Summary
What if Jim used his second chance a little more sensibly? What if he knew better than to leave everything to chance? So, he promised himself to intervene only once. Only one time, because now he doesn’t have any armor or a big sword to back him up. He only has his memories … and he will not give them to just anyone.

Summary
A six-part story that is heavily influenced by T.S. Eliot's "The Hollow Men." It is highly recommended to read that first but no prior knowledge of it is necessary for this fic. This was written to fill the lack of terror/suspense fics for this fandom.

Summary
The Camelot Library and Archive of Arcane and Magical Artifacts' board has a new director and a new member. Merlin, the head librarian, is unimpressed by the flagrant nepotism. He is also unimpressed by the new board member's arrogance, looks, and attitude. Especially his looks. Especially unimpressed! He isn't affected at all. Nope. Not one bit.
When the new director asks Merlin and Arthur to track down a (possibly cursed) legendary dagger, neither looks forward to working together. But amidst death omens, Druid rituals, and global conspiracies, the reluctant colleagues are drawn together by a force beyond their control. It could be Morgana, or it could be destiny.
If collection development was this exciting or sexy, we'd have a lot more people in LIS.

Summary
The Herald and the Prophet. Earthlings. To make it in this new world, they will have to work together. And not die. The Prophet's convinced that everything the universe over is trying its best to prevent just that. The not dying part, that is. There's no such thing as coincidence and more than one person's doing the creeping. Keep your friends close and your sketchy, elfy mentors closer.
At least they understand each other's jokes.

Summary
[In military science, Force Multiplication is an attribute or a combination of attributes that multiplies the effectiveness of a soldier or weapon, giving a small number of troops or individuals the ability to accomplish greater tasks than without it.]
Jack Morrison is 26, just completed the first half of his Special Forces "Q-Course," and just got airdropped to a secret base in the snowy mountains of Idaho along with the other "supersoldier candidates."
[Common force multipliers are: terrain, geographical features, weather]
He doesn't really know how to feel about his new "number" (76) or the fact that he's joined a program that will "genetically and phenotypically modify him, as well as train him extensively, to survive better against the bots."
[Training and experience]
He never thought he was particularly "special" (though he'll be the first to admit he's always hoped for an adventure worthy of legend).
[Tactics and intelligence]
And he thought SEP would just be more training
[Morale]
Until he met "Soldier: 24"
[Friends]
Gabriel Reyes
[Inspiration]
And Jack experienced a revelation
And they changed the course of history.
