    Summary

    A collection of unrelated and standalone magic reveal one-shots, because my favourite thing about the Merlin fandom are the reveal fics. Most of these will be centered around Arthur and Merlin, but not all. All are set during the canon era.

    Incomplete (yes, still in 2021).

    Looking back, the first sign of trouble was that Ichabod Crane fell asleep in the car.

    Canon-adjacent series that picks up after 1x06, with a focus on QPR Dreamling (though leaning a bit towards romance in parts). Enjoy 🩶

    Summary

    Something is... off somewhere deep in the Dreaming. Something is breaking, and Dream is rendered progressively more incapacitated the longer it goes on. It's up to Matthew, Lucienne, Gault, Death, Johanna Constantine, and a handful of other dreams and nightmares to find the cause and solve it. Even when it possibly involves Hell and betrayal by a rogue Nightmare.

    (This is really just an excuse for me to fuck up Dream and make him hurt for three straight chapters, and I'm not sorry.)

    ---

     

    Dream is … disoriented. In pieces. Like he's being pulled apart like scattered stars in the sky. Even in this distant space, there is what feels like a knife, rending him into razor-sharp pained ribbons. Sand shreds across his skin. Cracks form across the surface of a smeared canvas. He's lost. He can't get back.

    Summary

    It's the fic where Dream didn't address some trauma (mostly about Burgess) and old wounds didn't properly heal. Because he's the Dreaming and the Dreaming is him, well, the wounds wind up also literal.

    Next chapter will be in the Dreaming, where Dream's going to have to do actual addressing of his trauma in the Dreaming's landscape. While simultaneously also half keeling over. Well, at least he's got Hob, and Death, and Matthew, and Lucienne...

    – nothing made sense, the past and present merging into each other. Dream is out of the cage, so why can't he breathe? Why is he bleeding red, like there's a gaping wound? He's standing in a meadow. He's standing in a cave. He's standing on a shore. There's a cliff edge, and he doesn't know where it is, and then something shoves him, again, over the edge, shadows yanking him down –
