    Summary

    “You think we should have sex?” Eddie clarified — still in that slow, deliberate tone, like any sudden movement would cause the ceiling to cave in around them.

    Buck rolled his eyes. “I mean…not for real.”

    “Okay. So you think we should have fake sex."

    “Yeah, like reading Our Bodies, Ourselves isn’t the same as watching porn, right? It’d be educational sex.”

    “Well if it’s educational sex...”

     

    Or: Buck learns that Eddie's never had a prostate orgasm. Clipboard sex ensues.

    Summary

    “Merlin, what is in your hair?” Gaius asks - rather judgmentally, Merlin thinks. It’s not as though Gaius can turn into a bird, making his opinion irrelevant. Everyone’s opinions shall now be irrelevant to him unless they can turn into birds, he decides. He puts a hand to his hair and feels a leaf.

    (So this is a very canon-inaccurate sort of re-telling, with some big divergences, minus a dragon or prophecy or two)

    Summary

    Loneliness is an insidious thing. When Merlin looks at Arthur, he sees not just a prince waiting for his time to rule, but a young man struggling to find his place in the world, with little help from anyone else.

    The truth is, Arthur needs more than the friendship Merlin can offer. He needs people he can trust: men and women who will become his court and his confidants, and if he is going to survive to take the throne and lead Camelot into its golden age, he needs them sooner rather than later.

    Finding loopholes in Uther’s laws is no easy feat. Court life is a dangerous game, but it’s one Merlin has every intention of winning so that Arthur can have knights of his choosing by his side.

    And then there is the matter of his magic…

    Summary

    A grimy hand burst upwards from the ground.

    Dirty, splintered nails like claws, a pair of scratched up scabby elbows.

    And then finally a face, pale and desperate, emerged from the wet dirt.

    Disturbed birds scattered from their perch in the surrounding trees as he ripped through his slimy placenta.

    It cloaked over him like oil, curdled gelatin pulling greedily at him as he hastened to drag himself out from the forest floor. His hair dripped caustically, sticking to the back of his neck and steaming a little at the ends.

    Leveraging through, he scrambled backwards through mulch and pine straw until his back hit solid bark, and then he scanned across the line of trees. The chirps and clicks of bugs echoed openly across the silence.

    He hoped they were bugs.

    Sniffling, hiccuping softly, his gaze drifted back down.

    The hole was already closing up, dirt tumbling back into itself.

    Before long, it looked like nothing but an anthill.

    Summary

    “You-” Ygraine said, stepping up to point a finger in Uther’s face. “You are a liar and a murderer. The fact you think someone as sweet and caring as Vivienne is destined to marry you is a tragedy in itself, but if you expect me to hand over my brother’s rightful claim to Camelot’s throne-”

    My claim to Camelot’s throne,” Uther threw back, face growing more red as Arthur looked between his parents in utter bewilderment. Merlin didn’t blame him. He had envisioned Uther and Ygraine’s love story to be more… well, less based in war and battles.

    Ygraine’s eyes narrowed as she grabbed a goblet of wine and threw it in Uther’s face. A few of the guards shifted, but Uther only raised a hand to pause them, spitting out the wine with furious eyes.

    “You,” Ygraine said coldly. “Are unworthy to sit upon a stool, let alone a throne.”

    From a few feet away, Balinor scoffed as he sipped from his own goblet. “I kind of like having her as a hostage, Uther. She livens up the place.”

    Or

    In a desperate attempt to save Arthur at Camlann, Merlin tries to reverse time. It works perhaps a tad too well.
