    Summary

    "Forgive me," he tells her, his voice is almost inaudible but there is no mistaking the pleading in his tone. He must only fall to his knees before her, and then he'll be no different from the slaves and beggars she had seen in King's Landing.

    "For what, your Grace?" she asks, her voice cold and detached. She sees him wince as though her words have cut through his skin, yet she remains unmoved. She cannot afford to let herself feel now.

    He doesn't answer her question. Instead, he offers an explanation. "I couldn't allow the North to go through yet another war, Sansa, especially not one against dragons."

    My heart broke so much for Jon and Sansa – for what they're going through and for what they could have had with each other.

    Now I just wanna watch cute golden retriever videos to forget the pain this fic inflicted on me😞✋️

    Summary

    It starts like this.

    She's furious, anger hazing her mind and making her reckless. Reckless enough that she turns and leans across the center console and presses her lips to his. It's not a good kiss. Her lips are pursed tight, as tense as she is, and he's also tense, but she doesn't break it off and soon his eighteen year old boy brain seems to take over and he's kissing her back.

    Ok, maybe it starts earlier than that.

    Maybe it starts when an eight year old Robb brings home a skinny, sullen boy after little league hockey one day. He's quiet, but Robb loves him and from that day on, Jon Snow becomes a constant figure in her life.

    Very sweet, angsty, and exactly what I needed to read.

    Summary

    For Merlin, having the world fall apart around him was nothing new, but having someone there to help him pick up the pieces afterwards unfortunately was. Until it happened twice, with two very special people who appeared in his life when he most needed saving.

    Modern AU, friendship fic. Sort of Christmas story.

    Summary

    The magic reveal is not glamorous. After Ismere, Merlin confesses practically on a whim—while in the midst of his evening chores—and Arthur is forced to question everything he thinks he knows. What follows is a journey that tests their friendship, Arthur’s kingship, and Merlin’s faith. Known like never before, Merlin discovers that he has more secrets than just his magic to confess, some of them difficult and guilty; meanwhile, Arthur is tasked with undoing the fear of magic Uther has left behind in the kingdom, and in Arthur’s own heart. Together, can they defy Arthur’s prophesized death, and guide Camelot towards its Golden Age?

    An episodic Series 5 rewrite.

    Summary

    It never got dark here in the future, and he could never see the stars. Arthur missed the dark—was that stupid, considering the thousands of years he had apparently spent in it?

    Arthur returns from the dead: lost, traumatized, and out of his depth. Not even Merlin is familiar anymore.
