Summary
Merlin is a transfer student in his new university, and so far, he is making great friends with a circle of people; the only one who seems to have any issue with him is a young man named Arthur. Forced to be chemistry partners by Arthur's sister and fellow classmate, Morgana, Arthur and Merlin find themselves constantly brought together by their mutual friends. The result of such bonding, remains to be seen.
Arthur comes from a broken and emotionally abusive home, but he ultimately finds solace in the annoyingly optimistic and artistic Merlin, whose reasons for transferring schools are shrouded in mystery.

Summary
“What drew me to you in the first place – is the way you move, Izuku.”
Katsuki skates toward him, gets close again. He grips Izuku’s chin and holds his head in place so he can continue gazing firmly into his eyes.
“It’s dark,” quiet, these words are. “Far darker than anything you’ve been given. Something burns in you, something the ice can soothe if you allow it. If you know how to let it soothe you.”
Katsuki’s thumb presses hard into Izuku’s chin as he tightens his grip and tugs Izuku closer by his face.
“I’m going to bring you to your full potential. And you will be the best.”
Alternatively: Two years after his sudden disappearance, Izuku's skating idol, Bakugou Katsuki, returns to the ice.

Summary
Fate is a fickle mistress – or rather, the Fates are. When the Wyrd Sisters offer Nimueh a second chance to fulfill her destiny, she takes the opportunity to seek revenge on Merlin. When Uther enters the equation, Nimueh's victory seems certain. Loyalties and allegiances are tested, making Merlin question the lengths that Arthur will go to in order to protect him. Through daring escapes, attempted coups, and fierce battles, Merlin and Arthur discover that the twisting threads of fate are not easily understood, and that the webs they spin cannot be readily escaped.

Summary
For a split second that lasts eons, Arthur exists in that horribly weightless space before gravity conquers, and then he's falling. Distantly, he hears Merlin cry out his name in panic, and then he’s bracing himself for impact.
An impact that never comes.
Silently hoping, begging, for anything but what he knows he’s about to see, Arthur turns his head to look.
And sees Merlin, hand outstretched, and eyes ablaze with gold.
***
Faced with the revelation of Merlin's secret and a sudden internal war between duty and sentiment, Arthur must make a decision that will affect both of their fates. And when Merlin is gravely injured, the time to make that decision rapidly dwindles. Arthur must quickly choose what matters most: the demands of the law, or those of his heart.

Summary
“It’s pretty simple, really,” said Harvey. “This group convenes here at ten o'clock on the first Friday of every month. We play poker – dealer’s choice – for the next four hours. We play for money, but to make things more interesting, the overall winner of the night also takes home the jackpot.”
Mike glanced around the table, but found no clues forthcoming, so he asked, “Jackpot?”
“Haven’t you guessed yet? That would be you.”
Mike opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

There had been a foolish, selfish thought flickering in the back of Mike's brain over the past few weeks that maybe Harvey was doing this just as an excuse to get a little closer to him. That wasn't the case at all.
