Summary
Three years have passed since Arthur drew the sword from the stone and reclaimed his throne from Morgana, and Camelot is enjoying its golden age. Magic once again flourishes, and through his alliances with the druids, the kingdom has unrivaled peace and prosperity.
When Merlin disappears in the icy wastes of Ismere, Arthur sets out to find him. After all, he can’t leave his friend, court sorcerer and the last dragonlord as Morgana’s prisoner. But the stakes are higher than just Merlin’s life, and while Guinevere protects Camelot from a traitor at home, Arthur must prevent Morgana from finding the power she is looking for. Because if he cannot stop her, then it is not just Camelot, but the whole of Albion that will suffer.
AU of Arthur’s Bane.

such a great twist on canon; just the right amount of canon divergent and dead-on characterisation.

Summary
[Crossover with Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnelle.] Merlin couldn't have picked a worse time to finally tell Arthur about his magic. In the wake of the battle against the immortal army, a strange visitor disrupts the court, calling himself the Green Knight and proposing a test of the court's integrity. Although Uther turns him away, several of Camelot's northern allies end up mysteriously beheaded over the next few months, and Arthur, Merlin and the knights set out to investigate. They encounter more than they'd bargained for on the way—a reckless young boy, a lady in search of a husband, a centuries-old fairytale that holds more than a grain of truth... and a challenge that ends up being more than just a game.

Summary
There's a man that goes to the library Luz works in.
He takes the spiders that crawl in the walls or rest on the books carefully between his hands, and takes them outside. He wears colorful clothes and brings flowers to decorate the library.
She would look at him, at his long skirt, at his short t-shirt and the flower crown the kids made for him and wonder if he escaped one of the fairy tails he reads.

It's nearly Christmas, and a body is found by the side of the Isis, throat laid open and body mutilated. A crumbling house, a play by Euripides, and the worsening weather all conspire to make this a case that Morse won't soon forget.

Summary
“Merlin. Even if you’re … even if you’re right, it doesn’t matter. It’s too late. He’s going to kill me. And I—listen to me, you idiot. I don’t want you to watch. And I don’t want you to be next.”
or
After confronting Morgause's vision of his mother, Arthur rides for Camelot, intending to make his father pay for his hypocrisy. He falls short of luck, for the King has fallen back on the counsel of his faithful Witchfinder, Aredian, who is convinced that Arthur is not Arthur, the crown prince, but a changeling, bound to Morgause's will and let loose upon Camelot to usurp Uther of his crown.
As Arthur is dragged away to the dungeons, sentenced to a death by fire, Merlin must race against time to change the course of events which seem to spell out Arthur's demise. Time is scarce, however, and for all intents and purposes, it might be too late already.

Summary
“You burned me alive, as you burned me in every warlock I lived inside, in every sorcerer who asked my blessing. Your father slaughtered me by the hundreds and you by scores. Your weapon sought my throat always, and even when I lived beside you, in your service, I was forced to kill my own. I died by your word, Arthur, not the honor of your hand but the voice of your contempt. So Merlin died so Emrys died. You wonder why your fields grow ash and your cattle sicken and your people cannot conceive? You are responsible. I could not live in a land that had destroyed me.” His voice thickens, “I could not serve a man who wished me dead.”
The rulers of the five kingdoms ask magic to choose who will draw Caliburn and so rule Albion.

Summary
The pair of droids doing the decanting rinse and dry the babies straight out of the tube, making sure the weighing isn’t thrown off by any excess clinging fluid, and the clones are fluffy-headed and freshly clothed by the time the padded droid arms set them down in the pen, but it’s like the little bastards are trying to make up for their new totally dry environment by sliming the absolute shab out of everything they touch.

Summary
The Vizsla heir’s mind disintegrates. A nobody from Concord Dawn lays the groundwork for a Mandalore he will not live to see. His son buries his iron skin for someone worthier. A pacifist boxed in by wars foresees a collision between her ideals and their history, and wonders what it means to fight. Then it all falls apart. Her sister tries to pick up the pieces, but they are stolen before her eyes. On Concord Dawn, the son of an exile speaks to a stranger in his father’s tongue for the first time. Another nobody from the moon of Concordia takes the reins.
Seven vignettes from the Mandalorian Civil War, from its inception to its tentative conclusion; seven excerpts from the Supercommando Codex.

Summary
There are stories in her tribe.
They say the solstice stretches thin the veil between this world and the next. Glimpses of lost lovers out at sea, the laugh of a late father falling like snow, the cry of a stillborn never heard.
Katara, the wind says.
It is soft and so familiar, like trying to remember the blurry edges of a fading dream.
She turns towards the sea and there, just there in the sliver of space between the moments when the sun — almost too bright to look upon — breathes it’s last gasp across the ice, and when it dips below the horizon, appears a woman.
Her breath catches.
“Katara,” her mother says.
Or, Kya comes to visit to her daughter.

Summary
Horatio’s story, from before the beginning until the very end.
A medium-velocity-burn journey through the fluff-to-angst pipeline with a loyal, nerdy, prickly, laconic, and gentle person as a guide.
Expect complex backstories, wild canon divergences, sexually charged character development, and classics as a coping mechanism.
I always wondered how exactly someone seemingly so well-adjusted and self-sufficient as Horatio becomes so blindly devoted to someone like Hamlet?

“We are,” Din laughs. “Most would not consider it a compliment.”

Bookmarker's Notes
I really enjoyed the glimpses of Tusken culture we got in the Mandalorian, and again in TBOBF, so to see them expanded upon here (and so many paralells drawn w/Mandalorians!) is great. feel like the relationship is developed really nicely as well

Summary
Suffice it to say, Thomas did not like Mike. At all. On occasion his emotions had reached a fever pitch and he had attempted to confront the man directly by bursting into their bedchamber, but after the second time Alison had threatened a ban on the record player, and Thomas didn’t feel that he loved his outrage more than he loved the Cure.
Alison and Mike move into Button House and, completely unintentionally and totally by accident, teach the ghosts valuable lessons about life and love.
