial by combat. However,” she says, “I will choose your champion.”

    Arthur’s head snaps up. For a moment, he’s clearly uncomfortable, then his expression clears and he squares his shoulders. “As you wish. You have your pick of any one of my men.”

    “Him.” Annis’ eyes do not leave Arthur’s. “At noon tomorrow, your servant will fight on behalf of Camelot.”

    Summary

    They are in Arthur’s rooms, safely tucked away from the rest of the castle, when Merlin casually leans forward in the low burn of the fire and lights a candle with a flick of his hand – an action that would have damned him days ago and that still sends a strike of fear and apprehension through Arthur’s stomach. There is the fear and the magic, and the fear of the magic, and then there is the way Merlin’s jaw looks in the firelight.

     

    It has been days since Arthur discovered Merlin’s magic – days since he first felt the brush against his skin. He is unsure, suddenly, which part of Merlin is which – what is the magic and what is the man (for Merlin has surely become a man). Just what, Arthur wonders, will he risk to find out?

    Summary

    She'd smiled uncontrollably, laughing breathlessly at the gentle weight of the baby against her skin. He'd been wrapped in a fuzzy pink blanket, carefully nestled in her arms. Against her sweaty, still-heaving chest as tears streaked her cheeks.

    Then her skin grew unbearably warm, and she glanced down as the nurses left them alone for the first few moments together.

    "Oh no," She whispered, her eyes wide as Percy screamed, as if he knew then and there the weight of the name branding itself across his flesh. He cried until his tawny cheeks turned red, until the color of health pulsed through his pale, drying skin. Until Sally's heart broke, watching in horror as the gold settled over Percy's heaving chest in lethal, curving, serpentine cursive.

    Phoebus Apollo.

    The initial hope she'd had of a soulmate for her beloved baby was replaced with the cold truth. Any soul bound to burn for divinity was destined only to ash.

    Summary

    In the not-so-distant future, Death Eaters have retaken power in England and want to resurrect Lord Voldemort. Fifty-year-old Hermione Granger decides to take matters into her own hands and go back in time to adopt and raise Tom Riddle. She did her research. She has an evidence-backed plan.

    She did not mean to bring Harry Potter along.

    Forced to pretend to be married, they now find themselves raising a six-year-old future Dark Lord in the shadow of Gellert Grindelwald’s growing influence, and discovering that changing history is far messier than anticipated.

    Expect a Spy Family-esque, crack-adjacent fic with fewer pink bubble-gum telepaths and more haunted Victorian orphan magical prodigies; Hermione leading an aggressively early crusade for Muggle education reform; and a fifty-year-old Dumbledore pining helplessly for a fifty-year-old time-travelling Master of Death Harry Evans.

    Featuring Harry/Hermione “widower” romance, one-sided Dumbledore/Harry pining, and baby Tom Riddle being, generally speaking, a very good little menace.
