Summary
Traitor. Merlin. Magic. Merlin. Traitor. Friend. Sorcerer. Merlin.
The words seemed to lose their meaning the more Arthur tried to make sense of them, bleeding in and through each other like ink dissolving in water. The only fact he knew to be true – absolutely, permanently, irrevocably true – was that Merlin was dead.

Summary
When Azula is nine, she becomes an only child. She hears the Fire Lord call for Zuko's life, and in the morning, her mother and brother are gone. Azula may be young, but she isn't naive. She knows what happened to them.
Which makes it all the more surprising when Azula tracks the Avatar down and fights his group of peasant friends, only to find herself staring into an eerily familiar face.

Summary
Preserum Steve (I'm going with the comics version, thin/sickly/tall) meets pre-arc reactor Tony (I'm going with the movie version-I love puppydog brown eyes).
They don't quite admit falling in love with this other flawed person who just seems to fit so well... but they don't quite deny it.
When Iron Man and Captain America meet, they fight the attraction because HEY, I've GOT a boyfriend... but... I like you, too. Things get incredibly complicated, but it all works out in the end.

Summary
When what should have been a straight forward mission in Hell's Kitchen goes pear shaped due to lack of communication, teaching his teammates sign language seems like a logical step to Clint. Communication when their comms are down - great plan! And including the local vigilante, who's been working closely with them on this, is a real no-brainer.
Until it turns out said vigilante is an asshole that thinks sign language is beneath him, judging by the way he's stubbornly refusing to learn it.
(Conversely - Matt's trying, he really is but damn it, those two signs are exactly the same... what do you mean they mean completely different things?!)

Summary
“Okay, heartbreaker,” he says, “how much to put the tires back on the car?”
Jason rolls his eyes and gestures at him with the lug wrench. “Why don’t I just beat you up and steal your money? Is this the first time you’ve been to a bad part of town? Don’t show me your wallet, asshole. Come on.”
The man heaves a heavy, aggrieved sigh and starts pulling out bills. “Five hundred?” He tries. “Six? We can go to an ATM.”
“You are mugging yourself,” Jason says, oddly impressed. “Holy shit.”

wait I didn't already have this bookmarked what was I thinking the 5th time I reread this fic without bookmarking it, @me it's called pattern recognition, yr going to want to read it again. smdh.
anyway, fic is great, love this take. Jason might not be a vigilante but he's still very much Jason.
(look I just want him to be happy)
curse this fic for getting me into a ship with such a tiny fandom

Summary
As the resident witch of a nameless town on the fringe between civilisation and the lawless dragonlands, Neil has made himself a nice little home. He is safely anonymous, and two mountain ranges away from the family who made his life hell. He has work, friends, even an occasional lover in one of the dragon-herders when he’s in need of company. But his comfortable routine and home are all threatened with rumours of a danger to the dragon herds, something hurting and killing them without explanation. As a witch raised on his father’s cruel breeding farm, he could be the only one to find the cause of it, and to treat it. But doing so may start a deadly chain-reaction to destroy all he has built, and all those he holds dear.

Summary
Harry isn’t the Boy-Who-Lived, but his parents still died, and Albus Dumbledore, concerned that Death Eaters might seek the boy’s death, cast a powerful charm on him to make wizards ignore him before Harry was left with the Dursleys. Except, with the Elder Wand in play, the charm was far too powerful, and made others essentially forget Harry existed when not directly interacting with him. Sorted into Ravenclaw at Hogwarts, Harry lives a contented life with no one either loving or hating him…until the charm breaks on his seventeenth birthday, and he’s suddenly plunged directly into the middle of a living world at war.

Summary
Where the loss of ignorance is more valuable than the knowledge gained, and Edward figures out the source of alchemy a lot sooner than before.
"Edward has cockroaches under his skin and leeches in his veins. He's vibrating and bursting and his body is too small, too big, doesn't fit quite right. He needs Al to know - needs to tell someone, anyone, but he will cut out his own tongue before he burdens anyone else with this knowledge."
