Summary
For nearly fourteen years, Kouyou has led the Port Mafia; for two, she has been the sometimes ill-fit guardian of young Izumi Kyouka, thrust unexpectedly into Kouyou’s life after her biological parents’ deaths. Over each of those two years, a greater deal of adjustments have been made than in the preceding twelve total. Settling into a comfortable rhythm has taken time and effort, but they’ve tentatively managed it—and then that delicate balance again comes under threat in the first month of Kyouka’s first year of junior high.
Kouyou, too, seems to be entering a new stage in her life. From grappling with the fact that she can’t always protect Kyouka from harm to dismissing the long-discarded ideas that come of her chance encounters with Yosano, Kyouka’s school physician, to handling odious business associates, the responsibilities Kouyou must juggle are ever-increasing. As the seasons change, she may find herself needing to do the same.
(A year in the life of the Ozaki-Izumi household and its visitors, old and new. In which families are made, the opposite of meet-cutes are had but things still work out eventually, and growth is a constant process.)

Summary
There is no safety in Morgana's arms. Morgana makes her angry, and afraid beyond that, because Gwen thinks of Morgana with her unrelenting, cruel righteousness and feels something stirring in the space beneath her ribs, an echo of the fury she has buried since she came of age. She thinks of Morgana, and her tongue breaks, and her skin feels too tight and too small to contain her.
It is Ygraine who asks Nimueh to help her conceive a child born of magic, and though she knows what will come to pass, Nimueh is powerless before Ygraine's desires.
Decades later, that same child rules over a Camelot haunted by its past. The kingdom is besieged from without by a powerful Morgana seeking justice, and from within by its own broken laws. Gwen and Merlin stand at Arthur's side in his bitter war against his sister, but as their secrets come to light, Gwen must grapple with her gravitation towards the woman she once served. In the face of the slow dissolution of her world, Gwen finds herself confronting what she has long tried to bury in the name of loyalty: the power of grief, the force of anger, the weight of women's love and women's hunger.

Summary
Golden, beautiful, charming, pompous Arthur, drawing everyone to him like moths to a flame. She thinks of how he is the only other person in the world who understands what it's like to be Uther Pendragon's child, to crave the approval of that looming shadow and want to break free of it in the same breath. She hates him. She hates him. She hates him.
It’s only part of the truth, even now.

Summary
Everybody lives, post-finale AU. Arthur/Merlin, Morgana/Gwen. Arthur reaches Avalon, and makes a choice that changes everything.
Morgana crests the hill, that last hill between her and the lake of Avalon, just in time to see Merlin cast off his boat from the shore, Arthur leaning against his side: bloodied, weak, alive. In a matter of seconds, the boat crosses the border between this world and the next and enters Avalon, traveling beyond Morgana’s reach.
Her shriek of rage flattens the woods around her for twenty feet in every direction.

When it's over – when the sounds of guns and bombs and swords and spears have faded into the screams of their victims – they find themselves standing on the battlefield, breathing in the smoke and the vaporized blood and watching the sunlight filtering through the trees. Mount Weather has been cracked wide open, its prisoners released and its jailers made prisoner, and all that remains is for the victors to collect the spoils.
