Summary
Morgana Smith née Pendragon is very proud of her literary papers about Arthurian Legend. She's quite put out when one M. Emrys starts writing take-downs of all of them, and she spends a lot of her time complaining to her wife about it or writing refutes.
Merlin Emrys does not like this Morgana Smith person's opinions one bit, and he makes it his goal in academia to disagree with her. This gets both easier and harder when he ends up at the same university as her, working through his final semester before presenting his dissertation. At least he's got his boyfriend to try to help him through it. A boyfriend that just so happens to be Morgana's brother.
Oh bother

Taehyung’s hand falls away from Namjoon’s thigh.
Or:
(Taehyung is in love with Namjoon, who he cannot have. Jungkook and Namjoon are engaged. Jungkook is too sweet to hate so Taehyung falls in love with him as well.) -

Summary
He can usually work at home for an hour before he realizes that he’s flopped on the couch sideways, fucking around on his phone. Scrolling through Instagram, trying not to accidentally click on a student and then get stuck in an algorithmic hellscape of 19 year olds’ profiles.
There’s a student who wants to fuck him, bad. Like, loudly advertising his cam shows bad. Lip biting bad. “Daddy” bad.
He never pictures the kid when he’s getting off, not once, but it turns him on just to feel that desirable.
----
The one where the gang's a bunch of depressed, hard partying college professors. This one's gonna be a slow slog through winter, my friends. Sterek forthcoming in chapter 2.
