    Summary

    Update as of Nov 2020: this series is abandoned! I have mixed feelings about some of the choices I made when writing it and have neither the time nor the motivation to go back and rewrite it to move forward with the fic. Sorry to say the muse has moved on.

    Thanks to everyone who read, commented, kudos, bookmarked, etc!

    Dick Grayson attempts to get to know his mother's brother. A Mr. Vernon Dursley. It turns out, Dick doesn't like him or his family very much, but he becomes very interested in their strange nephew, Harry Potter. Dick, and the rest of the batfamily, decide Harry is much better off with them. Really.

    Series chronological order

    2. Wizard Among Bats (WaB)*

    *A Bird's perspective happens in ch 4 of WaB, but also flashes back to between The Beginning and WaB

    Summary

    “Merlin…” Arthur said as he slowly started to reach for his sword. “Don’t…Move…”

    “No, no, no! Arthur, it’s alright!” Merlin said as he moved (because obviously he ignored Arthur’s orders and moved) in front of the desk. “She’s just saying hello!”

    “That’s a dragon.” Arthur informed him. Merlin looked over his shoulder for a moment.

    “No, it isn’t.”

    There was a pause.

    “Yes, it is.”

    “No.” Merlin shook his head. “It…Uh, is not…A dragon.”

    “Then what the Hell is it?!” Arthur asked, not letting his eyes drift away from the fire breathing demon. Yeah. That was definitely a dragon. Merlin clicked his tongue before also staring behind him.

    “It is…A…Bird…”

    There was another pause.

    “You’re really sticking with that?”

    “I am, thank you.”

    Or

    Merlin has to convince the King of Camelot that he is not, in fact, in possession of a dragon. Luckily, the rest of the kingdom has already been won over by the baby dragon and is quite willing to aid in this quest.

    Summary

    "...what?" Arthur asked blearily as the boy set down his food. Merlin didn't even pause as he went to the dresser and tossed some more clothes out of the cabinet. "You... You have an apprentice?" He repeated and squinted. "Why?"

    "Oh, you know," Merlin shrugged, tossing a tunic on the bed "In case I die or something." He said. The boy blinked before glancing over at Merlin with pursed lips.

    "You're not dying, are you?" He asked and Arthur had to shake his head to try and keep up with the conversation.

    "I don't think so... But you can never be certain." Merlin told him with an air of stoicism. Arthur scowled. Honestly. This was ridiculous. Clearly, this was his servant's newest attempt to get out of work (or at least work less).

    "Merlin, you're not getting an apprentice." Arthur told him. Merlin stopped to look at the king.

    "I am. I have. He's right there. Say hi, Daegal."

    "Hi!"

    Or

    Daegal lives. Merlin takes him on as an apprentice. Arthur isn't sure what's going on. Mordred is also mad for some reason.

    Summary

    Gwaine scoffed as he crossed his arms over his chest, chin jutted out as he resolutely shook his head.

    "No way. We can handle ourselves without Merlin for two days...Well, some of us can." He clicked his tongue with a nod towards the other three. Leon frowned.

    "What are you trying to say?"

    "That we didn’t grow up with servants," Elyan snorted "I know it’s a scary thought but...we can actually survive a hunt without Merlin’s stew." He said. Gwaine gasped in fake shock.

    "We don’t need a servant," Arthur piped up immediately, chest puffing out in defiance "Hell, with how Merlin is, I’ve pretty much been without a servant for years!"

    "Great!" Percival said and jerked his head "Then let’s go."

    Or

    The knights go on a hunt without a servant because Merlin is sick. Obviously it goes fantastic.

    Summary

    Despite all the supposed trips to the tavern none of the knights have seen Merlin drunk. They decide to rectify that. A poor decision, really.
