Summary
Set after the Merlin Series 5 Finale "Diamond of the Day".
Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
Cover art by Lao-Pendragon------
For many long years Merlin waited.
For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.
Until one day, suddenly, it did.
When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.
Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

Summary
“Where are you driving from?” Eddie asked, his mouth moving before he could stop it, his brain deciding that awkward small talk was infinitely safer than just standing there vibrating with nervous energy.
“East,” the guy replied with a casual, fluid roll of his broad shoulders. “Farther than I wanted to be, honestly. And definitely longer than I originally planned.”
Before the army, before Los Angeles, and long before the 118, there was a dusty gas station on the edge of El Paso, a broken-down Jeep with Pennsylvania plates, and a stranger named Evan.
For years, they were each other's entire world, surviving basic training, AIT, and a grueling deployment side-by-side. But a devastating wave of silence and a massive misunderstanding tore them apart, leaving behind a deep, soul-cutting ache and a history neither of them ever truly moved on from.
Now, the past has finally caught up to the present. Standing under the harsh fluorescent lights of Station 118, Eddie and Evan are forced to navigate the wreckage of the life they left behind—and the terrifying truth of everything they never stopped running from.

Summary
And, Buck, she thinks that maybe someday she'll be able to move on from Eddie. From the one that got away.
And then a month later, Bobby announces that they'll be getting a new recruit soon. "Girl's got a silver star," he says, "She's a war hero," he says.
What he doesn't say is, "Hey, Buck, you know the girl you've been agonizing over for eight years? Well, here she is!"
He might as well have.
(Or, in every universe, Evan Buckley and Eddie Diaz fall in love. This universe is no different, except, in this one, it's Eva Buckley and Edith Diaz.)

Summary
Everyone knows that when you touch someone who's going to be important to you for the first time, you'll leave a mark on them. It's not just romantic love; parents and children, siblings, close friends all share marks too. At least, they do in theory. Maddie's the only person who's ever touched Buck and left anything behind.
.
It’s funny, growing up knowing your parents don’t care about you. The kind of funny that would get Evan uninvited from sleepovers, which is why he always changes into his pajamas in the bathroom. The kind of funny that he’s not allowed to ask his parents about. The kind of funny that makes Maddie look at him so sadly sometimes, when she doesn’t realize he can see her out of the corners of his eyes.- Language:

Summary
“Does this story have a point?” Eddie questioned, Lena narrowing her eyes at him.
“This guy, my sort of friend—what if he could watch Chris for you?”
Eddie furrowed his brows together. “You want me to leave my kid who’s halfway across the country with some—stranger?”
“It beats having him sent home to your parents, right?”
Well, she had a point there.
Eddie shook his head, overwhelmed with his thoughts.
“Look, I appreciate it Bosko, but I just—I don’t know. This is my kid we’re talking about.”
“I know that, and I know how much you love him. Hell, you’ve sent me ten plus emails when I was watching him for you.”
Eddie looked to where there was a line coming out of their commanders office. He turned to Lena, giving his full attention.
“Alright, tell me about this friend of yours.”
—or—
The one where Eddie’s in the army, Shannon gives up her rights to Chris, and Eddie needs a babysitter. Good thing Lena knows Buck, the guy having nothing better to do than help babysit until Eddie gets back. Eddie would come home, and he would leave; it wasn’t like they were going to build some lifetime friendship or anything.
