Summary
Before there was Harry Potter, there was Will Stanton, the eleven-year-old boy chosen for a singular purpose in the struggle of good against evil. In this solstice wonderfic, a thirtyish Will reflects on what it means to be an Old One in the modern era, and eventually meets up with his boyhood friend Bran, who has something to confess.
This is not my first attempt at a Dark Is Rising “where are they now?” story, but it’s the first time I’ve dared to post one. My apologies to Susan Cooper for the liberties I’ve taken with her characters. :) No major spoilers, for those of you who haven't read the books. There is nothing explicit either, but mature themes are brought up in relation to Will's and Bran's sexual experiences, as teens and as adults.

And One Go Alone by Sage (sageness) for leiascully

Summary
"Five shall return and one go alone," the verse said, but it didn't say who would go alone. It didn't say what kind of world would turn on the vanishing of a twelve-year-old boy from Wales, or what the youngest and oldest of the Old Ones would do in a world without the Dark but with all the evil humans could devise on their own. It didn't describe what kind of future three English children would find themselves in thereafter or what paths they might choose within it. It didn't foretell what the world would become without a Pendragon in it, or how it might fall apart in his absence.
