Summary
Merlin is Arthur's lover, his manservant, his knight, the grain of sand that will make Camelot into a shining pearl. But the one thing he cannot be is a sorcerer. After Merlin confesses, Arthur is determined to find a way to remove Merlin's magic, to remove the corruption without killing him, and before it can destroy his soul. But magic can only be fought with magic. Without Merlin's powers, Camelot will be defenseless against the next magical attack. And that's not all Arthur has to worry about, because there are visitors to the court, alliances and enemies, and a princess he may have no choice but to marry. To set things right, Arthur will have to confront his father’s lies and embrace the magic he was raised to fear.
Gwen has kept her faith in secret even as she listened to Morgana's muttered nightmares and watched Merlin from afar. But when Morgana sees terrifying visions of Camelot’s destruction, the truth comes out for them both, bringing them together even as it tears them apart.
Through heartache and hard choices, all four of them must join forces to save Albion and its magic from the terrifying Sidhe and an equally terrifying Uther.

Summary
The disbelievers said it was stupid, that it was a waste of time. No one is going to want their hair or nails or face done in a recession. But talk is free, Parvati thinks. And that’s all she wants, really, in a world without community. A shop where she can meet people, hear their stories. To listen to what they have to say, the voices the Prophet won’t hear; to make a space for the girls like her who spent their childhoods lost, searching. She keeps going - despite the graffiti, the slurs, the overdraft - for the loyal ones, no matter how few.

Bookmarker's Notes
Probably my absolute fav story. Just smile whole way through
Professional writing, I want to emulate this writing style
Very loveable characters, no bashing, very ‘yes thats exactly how people react’
My #1 favourite quote across any potter fanfic-
She stared at him. ”Potter. Your father was an abominable liar. And I mean simply abominable. Once, he told me had been sneaking into the prefect’s bath to, and I quote, ‘assist with his gradual but painful transformation into a mermaid.’”
Harry giggled. “Um…okay?”
“Meaning,” McGonagall said, pressing two fingers to her temple,” you must have inherited the skill from someone else, leading me to seriously reconsider how often I took Lily Evans at her, at times severely far-fetched, word.”Also fav take on lupin- pink, punk, kind and queer. The greatest acromantula from any fic ever. One of my fav takes on unicorns. Greatest take on Myrtle and ghost abilities. Favourite Trelawnley
To summarise in authors words
Harry opened and closed his mouth. As a principle, he didn’t approve of something not being his business. Most things, in fact, were his business, whether anyone else knew it or not.
Araeo gaped at him, and then shook his head, laughing. “I don’t know why I’m surprised. At this point I’m amazed you aren’t friends with the rocks and grass we pass.”
“Not yet,” Harry said, grinning. “Give me time.”Harry scoffed. “Curfew’s for newts.”
Oh.” Harry did put his head down then, exhausted. When would things stop getting more and more complicated? Was this what it meant to grow older? To become aware of ever-more-infinite tangles, some of them good and some of them bad, but most of them terribly sad?
Hermione put her cup down with a clack. "The fight for justice must be led by those most persecuted, or else we will only reorganize the same unjust circumstances!"
Limmy stared at her.
“I’ve, um! I’ve been reading!” Hermione eyes were still wide, but in excitement. “All about fights for freedom! Did you know, in Argentina, centaurs attend wizarding schools? And in Columbia, there is an autonomous elven community!”
Slowly, Limmy started to smile.“Tom Riddle. He is a ruiner.”
A ruiner. The word made Harry tremble. But she was right. Everything that Tom Riddle touched, he ruined. He had killed Myrtle. He had cursed the basilisk and its eggs. He had exiled Hagrid and Aragog. He had wounded a unicorn. He had killed Harry’s parents. On this day, eleven years ago. Tom Riddle had ruined his parents and tried to ruin him too
…“Don’t let him keep ruining,” Harry said fervently. “Don’t let him haunt you.”
“You’re right,” she said. “I’m the one who haunts. No-one haunts me.”When have I ever hassled,” Harry said, taking Araeo’s hand sulkily (ka-bum) “I don’t hassle, I—I expedite.”
Harry curled around the hatchlings, and the basilisk rested its head upon Harry. The emerald hatchling licked at the tears still streaming down Harry’s face as he listened to their precious and unformed hissing.
“It’s blind,” whispered Harry to the basilisk.
“I know,” said the basilisk. “Three perfect children.”"This isn't Hogwarts," said Bill. "I know you all think you're hot shit fourth-years now. But if you fuck with the aurors today, they will kill Dobby and throw the rest of you in Azkaban where even I can't help you. Do I make myself clear?"
"Now scram," said Bill. "It's six am and I don't see a single piece of horrifically sugary or fried food in any tiny children hands, and that's a war crime or something. Concessions are that way." They took off in a drove. It looked like many of the attendees had arrived the night before, and were emerging in dressing gowns with cups of tea into the morning air, to be nearly stampeded by aforementioned hot-shit fourth-years, plus Dobby.Oh,” Araeo snapped. “Like you’ve never overheard something to upsetting to talk about!”
“Not that makes me cause a diplomatic incident by crossing national borders!”
Araeo gave him the most scathing look imaginable. “Tell me you’re joking. That’s all you do, Snakeheart!”T R A D E
“Warm,” it hissed, its tongue flicking over Harry’s chin. “Heart. Warm.”
Harry met the basilisk’s eyes. “It’s true, Snakeheart” it murmured to him, nudging him with its nose. “Your heart is so warm."
