Summary
Set mid-S4: When King Arthur falls in battle, all of Camelot- his friends, family and kingdom, can only think him dead.
But Destiny is not done with Arthur yet. Taken in by Druids who would surely kill him if they knew his true identity, Arthur must learn to survive when all that he believes himself to be is gone. But his royal secret is not the only thing threatening his life; having cast just one magical spell, Arthur knows he can never return home lest he endanger his loved-ones with magic's corruption that will surely take him.
That is unless, of course, there is a little more to magic for Arthur to learn beyond the evils he was raised to believe. And maybe a bit he can learn about who he truly is, along the way. -

Summary
“Tell me your names- every name you have ever been known as," said the fae. "That is all I require; then you may cross my bridge.”
This is why Merlin hated leaving the Citadel.Or: One of those wonderful fics where 'everyone must reveal their names, putting Merlin in a considerable predicament', but this time its not Merlin with a secret he's been hiding. Gwaine brought this upon himself.

Summary
Set in a fix-it’ed Post-Canon. In his own time, on his own terms, Merlin finally tells Arthur about his magic. Unavoidably, this sends Arthur ping-ponging through all the stages of grief, but he still trusts Merlin more than he fears magic and the thought that Merlin had betrayed him never once crosses his mind.
This, of course, is only the beginning. Change must come to Camelot, and Arthur is determined to bring peace to his lands. Now he just needs to legalize magic, make peace with the Druids, convince his Council that he's not going insane, keep his Kingdom from falling apart in the process, and persuade his damn stubborn manservant to become his Court Sorcerer. All in a day's work.(Basically the magic-reveal that we all wanted in which it goes far better than Merlin could have imagined, and Arthur uses the brain-cells and emotional maturity we know he has. Then they go get wasted together, as they deserve. Subsequent fallout ensues.)

Summary
Arthur caught his sorcerer’s eye again. “If Emrys did have a simple, human identity, you wouldn’t have any suspicion who it could be, at all?”
“I wouldn't, I’m afraid.” Merlin shrugged one shoulder, seeming somewhat defeated. “I’ll look into it.”
Once, years ago, Arthur had been sure he could tell when Merlin was lying through his teeth. How frustrating it was to know that couldn’t be further from the truth.Or: In a fixed-it post-canon, word begins to get out about the godlike sorcerer Emrys who will aid the Once and Future King to unite all of Albion. This, of course, results in all the leaders of Albion beginning their attempts to win the elusive Emrys’ favor, in order to be chosen as his prophesied King.
Even as his Court Sorcerer, Merlin lives to antagonize Arthur and decides to inform the world -as Emrys- that he has already chosen his King, in a... less-than-conventional way.(Can be read standalone from the series.)

Summary
To err is human, or so they said.
Stick-figures were not human. But there was something in them beyond code, something that made them alive, and perhaps that was the same thing.
The Chosen One wasn’t quite sure who ‘they’ were who ever said that quote, but it didn’t really matter. People eventually let their guard down. People eventually made mistakes.
Which meant: They couldn’t keep him here forever.Or: Chosen gets the hell out of dodge (Rocket Corp.) and takes the kid with him, with all intentions to forget those other children he left behind. At least he now has a overpowered 13 year-old on his side against Victim and his goons. It would help if said kid knew how to use those powers, but they'd get there eventually. They'll be fine. Just as long as a few dangerous secrets, a couple of mercenaries, a colorful group of meddling children, and ghosts from the past stay out of Chosen's way- they'll be fine. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
The stuff that happens between missions, movies, and life-or-death chaos, because when you’re playing host to a team of giant aliens living in your shed, there’s never a dull moment.
Besides, with five heavily armed war-machines watching your six, what could go wrong?
Lots, apparently.Mostly fluff and crack for now, will get angsty eventually. Not yet. Eventually.
Updates every Friday.
AU, with characters and events picked out from the Bay Movies and Transformers: Prime.On hiatus until school and motivation allows us to actually do stuff. Apologies.

Summary
(It isn't "don't wander off.")
When the Doctor accidentally ends up stranded far away from Earth with no sonic, no TARDIS, and no fam, she knows she's got to find a way back home to them as fast as she can. Of course, it doesn't help that she's apparently crossing over her own timeline—when she knows she doesn't remember seeing herself the first time she was here—and she's stuck in a hotel that forces its prisoners to confront their worst fears and deepest faiths.
Starts at God Complex and diverges from there. (You don't have to know anything about the episode, though, and there's pretty much no rehashing of old dialogue, so don't worry!)

Summary
While on a supply-gathering mission for his ailing clan, Purple ends up separated from his hunting troupe and finds himself under the thumb of the King.
With the violin-like sound of his wings making him such a novelty, the King keeps Purple as his own pet musician, enchanting the little beetle-stick's wings as a status symbol.
Purple manages to escape, but upon returning late from his failed mission, is banished from the clan.
With nowhere else to go, Purple eventually finds himself in the care of five curious and kind-hearted stickfigures.
But the King has grown wise to his absence.

Summary
Anakin ran his fingers through his hair, resisting the urge to yank the strands out of his scalp. He picked up a socket wrench instead and reapplied himself to the task of removing the casing over the deflector shield generator on his Delta-7B. "I have to go to this stupid class. Even though I'm a Knight. Even though I have—my—own—Padawan." He torqued the wrench as hard as he could with every word.
After Ahsoka's close call on Soonisam, Obi-Wan forces Anakin to take a Togruta parenting class.
