After fifteen-year-old Jason Todd claws his way out of his own grave, it’s not the League of Assassins that find him—but Father Michael.

Five years later, a grieving man unknowingly walks into the confessional of the child he lost.
“Bless me, Father,” he says. “It’s been five years since I buried my son.”
Jason recognizes the voice instantly.
Or,
A boy dies. A man rises. A prodigal son returns home.

Of Starks and Osborns by queerxqueen
Fandoms: Spider-Man - All Media Types, The Amazing Spider-Man (Movies - Webb), Marvel Cinematic Universe
15 Jan 2022

Summary
The media has always been wary of Harry Osborn. He grew up as modern royalty, rich and famous and son to a greedy billionaire tech mogul, which didn't paint the most sympathetic picture. He's too posh, too surly, too serious.
And then there is Peter. The orphan kid from Brooklyn Tony Stark adopted as his heir, the charming, upbeat young man with a tragic backstory, with the kind of rags-to-riches story the media fell in love with. He’s a genius, but he’s humble, and he’s handsome, but not in the waifish-Victorian-orphan way that Harry has going for him, but in a classic, American, boy-next-door way.
With a dichotomy like that, with Norman and Tony Stark’s famous feuds back in the nineties, and with Stark Industries and Oscorp being the top tech innovators in the game, it’s only natural that Harry Osborn and Peter Stark be rivals. It's a good story. Harry can't even blame the tabloids. Peter makes sense as the hero, and if that makes Harry the villain, then so be it.
*
No superheroes AU where Peter Stark is supposed to be Harry's rival, but Peter Parker has always been something else.

Summary
A modern magical comedy very loosely based on Ugly Betty. Publishing king Uther Pendragon has had enough of his playboy son seducing every female assistant he has ever had so he hires Merlin, a man he is sure Arthur will never sleep with. Merlin would be more insulted by this fact if he wasn’t so busy trying to juggle his duties, save Arthur's skin from ruthless fashionistas and keep his magic a secret at the same time. Expect appearances by oil-lathered knights, the occasional mad druid, a perverted Will and a mental caretaker who lives in the basement and keeps harping on about coins and destiny.

Summary
Arthur has been F1 World Drivers' Champion twice in a row, and fully intends to go for a third title. Newbie Merlin Emrys has, in a surprising turn of events, snagged a seat at top-team Dragonfly Racing. With the winning combination of a car fast enough to challenge Arthur's, a new driver who was born to the wheel, and a sharp-edged strategy, Merlin is an opponent who is ready to challenge Arthur's winning streak. It becomes even more complicated when things start to become tense between the two championship contenders, and Arthur has to fight to keep his head in the race.
After nine months, twenty-two races, and twenty countries, it all comes down to one thing: who will win this year’s World Drivers' Championship?

Summary
The storm that had passed through Albion didn't only bring devastation to Camelot.
It also brought a party belonging to the king, queen and princess of a distant land on the edge of Albion's maps. As per propriety and courtesy, the king of Camelot was required to hold a feast and provide accommodation for them. The feast started off smoothly, the royals of Camelot getting along quite well with the royals from Harden.
But a single question changed everything. Including the destiny and future of Arthur and Merlin.
"And what are your stances on magic?" Uther asked.
It took all Merlin had not to tense up.

Summary
A Modern day Merlin AU set at the University of St Andrews, featuring teetotal kickboxers, secret wizards, magnificent bodyguards of various genders, irate fairies, imprisoned dragons, crumbling gothic architecture, arrogant princes, adorable engineering students, stolen gold, magical doorways, attempted assassination, drunken students, shaving foam fights, embarrassing mornings after, The Hammer Dance, duty, responsibility, friendship and true love...
This story was inspired by the thought of Prince William of Wales (and indeed the current Max von Hapsburg) studying at the University of St Andrews; it is also, as the title suggests, at least a little inspired by the operetta 'The Student Prince'.
Grateful thanks to Lamardeuse and DarkEmeralds for Beta and cheerleading!
::2019 note: This story was written BEFORE the TV show introduced the character of Gwaine. It's not that I can't spell, or that I'm perversely writing him out of character - I incorporated other characters from Arthurian legend (Kay, Gawain etc) into my story, and lacking prophetic abilities, my versions naturally don't mesh with the versions subsequently introduced into the show.::
