    Summary

    "Hey, uh, Win?" Ed said, gently rapping his knuckles against the door as he pushed it open. He swallowed and rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm, uh... I'm not going to be able to finish my client. I need you to take over. When you've got a minute."

    "What's wrong? What happened?" she said in a low tone, reaching out and grabbing his hands. "Ed, you look like... What did she say?" 

    "Nothing, she just..." Ed shrugged and did his best to laugh, but it came out more like a whimper. "She just said that I don't look Xerxian. That I'm supposed to have brown skin. And I might have snapped at her a little bit."

    Summary

    Captain James Tiberius Kirk of the USS Enterprise was exposed to trials and tribulations of someone many times his age. Surviving mass violence and genocide on the Earth Colony of Tarsus IV in 2246 was only the beginning. Deep and lasting physical scars always leave mental marks as well. See also the companion oneshot, Past and Future Dreams.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The Tarsus IV fic written by a holocaust historian. Yes really. Gets down to the nitty gritty of what a genocide is, as well as what surviving does to a person.
    If you're going to read a Tarsus IV fic, read this one.

    Summary

    Arthur throwing a banquet for the sorcerers who have helped him over the years to celebrate the legalization of magic is a good idea in theory.

    But four of the five people Arthur just asked Merlin to give invitations to are just… different variations of Merlin.

    Merlin’s TRYING to explain this to Arthur. But he just. Isn’t. Listening.

    Summary

    It was panic that drove him from the castle wearing nothing more than a torn tunic and a stained pair of trousers; that, and pain. There isn’t a part of him that doesn’t hurt in some way, that isn’t covered by blood, or bruised black and blue. With every step, agony shoots up his spine and more than once, he has to slow down to catch his breath.

    He can’t go back now. He can’t. Every time he closes his eyes, he sees Agravaine’s body lying against the wall, blood trickling from his cracked skull to pool beneath his head. Merlin can never go back after what happened.

    Arthur will never forgive him.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This fic captures the shame and humiliation perfectly. I love Arthur in this so much. He puts everything together, he's not an idiot or oblivious, and still chooses Merlin. This fic really captures both of them perfectly.
