    Summary

    “You don’t seem like a king.”

    Arthur lowered the scroll onto his lap and peered over at the child, curious and maybe a little offended. “Why not?”

    Merlin shrugged. “You don’t sound like a king, for one.”

    “And pray tell, Merlin, how is a king supposed to sound?”

    “I don’t know,” he muttered. “Strong. Powerful.” Suddenly Merlin sat up straight, puffing his chest out and pinching his face into a rugged scowl. His voice pitched low, sounding odd in his young body. “My name’s Arthur Pendragon,” he imitated theatrically.

    Arthur couldn’t help his amused snort at his antics. “Wrong," he said, returning to the scroll. "A king doesn’t have to say his name, the people would already know it.”

    Merlin smiled, a teasing gleam in his eyes. “A good king doesn’t,” he mumbled under his breath, obviously still intending for Arthur to hear.

    “The only reason I don’t ‘sound like a king’ is because I have to put up with all your insolence.”

    That gloating smile grew on Merlin’s lips and Arthur knew he was going to lose this battle. “A good king wouldn’t put up with that either.”

    Summary

    "Get away from her!" the girl snarled at Merlin, trying to sidestep Hunith.

    "You get away from her!" snapped Merlin. "You're the one waving a sword around!" He didn't have much room to maneuver, and it was ridiculous for him to be hiding behind a woman who was a fraction of his size. But Hunith was clearly trying to stay between them, and he had no particular desire to jump in front of someone who wielded a sword with that much fervor.

    "Morgana, listen to me! He isn't dangerous!"

    "Are you mad?" Morgana backed up two paces, though she still held her blade at the ready. "That's a bloody dragon!"

    Summary

    Jim held a piece of their future in his hands... One of the last fragments of the Killahead Bridge.

    As a Changeling, he should be jumping for joy!

    Unfortunately, fate had other plans in the form of some meddlesome trolls that just wouldn't mind their own business, a human boy who desperately wanted to be his friend for some reason, and an amulet that decided to give him a death sentence.

    No one really asked Jim what he wanted in all of this... but he'd figure it out along the way, when Bular wasn't trying to rip his legs off.

    Summary

    Jim remembered fire.

    A violent blaze that overtook his home, snuffing out the life he knew. Glowing, golden eyes with slit pupils watching in the darkness; the stone-skinned monsters that stole everything from him.

    Barbara Lake died that night, and James Lake Jr. died with her.

    AU where Jim's father was a Changeling, so in order to hide his abominable mistake, the Order sets fire to his home, leaving Jim an orphan half-changling child... or an excuse to write a feral Jim after reading the book.
