(Number Three in the Paint it Black Series) When aliens invade, Earth's mightiest heroes unite again to defend mankind. But the aliens do not come to conquer, they come to take what they need...enhanced individuals. And within the Avengers, they have their pick of the best of them. Which leaves those left behind to put together a rescue unlike any other.

Tony looked at him, bold and true and utterly sincere, "Kid, I'm on your side, no matter what." Like most good things, it started with an accident. Well, kinda. This is a story about how a snarky, emotionally stunted genius became more than a mentor and how a just-trying-to-figure-it-out, superkid became the son he never had. No matter how empty our hearts are, love fills the gaps.

"Something came up," Tony says. "I had to make a detour on my way to our lunch meeting. I'm sorry you're gonna miss those bacon sandwiches you like but…" Tony trails off and jerks his thumb, indicating the back seat. Rhodey twists around and jumps. "Holy shit," he says, just shy of shouting it. (In which Tony is late for lunch with Rhodey and there's a good reason for it.)

They find James Barnes in the summer of 1977. Tony Stark is seven years old and impossibly smart, and it doesn't occur to James to measure time in any other way than in relation to Tony because, let's face it, Tony is one of the pillars upon which he rebuilt himself.

Post Civil War, sort of fix it. Tony is struggling with the rogues being back, but the team are family, and families work through problems. Team fic, with a side of TonyBucky. (Triggers for panic attacks and anxiety.)

(AU) The Avengers are NYPD detectives in Brooklyn's 99th precinct. They're pretty sure they have the brains, they're not really sold if they have the brawns, but at least they can confidently say that they're the New York's finest.

Tony is your average teenage hacker…at least, he thought he was. When a hacking job leads to a serious turn of events, Tony may find there is more to life than money. Faced with an all-to-knowing AI, a team of would-be superheroes, and villains out for his brain, what is a kid to do! WARNING Kid!Tony

Tony never considered himself a father to anyone, but when Peter is hit with an alien weapon and de-aged that's exactly what he needs to be.

After Tony is held against his will and attacked, he is left in pain and on edge. But he can't tell anyone the truth. In Avengers Tower, Steve, Bruce and Natasha try to help, while Tony struggles to cope, and vows to get revenge on his attackers. Mature themes but not too explicit.

SEQUEL TO PAINT IT BLACK. Peter Parker was rescued from Hydra's clutches, but not without great cost. Tony Stark and the Avengers must now work desperately to find a way to remove the alien parasite, Venom, from the teenager before it consumes him entirely, Peter struggles to fight against his dark descent, all the while Hydra lurks, eagerly waiting to reclaim their investment.

Merlin, Arthur. Geek, jock. Unpopular, popular. Homo, homophobe. Scorpio, Leo. All of their fighting was overcompensating for something. /merthur. AU- high school. dirty talk. Warnings for: homophobic and sexist language.

It's so easy to hate this man, so painfully easy. He's the embodiment of rich, white male privilege. And yet, here he is, building the guy who killed his parents an arm, without having been asked, just so he can correct the mistakes all of them made. She watches him go and sighs, small and tired, before texting a single line to Steve. Get ready to come home.

Iron Man is a vigilante, mercenary and murderer. He is also, quite clearly, Tony Stark; even if the authorities can't make it stick. Peter Parker is nearly four, dying, and Iron Man's biggest fan. They say there's no way Iron Man would come to his birthday party, but Steve isn't one to give up. Even if it does mean he has to go to dinner with a man he'd rather punch in the face.

The Avengers are broken and scattered across the globe after the events of Civil War. But when Peter Parker is taken by the very worst of humanity, Tony Stark will do whatever it takes to get him back, even if it means hunting down former friends and enemies to do it.

..

Peter's life shatters with a phone call. The last person he expects helps him pick up the pieces.

(Second in the Oh My Series) – The Avengers are trapped underground, being hunted, and unsure who is targeting them. As they walk the tunnels and fight mutant beasts who prey upon their weaknesses, they find out more about themselves and each other. Can they survive or will this become their final resting place? RIP Avengers. (Whump all around!)

The border between Camelot and Aquitane has been closed for decades. On one side, magic is evil and sorcerers hunted, on the other magic is unchecked, a natural part of every day life. But there are more dangerous secrets in Aquitane than either King Arthur or Legendary Emrys could ever foresee.

When Captain Arthur Pendragon of Camelot's starship Albion arranges a "vacation" for himself and First Navigation Officer Merlin Emrys by way of a strategic stranding, they have no way of knowing the events he's set in motion will send them spinning out to the far reaches of the galaxy. The adventure could either break their friendship or transform it into something new.

(First of the Oh My Series) Tony Stark, Clint Barton, and Steve Rogers have only one thing in common: They can't stand one another. So what happens when these three heroes get trapped underground for several hours and must work together to survive and ultimately escape? (Whump all around!)

