Summary
Ancient Melody: An old druidic slang term referring to the Call to Destiny. All people will experience this calling at some point in their lives, with many druids describing this as sounding like an enchanting song. Those who try ignoring it will often find that they cannot do so for very long.
A travelling bard is a wonderful guise for a druid. They go wherever they wish, never staying in one place for long enough to be found out. However, like all druids, Wren has avoided Camelot like to plague for fear of being caught.
However, when she learns Merlin, her childhood best friend, is in Camelot after his own Call to Destiny, Wren decides it’s time to go too.
She’s been ignoring her destiny, her call for far too long out of fear. But now, she knows it’s time to listen. Time to follow that Ancient Melody to Camelot and see where it leads her.

Summary
AU. The Potter twins survive Voldemort’s attack. However, Albus Dumbledore knows that the root cause of the war, pureblood bigotry and hatred against Muggles and Muggleborns, will endure even if Voldemort never returns. He therefore asks Lily and James to send one of their sons to grow up in the Muggle world while training the other to battle Voldemort, so that together the twins can smooth over the differences between the magical and Muggle worlds in the political arena. And perhaps it might have worked, if not for abusive Dursleys, Harry’s inability to fit into the magical world or his family when he learns of his heritage, and a boy named Theodore Nott.

Summary
In 1867, Tony Stark flees New York after refusing to marry the alpha his parents chose for him. His money runs out in the small kingdom of Dacia, ruled over by King Steven of the Rogers line. Somehow, and he’s not entirely sure how, he ends up accepting the position of nanny to the king’s four children: Harley, Peter, Sarah, and Morgan.
Tony bonds with the children easily but their father is harder to get to know. Steve is still grieving his wife’s death four years earlier. His continued mourning has turned the once bright halls into dark and somber shadows of their former glory. Tony isn’t entirely certain what he can do but he knows that he has to do something or else the whole country, so attuned to their leader, will sink into despair. He begins by reconciling the king with his young children.
Meanwhile, the children have decided that it’s high time their father fall in love again—and Tony is the obvious choice. They concoct elaborate plans to force the two together, hardly realizing that Steve and Tony are falling in love, not through their shenanigans but through the quiet moments they share bonding over the love they have for the children.
