Summary
“This is your collar. It means that for tonight, you belong to me. You’re mine, Gwen.” Morgana stared into her eyes, and Gwen felt broken-open, and more vulnerable than she’d been in a long time.

Summary
“Rather late, aren’t we Merlin?” Arthur inquired dryly, not looking up from his work.
Merlin shifted, he couldn’t concentrate on their usual banter, all he could think about was his aching bladder, and how easy it would be for him to just let go right here, and the expression Arthur would wear if he did…

Summary
Merlin and Arthur spend the day in, playing games and having fun. They're both a bit prideful and a tad competitive, so when it's time for Mario Kart will there be peace, or will there be a take-no-prisoners bloodthirsty battle to the death? Or to the bed?

Summary
“How did you get home from the hospital?”
“Took an uber.”
“Does Maddie know?” Silence. “Does anyone?” More silence. More of Buck refusing to meet his gaze, staring at the door like he thought he could entice Eddie to leave by the power of suggestion. Well, good fucking luck, Eddie thought. Wild horses, and all that. “Why didn’t you call anyone?” he demanded. “Why didn’t you call me?”
“I did!” Buck snarled. The momentum of his indignation carried him into a sitting position, and Eddie could see him flinch with the pain of it. His unnaturally stoic front was gone, and something raw and wrenching took its place; it occurred to Eddie that he’d never heard Buck raise his voice before. “I did call you, Eddie! As I was bleeding out on my kitchen floor. You. Didn’t. Answer.”
---
The squatter in Buck's attic has a knife. Buck has a bit of a breakdown. Eddie has a plan to make everything right.

Summary
Arthur Pendragon is at an all-time low: he's still suffering from the day he nearly dueled his father to the death, his sword arm has been wounded so grievously he may never fight again, and, worst of all, every last soul in Camelot and the kingdoms beyond have had magic forced on them overnight. Now Arthur must contend with the chaos of magic run rampant, his father's dangerous instability, Morgana's increasing distance, catching Merlin in more lies than he can count, and the magic that is now threatening to consume him—all while searching for a way to break the curse before it consumes them all.
It's not going to be easy: Arthur grapples with a destiny he's not sure he can handle, and a past he'd rather forget—and if he wants to save his people, he must be prepared to confront hard truths and harder choices. It's a trial by fire, one that risks destroying everything Arthur has left to hold dear should he fail. But with enough courage, enough understanding, and maybe just a touch of magic, there's nothing he can't face.

Summary
A 14.13 Lebanon rewrite. When Dean uses a wish-granting pearl to try and kill the archangel Michael before he can escape the cage in Dean's head, they instead wind up with a newly-resurrected John Winchester.
It's been more than a decade since John died, and a lot has changed: Mary is alive, Sam and Dean have what passes for a proper home in the Men of Letters Bunker, and they're living with angels. John doesn't know angels are real, he doesn't know about the fragile new relationship between Dean and Castiel, and most of all, he doesn't know that Dean said yes to Michael, or that Dean's plan to defeat Michael would send him to a fate worse than death.
Now Dean must contend with both his father asking questions he can't answer, and his loved ones learning about the darker truths of his childhood, all while constantly battling the archangel trapped inside him. But Dean coming to terms with his history may be the difference between this being the beginning of a journey—or the end.

Summary
Bishop Takes Knight—Historical Suit of Armor Disappears Without A Trace!
Nolan can’t help but trace his fingers over the grainy image beneath the headline, the familiar business card, and the even more familiar shape stamped on it. The Bishop. Our bishop, he thinks, and shudders a little bit, feeling strangely indecent sitting out here in public touching his fingers to the image of his soulmark, their soulmark, a shape that must have been copied faithfully from the naked skin of his other half.
There in the paper, for anyone to look at—but not for anyone else to understand. A secret message just for him. Intimate and brazen; connecting them across countries, timezones, crime scenes.
--
Or, Nolan thinks he's been flirting with his soulmate-slash-professional rival for the last few years until he realizes he actually has two soulmates. And they've already found each other.
