Summary
A hand grasped his arm, sending a brief thrill down Merlin's nerves as he was forced around to face the person behind him. Armour gleamed in the firelight: supple chainmail glinted, and the solid iron of a pauldron curved lovingly over one broad shoulder. The length of a sword blade separated them. The point hovered, steady and sure, over Merlin's heart, braced to run him through, but he did not care about any of that. He was too busy drinking in the sight of the man before him.
He could never forget him, no matter how many centuries had passed.
'Arthur?'
When Merlin ultimately fails in his destiny, the fading remnants of magic that linger in the modern world fling him not just back in time, but sideways as well. He ends up in a Camelot where all his friends are alive, well and aware of his magic.
He ends up in a Camelot where his alternate self died almost a year ago.
Can he, Arthur and their friends still forge the golden age he was once promised, or will grief and suspicion tear them apart?

Will they be brave enough to cross the invisible boundary still standing between them? Or will they let the fear of losing each other get in their way?

Summary
The Riddler halts. Pauses.
“What the fuck, dude?” He finally exclaims, breaking all melodramatic pretenses and slamming his hands down on the table, “Either listen to the goddamn riddle or let me kill you so we can get this exchange over with!”
Peter nods, “Sorry, sorry, my bad on that one. I finally remembered the word I was thinking of. Here, let’s make a deal this time - cross my heart I’ll keep it - so if I can’t solve your riddle you get to…” Peter gestures, leaving it open ended, and the Riddler seems to perk up.
“Kill you in a blaze of glory,” he finishes, primly, and the melodrama returns as he crosses his legs and re-steeples his hands, “And if you win? I must be fair, after all.”
“Uhh… would you mind telling me where I am?”
OR
Peter's greatest enemy is time management and also maybe the hoard of superheroes that are crawling all over Gotham.

Summary
(or: how jester lavorre was right about the healing qualities of the nicodranian sun)
Ships arrive in Exandria’s biggest port, filling the city of Nicodranas with the faceless mass of its visitors, ready to lose themselves in the bustle of the night and the heat of the day. While the sun is relentless, shadows sorely being missed, two souls not fond of burning enter Nicodranas with the intention to get washed away just like all the others.
But the city is a vicious and vibrant blur of colors and light, its sprawling streets leading the mass in circles, until they ultimately arrive back at the beginning of their journey. And as summer leads to autumn, days slowly drip by like the sweetest honey, Essek and Caleb keep finding each other again, and again, and again.
