    Summary

    “You-” Ygraine said, stepping up to point a finger in Uther’s face. “You are a liar and a murderer. The fact you think someone as sweet and caring as Vivienne is destined to marry you is a tragedy in itself, but if you expect me to hand over my brother’s rightful claim to Camelot’s throne-”

    My claim to Camelot’s throne,” Uther threw back, face growing more red as Arthur looked between his parents in utter bewilderment. Merlin didn’t blame him. He had envisioned Uther and Ygraine’s love story to be more… well, less based in war and battles.

    Ygraine’s eyes narrowed as she grabbed a goblet of wine and threw it in Uther’s face. A few of the guards shifted, but Uther only raised a hand to pause them, spitting out the wine with furious eyes.

    “You,” Ygraine said coldly. “Are unworthy to sit upon a stool, let alone a throne.”

    From a few feet away, Balinor scoffed as he sipped from his own goblet. “I kind of like having her as a hostage, Uther. She livens up the place.”

    Or

    In a desperate attempt to save Arthur at Camlann, Merlin tries to reverse time. It works perhaps a tad too well.

    Summary

    Professor Emeric Ambrose is Hogwarts' new Muggle Studies teacher. His qualifications include a deep, personal animosity towards every major author of the Arthurian legends, an unnerving ability to reason with sentient furniture, and the eyes of a man who has been tired for a very, very long time.
    He's also Merlin.
    All he wants is a quiet life. But with a king in a painting who won't stop giving bad advice, a magical portrait of his nemesis down the hall, and two red-headed apprentices who are determined to learn the art of "narrative chaos," Merlin is about to discover that the only thing worse than being forgotten by history is having it come back to haunt you. Literally.

    Summary

    “Thou return to cross thine nail with this pure vessel. For what purpose, We can only wonder.
    Does combat draw thee closer together? Dost thou also desire attunement with the Gods? Or dost thou hide some other desire deep within thee?“
    - The Godseeker

    Or: Who says that you can't repurpose the local dream ritual for communing with the divine to have a bit of an unorthodox family reunion?

    Summary

    “You do not understand.” Kamukura says it, but he doesn’t sound surprised.

    “No, I totally do.” Kokichi lies.

    Kamukura doesn’t respond. Either he buys it, or doesn’t see a point in arguing.

    Kokichi, spitefully, decides to believe the former.

    ~~~

    Once upon a time, a five/six-year-old Kokichi Ouma lived with Izuru Kamukura during the Despair Era.
