As he waits for his train, ghosts that never really died have come to haunt him
Oh, if only love were enough.

Summary
Welcome to Camelot. For those of you just tuning in, I am your host, Dagonet. Come rain or storm or unrelenting stream of horrors being chased from their realm to untold possible other universes through ours, you can trust Camelot Radio for the most important news as it happens.
Camelot, an oasis town surrounded by wastelands, has always relied on a few things: Its Mayor will always be able to wield the sacred sword, Field Day is the absolute worst day of the year, the supernatural will always be a part of the town's fabric and the radio host, Dagonet, will always be there to keep Camelot looped into what's going on.
When longtime Mayor Uther is disgraced for working with the Fair Folk - a people whose magics are forbidden within Camelot's borders - an emergency election winner is a resident who was unaware he'd run. His name is Arthur, and this is just the beginning of the reign that turned Camelot upside-down.

Summary
Washington, D.C. area, early 21st century. Arthur Pendragon, after the most confusing two weeks of his life, is taken to Camelot Redux - Lancelot's house with far too many reincarnated knights crammed into it. They're lost, desperate to find meaning, and unsure about their place in the world despite the power of prophecy and magic. Some are hopeful, some are cynical, some are ambivalent. Everyone is is a broke millennial and just wants to put more than 1.5% in their 401(K).
Meanwhile, Galahad has his own small crew of exactly two (2) reincarnated queens and an unfortunate Knight-turned-werewolf, and they're on the hunt for Camelot. Galahad's time with the angels has left him with strange magic and baffling methods that, despite everything, work rather well.

Summary
Camelot has fallen, but there is a small Company of Knights who wish to see her and her King remembered as much better than they lived. Sir Kai has a personal stake in the stories. Sir Mordred seeks to redeem himself. Sir Galahad seeks adventure. Sir Bedivere is determined not to let his kingdom fall into obscurity. Together, they will use the magic inherent in stories to redirect the light history casts onto Arthur's time as Camelot's King.

Summary
Jaskier's student doesn’t see him when she skids into the tavern. Her friends are already present, drinking merrily, and she slaps their table so hard their tankards rattle.
“Have you heard?" She flashes a gossiper's secretive grin. "The White Wolf’s gone mad.”
After Geralt sends Jaskier away, Jaskier returns to Oxenfurt and builds a good (albeit unfulfilling) life there. He's fine—moving on, truly—until gut-wrenching rumors start to circulate that the White Wolf's lost his his mind. Jaskier's a bard. A truth-teller. He can't just let the rumors go unsubstantiated.

Summary
In some far distant future, Arthur heir Pendragon, Captain of the galley-class Kilgharrah and Prince of the Camelot, answers a distress call from the alien-besieged Ealdor. There, he finds Merlin, a plausibly-deniable sorcerer with an irresistible grin. This is the story of how the terraformation of planet Albion was threatened by the prejudices of the past, of finding solid ground and taking a stand, and of giving yourself reasons to trust.
A phantasmagorical space opera, high fantasy in a science fiction setting, this work includes cyborg Arthur, fighter-pilot Morgana, spectral dragons, Lovecraftian horrors, sentient spaceships, and a little bit of that kissing stuff.

Summary
As far as the rest of the world is concerned, Gary 'Eggsy' Unwin is a registered Dominant. It's on his driver's licence. It's on his National Insurance card. Hell, it's even on his bloomin' GCSE certificates. And the fact that it's all a load of bollocks is a secret Eggsy had intended to take to his grave.
Course, he hadn't been expectin' a bloody sub-drop to sweep in and knock him on his arse in the wake of the Valentine Massacre. Turns out grief and adrenaline ain't a good combination.

Summary
Originally written for a request for Junkrat having to save/look after Roadhog for a change. It was only intended to be three chapters long. Then the plot bit me and now, there are many more chapters. Mayhem and moose heads await.
It hadn’t been one of his bombs, which was the only reason he wasn’t completely hysterical. As it was, he was still babbling apologies over and over. He didn’t know what he was saying in his panic, but it was second nature that when things got ugly it must be his fault.
