Summary
Harry has never been truly alone, not with his red and gold guardian looking out for him. The Dursley's used to tell him to stop talking to an imaginary person, but Ari is different, she isn't imaginary or a person. She's been a part of him and his magic since before he even knew it existed.
Out of fear for her safety, he's always kept her a secret, but after the tragic events of the Triwizard Tourament, she is forced into the light. Some call her a familiar, some call her a specter, others just call her unnatural, but with Voldemort's return what she is doesn't matter as much as what she can do.
Basically, what if there was a good version of an obscurial that protected the child and their magic instead of consumed them?

Summary
"Merlin though continued in his frantics. The magic around the room and around Gwaine seemed to push harder. The temperature seemed to drop and the fire in the hearth went out completely. Gwaine was sure if Merlin would just look at him he would be able to calm him down but as it was Gwaine was looking at his profile and his eyes never stopped anywhere.
"Merlin!" he tried a little louder. Still, with no effect, Gwaine was pretty sure he was about to pass out. His face had become very red his entire frame was shaking and his breaths were too short."
i.e. Merlin is having trouble adjusting to his life again after the horrors he was trapped in. The others are trying to deal with the fallout. It is not going well
I would suggest reading the first part of this story first. I don't think it will make sense otherwise.

Day 22: “Everything Is Fucking Perfect, Sir Elyan, Why Do You Ask?” by cactuscandle

Summary
“Why is he desperate for Merlin to like him?” asked Percival. “I mean, I wouldn’t want to get on the man’s wrong side but Mordred’s known him for a few weeks and is desperate to please already.”
“It’s Merlin,” said Elyan simply. “He’s the fun one with Gwaine so…”
Arthur interrupted him with a short laugh. “That’s a polite way of saying he’s absolutely useless. Anyway, never have I been more thankful to whichever Old Religion god had led Merlin and Gwaine to have their little lovers’ quarrel.”
“Oh, haven’t you heard? They made up this morning,” said Guinevere calmly, as though she were merely commenting on the frequent bouts of good weather rather than totally removing Arthur’s only source of happiness. “Lady Emilia had a bet going with her servants and was celebrating quite loudly when she won.”
“Is that wise, then? Leaving the two of them with Mordred now that Gwaine would happily help Merlin inflict torture,” said Lancelot and brilliant. The couple had an excellent way of leaving Arthur with a heart attack, all whilst maintaining their dignity and elegance.
“Meeting adjourned. Find Mordred immediately!”
Or Arthur needs an heir. Too bad Merlin doesn't approve of the chosen sacrifice.
