Summary
“What, who do you think you are? The King?” Merlin asked incredulously when the alpha said he would throw him in jail - how cocky was this guy? His hopes of making it work were crumbling by the second.
“No, I’m his son. Arthur.”
Of fucking course. Because of course the best alpha Merlin had ever smelled would not only be a total prat, but would throw him on the pyre himself if he knew Merlin had magic, omega or not.
________________________________________________
Or: Merlin is an omega who pretends to be a beta to remain close to Arthur. If only he wasn't in love with the prat, it would be much easier to bear.

Summary
Twenty-first-century Merlin, tired of waiting for Arthur to return, travels back in time determined to make the best of a second chance in Camelot.

(Almost.)

Summary
Sirius was quiet for so long that James thought he might have fallen asleep. Then: “What if it’s a trick?”
“What kind of trick?”
“I don’t know. Dark magic. Or some kind of… revenge plot.”
James considered this. It would make sense—it would be easier—if Severus had returned as a villain. They could hate him cleanly then. Could fall back into old patterns.
But there had been nothing villainous in what they’d seen. Nothing that hinted at darkness or vengeance. Only a boy who’d somehow transmuted suffering into grace.- Language:
