Theory In Practice

by thingswithwings

"All right," the young woman says, brushing herself off briskly, apparently undaunted by the half-dozen Water Tribe guards who moved to surround her the moment she came through the portal. "Take me to your library."

Better Teamwork Through

by LulaMadison

A fill for this prompt on Avengerkink: "One big redemption arc later, Loki is no longer the enemy, but Thor is pretty much the only Avenger to trust or like him. When Odin requests the Avengers' presence on Asgard he orders a very reluctant, resentful Loki to do it instead, since Loki has a very unique knowledge of the secret paths between the Nine Realms. Unfortunately, Loki generally takes the ... scenic route between dimensions. So he has to guide six egotistical, volatile superheroes through the Nine Realms and all its otherworldly dangers, and somehow get them to Asgard alive. Thor is delighted - inter dimensional road trip! Magnificent quests! The perfect bonding experience for his BFFs and little brother! Everyone else ... less so."

The Search for Victory

by Morena_Evensong

While the US government hunts for Hydra in their ranks, all SGC operations are stalled. But the Ori's armies are still coming and Earth isn't any closer to coming up with anything that can stop them. Frustrated, Daniel takes a vacation, makes a few friends and accidentally uncovers a clue to what could be an Ancient weapon. Against protocol, against orders, he and his gathered knights errant (because they refuse to let him go on his own) set out on a desperate quest. But unlike medieval stories, their goal is neither fame, fortune, nor a beautiful princess. Instead, their quest is a race against time to find a way to save Earth.

Merlin (TV)

Bear With Me

by RinHaruismyOTP

As they made their way out of Gaius’ chambers, Merlin hit his leg on the table, the sound of the table leg scraping across the ground ringing out loud in the silence of the room. Arthur jumped, eyes wide, and Merlin grinned sheepishly. “Ah, sorry.”“Be quiet, idiot,” Arthur snapped, and Merlin’s grin dropped.***Merlin's woken in the middle of the night by Arthur, who is acting suspiciously and will give no indication of what's happening.

Merlin (TV)

Vampire knights

by Actually_Athena

It is a normal day in Camelot. Arthur has been regent for a while now and everything is at peace. That is until they discover several bodies. All the victims are drained from their blood, but the only wounds are two little ones in their necks. Arthur and the knights (and Merlin of course) decide to follow a track that might lead them to the culprits.But all might not be what it looks like. What if it is all a trap? What if they are severly underestimating their enemy? When all goes to hell, the lifes and sanity of Arthur and the knights come to rest on Merlin's shoulders. And the sacrifices he has to make to keep his friends safe are piling up in an never ending tower, however much the knights try to stop them. Eventually they are all wondering how the hell he is still alive.Arthur really should have brought the whole army. Or at least left Merlin home.Basically a lot of whump and arthur and the knights getting their heads out of their arses and realise what Merlin means to them (finally).Rated T cause of the lot of whump