'Somehow Arthur had managed to drag Merlin into his chambers before his shirt was ripped off- though Merlin had been certain that they wouldn't even make it as far as the corridor' Crown Council meetings were never the highlight of Arthur's day but what occurred during the breaks almost made it all bearable. Merthur smut with a smidge of fluff.

The footprints left in the softened mud he ran on staining golden, all the trees around him turning greener than the rest, the wind whipping his cloak making it look as if he was floating as he ran. The tingle was getting better but he knew he'd have to release a lot more magic before he would feel better.

Friday's primary objective at all times is to protect one Anthony Edward Stark. And she will fulfill that objective no matter what it takes. Even if it means including certain people she thought she would never have to deal with again. (Basically the rogue Avengers get some sense knocked into them with the help of Friday and handful of videos.)

Following on from Merlin's sudden awakening, the people in his life are forced to reassess their boundaries and while Arthur desperately fights to get his job back he discovers that his talents mean there is more to him that just his job title. And while all that goes on Arthur and Merlin still have to face what happened, and what they did for each other.

A traitor revealed, a plan foiled, all seems to be - wait, what the -? Merlin is a five year old! What's a king to do? Especially when his crazy half sister is trying to take over Camelot - again!

Merlin has disguised himself as a knight, a bandit, and even a woman. Now, he must become a prince. Arthur is the new king of Camelot and nobility comes from across Albion to celebrate his coronation - except one of them is planning something sinister. To find the villain before anyone is harmed, Arthur sends in Merlin – dressed as a visiting noble!

[Merlin Reverse Big Bang] Although the first meeting of betrothed princelings Arthur and Merlin does not go as planned, nor most of the following meetings, by the time Merlin is kidnapped a year before their wedding, Arthur is left distraught by the loss. For Merlin's kidnapper, there's only one plan: torture. And it's all going as expected. AU; Top Arthur / Bottom Merlin.

Really, for the safety of everyone, the Avengers are on Stark-watching duty. This is why they can't have nice things.

There is a strange cause behind Merlin's sudden seizures.

The year is 2016, and Merlin is still waiting for his king to return. Then an accident happens - he gets hit by a car. He survives, but he can't remember anything. With the help of a young writer, Agatha Black, he tries to find out what his name is and who he used to be. But what if Arthur returns? Can Merlin recognize him? And will he ever get his memories back? - Merthur

When a never ending drought plagues Camelot, Arthur and Merlin have bigger problems to deal with than pesky little things like feelings. Arthur and Merlin are clueless, and the Knights are tired of their bullsh#t...written for the Merlin Gift Exchange on AO3.

Arthur lived how he wanted. Exactly how he wanted. Unfortunately, as a prince, what he wanted didn't exactly follow the guidelines of what the rest of the world considered 'proper'. No one had the guts to do anything about it, however. No one until Nimueh. Thrown into decidedly impossible circumstances against his will and outside of his capacity to correct, Arthur is forced...

Tony was pretty used to crashing. It seemed like these days more often than not his return to earth in the Iron Man suit was at least somewhat out of control. He couldn't count the number of times he'd used a helpfully situated building to slow a wild descent. He was used to crashing, but he had a feeling crashing in the Quinjet, without his armour, was going to be a bit different.

Angry with all the UST in his life, Sam asks Gabe to do something about their brothers. The angel takes it a step too far and sends Dean through 100 destiel fanfics until Dean realizes that he should definitely make out with Cas. With the ghost of Charlie as his tour guide, Dean has to kiss 100 different Cas's before he can go home.

After the events of Civil War, Bucky wakes up, told by Steve that they need to leave. Everyone is coming for him. Everyone being Tony and Ross. Tony just wants some sort of closure, whether that involves Bucky dying, he isn't sure yet. Ross just wants the Winter Soldier, but his intentions aren't clear. All Steve knows is that he can't let Bucky be taken by either of them.

It began, as any shift in destiny did, with a choice - run and hide, or stay and fight. And because Merlin chose to stand still, his destiny and Arthur's - and others' - took a sharp right turn. Discovered by the knights, arrested by Arthur, Merlin faces Uther's questioner and judgment... Gold is, after all, refined in the flames... Mid-season 3 in-canon reveal.

Merlin was only a normal teenager with normal problems when he found out he was the son of a King. Along with royal duties, a protective brother, hounding paparazzi, and evil step-mother and step-sister, Merlin thought his life couldn't get any worse until he met the heir of the British Throne. Life sucks. Modern!AU

In order to choose between her suitors, Arthur and Lancelot, Princess Guinevere sets them a quest-challenge. Meanwhile, Merlin struggles to survive as the only male in Camelot for a century whose magic is strong enough to earn him citizenship. If Arthur redeems Merlin's debts, will Merlin accompany him on his quest to repay him with 'gold' of another sort? (no slash!)

