Summary
An Au after the war, where Draco didn’t make it out of the Fiendfyre.
A lot of people didn't make it.
The Ministry has ordered a cleanup and is seizing the properties of Purebloods/known Death Eaters, including Malfoy Manor, Harry volunteers to inspect their property - even himself unsure as to why - and alas it becomes the tipping point, the final straw that breaks the camel's back, and Harry knows, with every fiber of his being, that something has to be done.
Too much is too much.
(Yes you guessed it, time travel fix-it, yay magic)

Summary
A Harry Potter AU where the rules of magic are slightly different from canon, new OCs, some common trops, and a focus on Irish culture, ancient and modern (1990s modern).
It will get semi-political, with some real world politics, and mentions of the Troubles and similar events, although I don’t intend to focus on that too much, but I guess this is a trigger warning for those who need it.
This fic starts in the GoF. There are established relationships between the OCs and canon characters.
Any time something is spoken in Irish (or any other language than English) the translation with be in brackets after the paragraph as I want this to be able to be read by English speakers and for them not to need to speak half a dozen languages just to understand some chapters.
Comments are appreciated and welcomed.

Summary
It’s been six months since Arthur last saw Merlin: six months since he told Merlin to leave Camelot, and Merlin told him that if he did, he was never coming back. Now, the knights and Guinevere team up to get Arthur to bring Merlin back home. What better way than an imagined new magical threat building on the horizon that only Merlin can stop?

Summary
When Stiles bought his antique shop he knew he was starting the next chapter of his life. He knew he would meet new people. He knew that the construction crew he hired was going to be barely tolerable at best. (He and Boyd and Isaac have been working on it but it's hard to take over a company when your dads won't let you unleash chaos upon them and Boyd is all reasonable about it and shit okay?)
He knew all this.
Yet he still didn't quite expect things to turn out this way. (Except for the parts that he totally did expect.)

Peter's been the owner of the hole-in-the-wall bar on the corner for almost ten years now. He's met a lot of people and made a lot of contacts over the years. None of them come close to being as interesting as Stiles manages.
Somehow that's both the best and the worst thing in his life right now.

Summary
Erica watches him for a long moment and he knows that she can see it, that there’s something shifting under his skin, something that shouldn’t be there, something that, the last time it took a stroll, murdered a whole bunch of people. She doesn’t address it because there’s something under her skin too and as long as it’s kept in check, it’s no one’s business but theirs.
