Summary
Midoriya Izuku will die here, in some way. If not a true death, then one in spirit at least. He thought he knew what it was to shatter; drowning, flight, a rooftop, a question, an answer, a ledge that looked much too inviting.
He will not come back from this one, there is not enough glue and gold left to hold his pieces together.

Summary
Despite his obvious lack of socialization, Shouto had always been an observant person. He had to be, really, to survive in his father’s house. He had to learn to detect what mood the man was in each day to know how to behave; to be quieter or meeker, to fight back or to take up no space, which is why he did not understand how everyone else could be so blind to the truth of Midoriya Izuku.
If no one else is going to help, then Shouto Todoroki will do right by his first friend himself, goddammit.

Summary
In Ealdor, you court someone by braiding their hair. Gwaine does not know this. Merlin knows Gwaine does not know this. Which means that braiding Gwaine's hair can be just because Merlin wants to, not because he is really courting the man.
He is really courting the man.

Summary
"I..." Merlin began, trailing off. Arthur waited. "I, um... You see..." He tried again. Arthur felt another stab of resentment rise as his shoulders seemed to slump in resignation. What had Gwaine done to him? He was about to suggest Merlin speak to him alone when Gwaine's expression went completely blank before turning to look at the prince.
"Ah," He winced and offered a dazzling smile "Hello, your majesty. You caught us at a bad time."
"Have I?" Arthur asked coolly. Merlin blinked - looking Gwaine over warily.
"Yes," The knight continued and gestured between himself and Merlin. "We were just about to have some amazing sex. Right in that alcove actually," He said, nodding a bit towards a nook in the wall behind Arthur. "So, if this isn't anything urgent..." He trailed off. Arthur stared.
He... He had misheard, right? Definitely. For a moment he thought Gwaine had said... No. Absolutely not.
Or
Gwaine learns that Merlin has magic. Arthur learns that Gwaine is hopelessly in love with Merlin.

Summary
Arthur has long since begrudgingly admitted to himself that his feelings might run a bit deeper than just a harmless case of infatuation. But it isn't until Merlin's mortally injured in an ambush that Arthur learns to what lengths he's willing to go to save him.
Especially when it turns out that his manservant is also a sorcerer and has magically bound himself to Arthur.
And why is it that Arthur doesn't exactly mind?

Summary
When Merlin first arrives in Camelot, Prince Arthur is away from the citadel. Merlin starts working for Gaius full-time and doesn’t give the Prince or the mad ramblings of a certain dragon any further thought. But destiny always finds a way: Four weeks into Merlin’s apprenticeship, an injured man walks into the infirmary and Merlin, oblivious to the fact it’s the Prince, treats him like a fellow peasant. The two of them strike up a rather unconventional friendship…
