Summary
Despite what some people (Arthur) think, Merlin was actually a great planner. Unfortunately, there's just not much evidence of that due to his true downfall: once Merlin gets involved, his carefully laid plans somehow always go wrong.
Merlin and Arthur knew slowly reintroducing magic into Camelot would be hard, so they made a plan. They thought about where to start, who would be sympathetic, who wouldn't, how fast was too fast, how slow was too slow, and thousands of other issues. For months they strategized and thought of every eventuality.
So when their plans are completely thrown out the window as a Druid boy is thrown into their lives Merlin knew he shouldn't have been surprised.
Hopefully being a good father doesn't require any more planning.

Summary
Arthur has become the King Merlin had always dreamed him to be. He was loved by his people, noble and commoner alike, and was nothing like his father. Slowly he was growing more and more excited for the future Arthur would bring, one where magic would hopefully be free in Camelot once more.
But, for now, Merlin was focused on a different problem. One that held an equal amount of risk and possibility of ruining the friendship they had built.
Merlin was in love with Arthur.
Or
Sometimes love makes being honest more difficult, not less. After Arthur and Merlin tumble into an accidental relationship, does Merlin have what it takes to confess to being a sorcerer? And does Arthur have what it takes to hear it?
OR
I love Taylor Swift and the songs I Can See You, Cruel Summer, Foolish One, and The Last Time (in that order) felt like they told a story to me, so here it is.

Summary
Merlin heaved a quiet sigh before whispering, “It’s different, Gwaine. You have to remind him how to show his love for you in the right way, not how to love you in the first place. And it’s dramatic, I know, to have this big of a breakdown over something so small, but…” He trailed off, unsure how to finish.
“But it’s about more than just not going to a show, isn’t it?”
Yeah. It was about more.
Or
Arthur got tickets to a show Merlin and him had talked about going to for years and Merlin was more excited for it than he had been for anything in a long time. So how is he supposed to feel when he discovers that Arthur hadn't even thought to invite him in the first place?
OR
A self-indulgent fic where Merlin is sad, but what's there to be done when no one is really in the wrong? Sometimes things just hurt, even when no one wants them to.

Summary
“Arthur, what? No this is not about me being afraid of him taking more of your time! I’m not… I wouldn’t do something like that! I’m being honest with you, that man gives me a bad feeling! One I’ve long since learned to trust,” He looked at Arthur pleadingly, “One I feel I’ve given you ample evidence to trust as well,” He continued sadly.
Maybe it was just another "silly feeling", but Merlin knew this wouldn’t end well.
Or
Merlin knows something is wrong with Arthur's childhood friend that is visiting, but Arthur refuses to see it. They've survived so many trials together: war, grief, realizing years of lies. Will this be the thing that finally causes an irreparable rift?
Merlin's starting to think it might.

Summary
When he had thought he was reassuring Merlin that he was okay with him being a sorcerer, Merlin had thought he was making fun of him for his feelings. Feelings that Arthur not only would never joke about, but also reciprocated.
Gwaine began to understand that there must have been a giant miscommunication and put his head in his hands, “Oh you fools. You’re both complete and utter fools.”
Or
Merlin lost a bet and needs to admit to Arthur that he might be a teeny tiny bit in love with him. Arthur has been waiting for Merlin to tell him that he's a sorcerer. There's no way they can confuse those conversations. Right? (Wrong.)
OR
I heard 'Crushing Me' from Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies and needed to write a silly, angsty, little story about Merlin and Arthur being dumb.

Summary
Post-season-two. Crowley's moping, Aziraphale wants to fix things, and turns out, there's enough blame to go around.
-----
“You’re being ridiculous.”Crowley very nearly falls over.
Like, actually. He very nearly loses balance for no reason at all and tumbles to the sidewalk next to his car. He’s been playing Aziraphale’s voice in his head for weeks, he’s been trying very hard to drown out the sound of it, in fact, and now suddenly, abruptly—
“What are you doing here,” is all he can think to say. He whirls around, and there he is. On Crowley’s right, standing there like he’d never left. Where he belongs, Crowley’s mind helpfully supplies. He wishes he could punch himself in the brain, knock the thoughts right on out of there.

Summary
Steve buys a little rundown farmhouse after his parents pass. He collects abandoned and stray animals, ones with disabilities and high medical needs, because he has both the funds and the time to give them the best life they can possibly have. Then, somehow, he starts collecting kids, too, working with the foster system to give them a place to learn and grow. Adults, however, aren't really his forte, but when Jim Hopper calls in a favour, Steve can't help but agree.
It turns out that Eddie Munson, a rockstar famous for both his music and hedonistic lifestyle, is going to be Steve's next rescue.

Summary
At first, it’s just squirrels.
Well. Saying it’s just squirrels is like saying in a thunderstorm, what’s coming down is just water: it’s not the substance that’s remarkable, it’s the amount.
So, then: at first, it’s a lot of squirrels.

Eddie Munson is a vampire. Steve Harrington just wants everyone he knows alive until Christmas.
