Summary
It takes a month after Arthur lifts the ban on magic for him to adjust to the fact that the people around him might actually start to use it. Even stranger is when Merlin learns some from Gaius and, oddly enough, has a bit of a knack for it.
In which Arthur is obtuse, Merlin is trying his best, and Gwaine, Elyan and Leon don't understand why they can't learn to light fires as easily as Merlin did.

Summary
In a black-and-white television show with a ridiculously small audience, Merlin reunites with his fiancé Arthur Pendragon in the 1950s.
This is completely normal, and has nothing to do with how long Merlin has had to wait for the Once and Future King to return.
WandaVision AU

Summary
Langa didn’t understand, at first. Why that heart-racing feeling was suddenly gone, why even the most intense beef wasn’t exciting him. Why he was letting himself fall behind.
Now he does. Because when he locked eyes with Reki, saw that unruly hair, heard the intensity of his voice, it all made so much sense. Langa enjoys skateboarding, sure. He likes the thrill of it, the way it’s the same and new to his body all at once, the way the excitement of a race runs like electricity straight through him.
But that isn’t why he does it. Not really.

Summary
Merlin twisted round in his new chair as Arthur scowled over his shoulder. "He could be anyone, you know."
"I got that part, yes," Arthur said flatly.
"I’m just saying. He could be some creepy murderer for all you know. He could have magic!"
A flush crept across the back of Arthur’s neck. He turned fully to reply. "I don’t care, alright? Why are you still talking to me?"
Merlin ignored the last part, raising his eyebrows in mock surprise. "You would date a murderer?"
A You've Got Mail AU in which Merlin owns a magic shop, Arthur works for his father in politics and they cannot stand each other. EmrysHimself and SirKnight, on the other hand, have struck up a burgeoning romance...

That is, apart from these weird flowers he keeps coughing up. . .

Summary
Lance swallows. He tries to refocus his attention on the slight prickling of his wound instead of the proximity of Keith’s face.
“Y’know. The suit. It doesn’t look like you ever get out of it. What do you wear to bed when you’re at the base, anyway? Some purple Marmorian jammies with little blades printed on them?”
Keith pulls a face. “What does my outfit when I go to bed there have to do with anything?”
“Holy quiznak!” Lance barks out a laugh. “You totally go to sleep in the suit, don’t you?”
“What? No—I—Lance, shut up!”

Summary
When Arthur blows the horn of Cathbdhah for the second time, the horn doesn’t just send Uther to the other world. It sends Arthur away as well – to a world where Ygraine never died, the Great Purge never happened, and magic lives freely at court. As do those who practice it.
