Summary
It was over. Arthur was here. The Lamia was slain. Gwen was alright. The knights would be back to normal. It was over.
Able to relax for the first time in days, he let his knees buckle and his back slide down the wall. He hit the ground, and his vision turned to mist.
Merlin didn't make it out of his encounter with the Lamia unscathed, or so Arthur thinks when he slays the beast and finds Merlin slumped against the wall and bleeding. When he learns the true source of Merlin's injuries he is furious. He does his best to push that anger away though, because being there for Merlin matters far more right now.
or
The Lamia episode but Merthur, and the knights actually injured Merlin.

Summary
'They'd been searching for him for well over an hour now with no way of knowing what condition he was in. Or if he was even alive. But they couldn't think like that. They wouldn't let themselves. Sora was tough. He was strong. It would take far more than a few rocks to take Sora out! Far more than boulders falling from above, the ground giving way beneath his feet... plunging into the darkness below.
There were ravines in the Underworld that seemed to stretch on forever, the bottoms hidden by green smog or so far away that light couldn't stretch far enough down. For all they knew, some might truly be bottomless. It was hard to know what to expect in Hade's domain. They could only hope that the one Sora had fallen into hadn't been too deep.'
---
Sora takes a tumble in the Underworld and wakes up confused with the worst headache of his life. Donald and Goofy frantically search for him, then are stuck trying to get the very concussed half-pint to safety.

You’re the lump in my throat and the knot in my chest. by inconsistentracoon

Summary
He makes his way down the hallway leading to their bedrooms and is forced to pass Sora's closed door on the way to his own. The lump begins rising in his throat again. The day before yesterday he had woken up in that room. In the bed on the other side of that closed door. He had woken up so happy. So sure his future would be full of mornings just like that one. Mornings full of quiet breaths on his skin and a chest to press himself into, of soft smiles and laughter as they stayed there far too long, wrapped in the blankets of their own private world, feeling safer than either of them had ever felt before.
Now he wonders if he'll ever see the inside of that room again.

Summary
Fighting Heartless is something Riku and Sora are used to dealing with. Being ambushed by pistol-wielding pirates is not. When a treasure hunt goes disastrously wrong and Riku is injured, it's up to Sora to get them to safety. He's running out of time though, and running out of strength. It turns out Riku is heavy, and bullet wounds bleed a lot.

If Only There Was Someone Out There Who Loved You by inconsistentracoon

Summary
"Hey Donald? You and Daisy love each other, right?"
"Of course!"
"What does that feel like?"Having a heart that can connect so deeply with others isn't always a good thing. When Elsa's magic struck Anna's heart Sora felt a shard of ice in his own, and now there are white streaks in his hair and snowflakes appearing on his hands.
His friends are determined to find a way to help him, but if true love is the only thing that can fix this then he knows there's no saving him. He isn't even sure he knows what love is, and he doubts there's anyone who feels it for him.
Mickey is fairly sure he knows of someone though...

Summary
Sora was already feeling a bit under the weather when he, Riku, and Kairi arrived in Arendelle, and that was before he'd had to hike through the snow all night after an unexpected Frost Serpent attack left them all worse for wear. His boyfriend and best friend had needed help though, and he wasn't going to let some minor injuries and a few sniffles get in the way of that. It's annoying that now they seem to be getting worse, but it's nothing to worry about, he just needs some sleep and then he'll be fine.
or
Sora suffers serious consequences from trying to hide how bad he's feeling, and Riku is worried, loving, and angry all at once.

Summary
After waking up in a strange city, Sora has wandered its streets alone for months searching for a way home, whilst tormented by Heartless and stalked by a stranger in a black coat. When he is gravely wounded, his friends arrive just in time to get him to safety.
However, he has returned to his world with more than just physical wounds. With his body, heart, and spirit all severely damaged, and memories of Rage still haunting him, the road to recovery will be long and painful. Could there be more than trauma to these dark feelings Sora has brought back with him?
His many friends want to be there to help him through it though, even in the times he doesn't want them to be, and doesn't think he deserves it. Above all else, Riku and Kairi will always be at his side, even while one must desperately try to hold back his feelings.
A story about friendship, love, and healing. Ignores KH4 trailer.

Summary
The Inquisition members have escaped Corypheus thanks to the Herald's sacrifice. But Eowyn Lavellan survived, and while she still lives she will do all she can to rejoin her friends.
Short fic of my Inky's experience between the end of "In Your Heart Shall Burn" and waking up in the Inquisition camp in the mountains, with a touch of pining for the Commander and fluffy pre-relationship romance.

At Yen Sid’s tower they watch over him as he begins to recover from his wounds, and the harrowing experience of being trapped in that world.
