Summary
Ghost ends the Infection much earlier, leaving Hallownest with something of a society that must now pick up the pieces. Catastrophic resource shortages, an unstable political landscape, and a population scarred by plague leave every able body stretched thin. Still, Hornet is grateful for her mother's presence, something she never thought she would have. This is, of course, complicated when a chorus from Pharloom attempts to capture a weaverling. With the weavers as a whole too injured to run, and no longer able to hide, a new solution must be found: diplomacy.
Pharloom is starved for Silk, as it always has been. When a chorus returns, bearing news of Mother's wayward children, Lace expects things to stay the same. Unfortunately, these stray weavers are guarded by a Wyrm, and Mother is reluctant to challenge another higher being in her diminished state. However, she cannot simply let her children go. Diplomacy is the only option.

Summary
“You-” Ygraine said, stepping up to point a finger in Uther’s face. “You are a liar and a murderer. The fact you think someone as sweet and caring as Vivienne is destined to marry you is a tragedy in itself, but if you expect me to hand over my brother’s rightful claim to Camelot’s throne-”
“My claim to Camelot’s throne,” Uther threw back, face growing more red as Arthur looked between his parents in utter bewilderment. Merlin didn’t blame him. He had envisioned Uther and Ygraine’s love story to be more… well, less based in war and battles.
Ygraine’s eyes narrowed as she grabbed a goblet of wine and threw it in Uther’s face. A few of the guards shifted, but Uther only raised a hand to pause them, spitting out the wine with furious eyes.
“You,” Ygraine said coldly. “Are unworthy to sit upon a stool, let alone a throne.”
From a few feet away, Balinor scoffed as he sipped from his own goblet. “I kind of like having her as a hostage, Uther. She livens up the place.”
Or
In a desperate attempt to save Arthur at Camlann, Merlin tries to reverse time. It works perhaps a tad too well.

Summary
Professor Emeric Ambrose is Hogwarts' new Muggle Studies teacher. His qualifications include a deep, personal animosity towards every major author of the Arthurian legends, an unnerving ability to reason with sentient furniture, and the eyes of a man who has been tired for a very, very long time.
He's also Merlin.
All he wants is a quiet life. But with a king in a painting who won't stop giving bad advice, a magical portrait of his nemesis down the hall, and two red-headed apprentices who are determined to learn the art of "narrative chaos," Merlin is about to discover that the only thing worse than being forgotten by history is having it come back to haunt you. Literally.Bookmarked by rulesofthegarden

Summary
“Thou return to cross thine nail with this pure vessel. For what purpose, We can only wonder.
Does combat draw thee closer together? Dost thou also desire attunement with the Gods? Or dost thou hide some other desire deep within thee?“
- The GodseekerOr: Who says that you can't repurpose the local dream ritual for communing with the divine to have a bit of an unorthodox family reunion?