It's no lie that Tony Stark is an impulsive individual who never stops committing the same mistakes until a lesson is learned. This, like many others, is one of those instances. [AU, M/M]

Arthur and Merlin travel to a nearby kingdom to sign a treaty that guarantees the safety of all sorcerers. But not everyone is so open to accepting magic into their lives. There are people who are against magic, and they would hurt Emrys to get what they want. And there are others still,waiting for a chance to settle an old grudge with Merlin. (almost all of the main cast are here)

Merman AU: Merlin accidently gets caught in his mischief making causing destiny to start unravelling itself.

Teamwork, bromance, friendship, family, hurt/comfort. Features Tony, Steve, Bruce, Clint, Natasha, Thor, and 20 other characters. Hurt!Clint Hurt!Tony Hurt!Steve Hurt!Bruce WHUMP WHUMP WHUMP

Two princes from very different kingdoms set out to destroy the same monster threatening both their peoples. A high seas adventure, with a dash of Greek mythology for fun! Part 2: "Heir of Aetlantys" - Arthur will need the help of his unique friend to reclaim something stolen from him.

What happens when the tragedy gets to much for Merlin? How will Arthur react? How will Kilgharrah? Can they save him?

For all the genius he was, it certainly took Tony a while to learn of this "sickness" within. He'd liked them on the same team and that wasn't normal. He could fight this, cure this! First he took Steve out of the equation. The liquor and sex came after. Just, Steve wouldn't leave him alone. And that made it so much worse. A Stony fic inspired by Hozier's "Take Me to Church".

The accredited and well loved movie "The Mummy" starring the Avengers. Steve and Bucky discover the map to Hamunaptra and contact Tony, a scorned genius who left his wealthy family to live his life, to lead them there. Once there the run into an ancient mummy with a grudge and an old tribe, lead by a man with breathtaking anger management issues. SLASH! Ye have been warned.

Arthur finds out Merlin's secret in the worst possible way. Set after 4x08 with the premise that Lamia incited the knights to greater violence than we saw on the show, and Merlin suffers from Post-Traumatic-Stress. Reveal fic, no slash. UPDATE: One-shot extended into a full-length fic, completed. Cover art by Phoebe594.

Morgana learns of all of this and decides that this is her time to attack. Camelot will be defensless without Emrys. Can Merlin forgive his friends in time to save Albion and his destiny?

modern AU. MerlinPOV. It was a normal day. I was going back home after work when I saw him. A god among humans, my idol, Excalibur. That was my chance, my dream come true. Too bad it turned into a nightmare. Slash (yaoi), Merlin/Arthur non-con/dub-con (more warnings inside)

Loosely based on the movie: Predator. The Avengers (including Thor) find themselves transported to an alien planet, that not even their resident Asgardian has heard of. They run into Loki while there, but there is no time for evil schemes or saving the day. Not when they are all being hunted, by something they can't even see.

"So. Sitrep. I'm stuck in a cave with no way to communicate to the outside world that I'm alive, and a couple of hundred feet of rock between me and help..." - Or, cave rescue, Avengers style. Takes place at some non-specific point in time after Iron Man 3 and before Age of Ultron. Established Steve/Tony, though it's mainly in the background.

"Your Father wanted a male heir so badly that he condemned a group of people to death. I shall take away what he wanted." The old sorceress cackled as she spoke words of the old religion and pointed the spell directly at the prince's chest. Reacting on instinct Merlin pushed the prince behind him and the spell hit him instead. When he regained consciousness he wasn't male anymore.

[Updated: 13/3/2015] Something in Camelot is making everyone very musical. Yes, that's right. Singing and Dancing Merlin style. But there is a reason as consealed desire must be faced in order to free them from the curse. Total Crack! Song Fic too. And Slash.

The super-serum leaves Steve with a messy amalgamation of both Omega and Alpha hormones that seem to have some... unforeseen side effects. They cause a misunderstanding that leaves a team at odds, and Tony & Steve will have to work things about between them or risk falling apart before they even get started. x-post from AO3. NSFW!

So far, Merlin has been living life like any normal guy. And now he's off to Uni where he meets Arthur Pendragon, Prince of the UK. His hate for royalty, however, doesn't give them a good start but eventually he falls for him and starts a relation with him.But there's one little problem - his mother hates royalty with a passion, even when her own son is one (Prince/Royal Merlin)

For the Cap/Iron Man Big Bang 2014. In which the Avengers reassemble and none of them are quite themselves because Loki decided it would be totally awesome to see what would happen if they all swapped bodies. Tony has had quite enough of this now, thank you. Steve just wants this all to be over so that he can think about possibly dating (read: confess his love for Tony).

