    Summary

    Master-Hyde bonds. Tether shenanigans. Gratuitous sexual tension. Whether enemies-to-lovers or childhood friends-to-lovers, Wednesday Addams and Tyler Galpin have a connection to each other that will only grow more intense as time goes on.

    “You and Tyler didn’t just meet by chance. You were drawn together. The universe doesn’t make many things inevitable, Wednesday, but you two— you would have found each other. I can see the string. Not only in this life. I think in another, too. Perhaps in most lives, if the fates are to be believed. The tether is just a manifestation of that inevitability. There’s a word for that, spoken too frequently for how rare and precious it really is. Soulmates.”

    Summary

    “You-” Ygraine said, stepping up to point a finger in Uther’s face. “You are a liar and a murderer. The fact you think someone as sweet and caring as Vivienne is destined to marry you is a tragedy in itself, but if you expect me to hand over my brother’s rightful claim to Camelot’s throne-”

    My claim to Camelot’s throne,” Uther threw back, face growing more red as Arthur looked between his parents in utter bewilderment. Merlin didn’t blame him. He had envisioned Uther and Ygraine’s love story to be more… well, less based in war and battles.

    Ygraine’s eyes narrowed as she grabbed a goblet of wine and threw it in Uther’s face. A few of the guards shifted, but Uther only raised a hand to pause them, spitting out the wine with furious eyes.

    “You,” Ygraine said coldly. “Are unworthy to sit upon a stool, let alone a throne.”

    From a few feet away, Balinor scoffed as he sipped from his own goblet. “I kind of like having her as a hostage, Uther. She livens up the place.”

    Or

    In a desperate attempt to save Arthur at Camlann, Merlin tries to reverse time. It works perhaps a tad too well.

    Summary

    Kidnapped and banished at a young age, Merlin is a prince without a crown or kingdom. Though raised with magic and sword by his side, he faces a tumultuous path that takes him to Camelot and brings with it a destiny he never believed in. But at every turn he faces the consequences of his actions, unwilling as they might be, and his two secrets—magic and his dusty title— have never been close to tearing apart the life he built for himself in Camelot until a letter finds its way into Arthur's hands.

    And the two lives Merlin has led begin to bleed together.

    Summary

    Whatever the case, she was here, and that was his chance — one he would be a fool not to take. He had let his darkest emotions win too many times before, and always lost because of it. So now Tyler held back the urge to refuse her outright. To yell, to sneer, to threaten. He had always known how to play wicked games, turning her rules into his own. Why not play again?

    The story of how just a few phrases could have changed the plot of the second season.
