Summary
Merlin had failed. Despite all his efforts, Arthur had ended up dead in his arms on the shores of Avalon, so close to salvation. Surely, this could not be how their shared destiny was supposed to end? No, it was all Merlin’s fault—he had made all the wrong choices, misinterpreting prophecy after prophecy. If only he could go back and try again, now that he knew better, maybe he could right his wrongs. Maybe he— Oh. Maybe he could go back…
Ignoring Kilgharrah’s protests about the impossibility of what he aimed to do, Merlin let all his power loose, becoming one with the fabric of the world and the magic he was born of. After following the bond he shared with Arthur through the winding paths of time, he finally emerged a decade into the past, having successfully seized a second chance to get this whole destiny thing right. Unfortunately, he would have to win Arthur’s trust all over again, seeing as Merlin was alone in remembering anything of the future he was hoping to change. Or…was he?

Summary
When the attempt at healing Uther backfires and kills him instead—thereby reinforcing Arthur’s hatred of magic—Merlin decides that the time has come to give up on destiny and leave Camelot before he can make things even worse.

"Second. You must never enter the northern wing of the estate, no matter the time of day. That space belongs to the young master and you are strictly forbidden from setting foot on those grounds. Not even the servants may enter without explicit permission."

Leaning Out for Love by How_Deep_the_Grave
Fandoms: Agatha All Along (TV), Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel (Comics), Legion (TV 2017-2019), Parks and Recreation (TV)
29 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
It's a simple proposition: Agatha Harkness, heir to a small branch of the old but faded Salemite coven, will be handfasted for two years and two months to Rio Vidal, heir to the noble First Coven. Hopefully in that time the two will produce at least one child to be heir to both covens, and when the time has passed, they can choose to remain together or part and co-parent. If and when their child outlives them, Agatha's coven—like many before—will be absorbed into the First and the child will be the leader of the most powerful and ancient coven in the world.
Of course, thanks to her mother, Agatha has little say in the matter, but she comforts herself with knowing the handfast will be short in duration. Once she meets her intended, however, she begins to have thoughts of a more permanent nature.

Gon looked again. “The rope... Why three?”
Killua shrugged, “Well, blue is for strength of ‘union,’ red for ‘love’ and ‘passion,’ and then gold for… ‘longevity.’ I… I know I’ve said it before, but… I do love you. I don’t think that will ever change.
“‘Forever’ is for mortals, but… I always think ours goes beyond that.” He paused, staring at Gon before grinning. “Well, for now. If we keep getting attacked by monsters like this, I may need to rethink a few things.”
Gon pouted, feeling the heat on his nose and cheeks. “I’m not letting another *anything* bite me, except for you.”
