    Summary

    Lord Capon is ten, and sulking. He's dressed in fine clothing and is scrubbed clean, plump and shining like a newly minted coin. But he has a haughty little turn to his head and a lazy, cruel look in his bright blue eyes. They’re the eyes of a boy who has never been hungry and who is often bored.

    Henry is still raw with grief from the death of his parents, and it makes him flinching and spiteful. He takes one look at Capon and wants to claw those blue eyes out.

    -

    Henry is orphaned young, and becomes Lord Hans Capon's childhood companion. As they grow, they become everything to each other, to their joy, and to their sorrow.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    If you think it’s been a good while since you’ve last cried that you’re unsure if you even still can, then this is the perfect fic to test out the ol’ tear ducts. I’d like to say that this caught me at an already-vulnerable time, but it really is just that rip-your-heart-out-of-your-chest, gut-wrenchingly sad. My cardigan is now covered in snot. Whyyy does it feel as if someone precious actually died, and I’m left viscerally reeling from the harrowing stasis of not only a lifetime of loss, but of a lifetime no longer shared. (; — ;) I can not read this again, lmaoo.

    Summary

    Lichtenstein cast a look about the room. “Where is he? He should join us as well.”

    “Curious, he was just here,” Henry said, scrambling to find the quickest way out. “But I also need a word with Sir Hans.”

    Hans looked up at him slowly, his gaze hazy with drink. “I love our talks.”

    Henry is jealous, but he knows just what to do to get Hans' full attention again.

    Summary

    Sir Hans Capon has grown into a lonely man. Sad, bitter, and far from the happy, mindless Lordling he used to be; having never found anyone to ever truly love him.

    Until Rattay gets a new Captain of the Guards. Henry of Skalitz- quiet, hardened by years of endless battles; having never met anyone to love after losing his home.

    They meet. And, throughout the months, they bring each other back to life again.

    Summary

    “You’re a real hero, Kit,” William cackles. “Saved Lord Capon’s life, you should be knighted for it.” He smacks a large hand on the younger man’s back, making him yelp.

    “What is he talking about?” Jacob asks.

    Thomas shakes his head, “It’s a story some of the soldiers tell-“

    “Lord Capon is cursed,” William interrupts. “The Black Knight will have his revenge!”

    ...

    Outsider POV. Lord Hans Capon leads a company of men on a long march to Moravia. It's going just fine until a bandit steals his armor, and now all of Bohemia thinks he's dead.

    Summary

    When Henry found out one of the biggest tournaments in Bohemia would be held in Kuttenberg in a couple days he decided to sign up. As a faceless black knight.

    After all, Hans was busy charming local lords and he had nothing better to do.

    What he didn't expect was that the black knight would catch his lord's attention. Nor that he wouldn't be able to stop himself from responding.

    Summary

    “Maybe—maybe Lily is sleeping,” she says. Bargaining, she realizes numbly. She’s bargaining for more time. And for whatever is unfolding here to stop unfolding and in fact fold itself back up. Her thumb shifts away from the call button. “And you should be sleeping too, mister.”

    “He’s not sleeping.” Shane flares his nostrils—another gesture Yuna hasn’t seen in so many years. “He’s waiting for me to call a third time. Mom. Please. He’s—he’ll be so worried.”

    Yuna shifts her thumb and lets it drop. Is Yuna a bad mother if she hopes "Lily" doesn’t pick up?

    -x-

    or: Shane needs to call someone the night he's laid out by Marlow, and Yuna reflects on her quietly, obsessively devoted son.

    The first was an accident, although it did not make the words any less true.
    The second was a surprise, Kaeya made sure of it.
    The third was successfully tempting, in his opinion at least.
    The fourth he used to escape. It also came with a promise.
    The fifth arrived by a letter along with a request.
    The sixth need not to be said at all. He did so anyway.

    Summary

    "You can take Daisy out to fetch the cloak-"

    "How do you know that?"

    Arthur closed his eyes, expression riddled with irritation before turning to look at Merlin expectantly.

    "Know what?"

    “The mare I use. You know I call her Daisy? I never told you that." Merlin explained. Arthur stared for a few moments. He could see the flicker of emotions pass easily over him. Anger, annoyance, exasperation, indignance, and finally acceptance...AKA the Five Stages of Grief (Pendragon Edition).

    "You talk to the horse.” He pointed out. Merlin narrowed his eyes.

    “I whisper to the horse."

    "...am I supposed to not hear it?” Arthur asked. Merlin wondered how likely it would be that he also heard him whispering magical spells if he heard him murmuring to the bloody horse. “Also, only you would choose such a ridiculous name.” He muttered. Merlin swallowed. This wasn't a problem at all, right? Right.

    Or

    Merlin knows Arthur well. Better than he knew himself apparently. What he hadn't expected was for Arthur to know his servant just as well... This causes problems. (also known as "The Time Merlin Had a Mental Breakdown Over Arthur Being a Normal Human")

    Summary

    Prompt (story diverges from this)
    Arthur is being tested.

    A sorcerer makes a few dozen copies of Merlin.

    Sorcerer: if you're really that good of a king, then you'll figure out who the real one is.

    Arthur thinks it's easy. But all of these Merlin's seem to have a quirk of Merlin's intensified. It makes things difficult, because Merlin has days when he acts exactly like that.

    Only one thing he knows for sure. It's definitely not the one who just defeated one of the other Merlin's with magic.

    Excerpt:
    Arthur reached for his sword, just in case. “What do you want me to do? Figure out which the real Merlin is?”

    “Exactly.” The mercenary’s eyes glinted with mischief and he suddenly looked much more like a threat. “These Merlin’s have been designed, based on YOUR thoughts about him,”

    Arthur immediately flushed

    Summary

    After witnessing Merlin use magic during Arthur’s fight with Valiant, Arthur is shocked to see how obvious Merlin is with his magic over the next few months. Even more shocking, Merlin thinks that Arthur somehow doesn't know.


    Or the one where Merlin is oblivious to the fact that Arthur knows about his magic.

    Summary

    “I have come to bring you a message, Uther Pendragon. That child is an abomination, a product of the corrupted use of magic. The Disir have spoken. They have prophesied that a child will come who will be the opposite, who will be pure magic made flesh and who will free the world from the tyranny of the Pendragon and the stain they have left on this land. Their name will be Emrys, and they will be destined to bring an end to your dynasty. Emrys is your son's destiny, and also his doom."

    Or:

    AU where everything is more or less the same except Merlin’s destiny is to kill Arthur.

    Or:

    Merlin was born to kill Arthur. Instead, he falls in love with him.

    Summary

    Arthur is relieved when Balinor the Dragonlord agrees to help, but dismayed when he refuses to come back to Camelot. Instead, Arthur is stuck waiting in the middle of nowhere while Balinor calls the dragon. To make matters worse, Arthur’s idiot manservant clearly has a massive crush on the guy: despite him being a grumpy, straggly, cave-dwelling sorcerer, who makes terrible cabbage pottage, Merlin hasn’t taken his eyes off him! Arthur will tolerate this nonsense for a couple of days, but only because he must save Camelot.