It wasn't like Tony Stark had any real worries.He was dating Captain America,all the Avengers lived in Stark Tower & life seemed to be calming down.Or so they thought,who knew that with the return of Bucky Barnes,Tony would be kidnapped, tortured,& forced to depend on his team for his life, forcing Steve to make a decision that may cost someone their life...

On a dark and stormy night, Father Anthony Stark meets a demon.

[Merthur] Arthur and Merlin are clearly in love, but are unaware of it. The Knights of Camelot decide to fix this before it's too late. [M Rating for chapter 5 and chapter 10]

Steampunk AU. Whilst making repairs to his ship after a fight with pirates, Arthur discovers the terrible secret behind Camelot's aether power. M/A.

Five times Tony fellated food accidentally and one time he totally did it on purpose.

After decades of tyranny under King Sigan's rule, Arthur travels from his home in Balor to the city of Camelot in search of his friend's sister. On the way he meets Merlin, a seemingly idiotic commoner who is happy to question why those without magic are treated as second class to those with magic. Arthur/Merlin

For the Cap/Iron Man Reverse Big Bang. Of course it was all Richards's fault. If Tony can get through this with his dignity intact, then it's all good. What? No, he's not purring!

When Steve Rogers is awoken from the ice early, he is assigned as the personal assistant to Tony Stark, the man on TV with the strange glowing light in his chest. The plan was simple - protect and gain intel. It was supposed to be just another job, but then again, nothing in Steve's life has ever gone according to plan.

Merlin AU set in the Harry Potter universe. Merlin Emrys never knew he was a wizard until he received his letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Now, amidst new friendships, exciting classes and surprising new enemies, Merlin must discover his true legacy and save the school from the monster awakening within. (No significant character crossovers.) MerlinxArthur.

Arthur is in love with Merlin, not that he would ever tell. He didn't want to change what they had between them. Their life went on normally, untill a new knight showed interest in Merlin, not that the knight cared for what the warlock felt. Rated M for malexmale and violence in later chapters. Merthur.

Merlin is dead. No, really. He has just called the most powerful man in prison a prat. A prat he just happens to be cellmates with. Cue fireworks! *Prison!AU*

Hunger Games AU: In a twisted game where death seems the only certainty, Merlin will find himself tested in ways no one could have ever predicted - and may even find himself fighting for more than just his own life as he enters into an unlikely alliance with the Career tribute poised to win it all.

When Guinevere finds that she is unable to bear Arthur a child, Merlin offers her the perfect solution: an ancient spell, which can create a new life out of only the purest of loves. But what happens when it turns out that the love which brought the life in her womb into being isn't actually the love between Arthur and herself? Merlin x Arthur romance, canon era.

Merlin is missing for 3 weeks. When Arthur founds him he is beaten and broken. On the way back to Camelot they are attacked and Arthur nearly dies. Merlin saves him using Magic but at a cost. It is then Arthur's turn to save Merlin.

Modern AU. Psychiatrist Arthur Pendragon takes on a new patient, Merlin Emrys, who is the victim of a brutal crime. Arthur's professional and personal life clash as the case in question was investigated by none other than DCS Uther Pendragon.

Though he was chosen as sorcerer for Camelot's court when Arthur became king, Merlin can't trust in his abilities. Shifting into animals has never been accomplished before, but Merlin sets out to prove his worth to the kingdom. Arthur/Merlin

Derek takes the pack on a vacation weekend to a beach, where they share a house. Derek and Stiles are forced to share a room after Allison and Scott claim one room, and Lydia claims another for her and Jackson. This leads the two towards bonding and more.

AU – Arthur finally takes the chance to find Emyrs who is supposed to help him rule Camelot and was taken from the castle as a child. Could Merlin be the warlock Arthur is looking for or just an idiot intent on driving him crazy?

"I hope you are rolling in your grave brother, I will find your son, and I hope he is like you. I will ruin him and gain a lovely weapon in the process." Cenred spat on the grave, "I win Balinor." .Sequel posted.

AU. A cloaked man appears in Camelot and rescues those who have been sentenced to death by the King, his hatred for the Pendragon family obvious. However what happens when it's Uther's Son, Arthur, that's in need of help? Will he be saved?

Arthur doesn't appreciate Merlin, Merlin is sick of Arthur's mood swings, and the boys' relationship is at breaking point. Looks like it's time for some magical intervention to help them understand each other and realise what they've been missing.

In which Arthur is out of sorts. His manservant leaves a lot to be desired, Morgana is scary, Merlin's 'luck' is becoming too noticeable, his knights need to learn some lessons, and they're beginning to act very strangely. Arthur blames Merlin. COMPLETE
