Summary
As Izuku was in the kitchen making the batter for her promised apple pie, Eri was watching adoringly, swinging her legs back and forth at the counter. The residents of Height Alliance had noticed that while she loved both Izuku and Togata-senpai, it was obvious she utterly adored Izuku more. That simple fact caused no small amount of perplexion amongst them. Seeing as Izuku couldn’t hear anything over the general noise of the cooking appliances and his own humming, Mina finally asked the burning question they’ve all been harboring.

Summary
Arthur Pendragon has finally claimed the throne, but the crown is heavier than he imagined. Weary of the relentless pressure from the Council to marry and secure an heir, he turns to the only person he trusts for an escape. Merlin, eager for a reprieve from the stifling court and a chance to visit Hunith, readily agrees to a journey to Ealdor. However, their quiet retreat is shattered when they stumble upon a lone child in the depths of the woods—a discovery that changes everything.
Or
Deep in the woods on the way to Ealdor, Arthur and Merlin stumbled upon a lone child. Though they took her in out of necessity, Arthur saw it as an opportunity, a life where he, Merlin, and this child could finally be a family.

Summary
The folklore tales are wrong about oracles. Entranced by power, they miss the details.
Oracles do not predict the future for the future is not a stagnant thing to claim. What oracles truly do is far sinister. Arthur learns of this when he is cursed to transform into a beast on four legs. He cannot lift this curse without choosing between his manservant and the king of Camelot. Bring magic back to Camelot, or kill his father in the darkest moment of the curse.
The stories are right about one thing though. There cannot be peace without bloodshed.

Summary
After revealing his magic, Merlin promised his king that he would tell him if he was hurt or needed help. The aftermath of an assassination attempt sent him, injured, stumbling into Arthur's chambers to fulfill his promise. Once he did that, he figured he could finish getting ready for the visiting delegation and wrap up his chores. He wasn't sure why Arthur was being so weird about it. He was only lightly shot.
Based on the prompt:
"I have to tell you something."
"Can it wait? I'm busy."
"It's urgent."
"Okay, fine. What's so important that you had to interrupt me?"
"I've been shot."
"Why didn't you lead with that?"Series
