    Summary

    Ever since Sarah... well, ever since Sarah ten years ago, Joel's stayed as far away from kids as he can. Just the sight of one is practically enough to send him into a panic attack.

    But then Tommy signs them up for a contracting job at a high school as a favor to an old army buddy.

    And then there's a little girl in the front office, who somehow appears in the coffee shop Joel visits because the motel's coffee machine is shit.

    Most damning is when Joel goes in to do some work at three in the morning and that same goddamn little girl is asleep in his construction zone and, when he wakes her up, says she's homeless.

    Next thing he knows, she's asleep in his motel bed and he's filing foster parent paperwork.

    What the fuck just happened?

    (Foster parent AU! Featuring Joel Trying His Best And FailingTM, Ellie annoying local man and his friends & family into adopting her, and Tess/Joel as a lil treat for the masses.)

    Summary

    Set after the Merlin Series 5 Finale "Diamond of the Day".
    Canon Compliant. In Character. Arthur Pendragon Returns.
    Cover art by Lao-Pendragon

    ------

    For many long years Merlin waited.

    For the other part of his soul, for the other half of his life. He was born to serve Arthur. So that meant he was also born to wait. Even if it took a thousand years. Even if the wait seemed never to end.

    Until one day, suddenly, it did.

    When Arthur stumbles from the Lake of Avalon 1,500 years after his death, he finds a world unlike the one he knew. Faced with the loss of everyone he loved, and the threat of impending prophecy, Arthur must learn what it means to be not just a king, but the Once and Future King. Merlin does all he can to guide him, even as he struggles to hide his love for his king, and his fear of losing him again.

    Story includes sass, banter, horseplay, & True Love.

    Summary

    “Does the name Anna Williams sound familiar to you?”

    “No.”

    “Okay. Let me ask instead then.” Marlene held on for one more moment, before she finally spat it out almost too quickly. “Do you still remember about a woman with red hair, being in her mid-thirties, you have met at a pub one night back then in November 2010?”

    And suddenly it hit Joel like a hard slap right into his face.

    “Anna Williams has died of an overdose three weeks ago. She.. I mean, you have a daughter together.”

     

    Or: Joel finds out about having a thirteen year old daughter he hasn't known anything about. He agrees to let Ellie live with him together on his sheep ranch, until Marlene will find a foster family for her. Of course, with time passing and getting to know each other he grows fond of the little girl. Will Joel still let her go in the end?
