Merlin AU where Merlin is tired of waiting for Arthur so he turns aithusia and himself into stone for until he and any of his reincarnated friends can reunite
There’s always been dragon statues around Pendragon Manor and Arthur has always been told to not touch or play on them he’s never been the type to disobey his mother so he keeps a distance from them throughout his childhood. His half sister Morgana jokingly gives the old one in the garden a kiss which accidentally brings it to life
Meanwhile Reincarnated Gwaine stumbles upon a beautiful statue in an old town square. It turns into Merlin upon touch and now they’re both on the run for section 95 or something. they’ve supposedly destroyed a national historical monument (Merlin) and are to be fined money neither of them have. Merlin is looking for his daughter who he ASSURES him is still alive and the man’s memory is spotty at best. It’s too bad Gwaine’s a decent guy and is currently helping his new recently un-petrified friend in his endeavors.

This is such a long shot considering that you were talking about this so long ago but in the Stone AU does tigerstar know that stonefur and leopardstar are lying?
eh, i have no concept of time, you're more than good
"I'm going to fix this," Leopardstar says. She rests her head against him. "We'll get Mistyfoot and the apprentices out tomorrow, and end all of this, and..." She sighs. "I'm sorry, Stonefur."
"I know."
Leopardstar flicks her tail. "But I am. I'm going to fix this."
"I know." She huffs, and Stonefur turns his head, putting his muzzle on the top of her head. "I'm not...you stopped him when it really mattered," he says.
* * *
the sun rises.
* * *
"Those were TigerClan apprentices you let escape, Leopardstar," Tigerstar says, like she hasn't been here since last moonrise. "We need young cats. The future of the Clan rests in them."
"Petaldust--"
"Petaldust has one sick kit," Tigerstar says. "Is that really what you think of TigerClan?"
She feels Stonefur bristle, but he stays quiet. Leopardstar meets Tigerstar's eyes. He won't put words into her mouth.
"Now," Tigerstar says, "the two of you..."
* * *
the sun sets.
* * *
"You understand," Tigerstar says, "that I am only letting you live because of Leopardstar."
He leans closer, and Stonefur resists the urge to (sink his teeth into Tigerstar's throat) look back at their den.
"It'd be preferable," he says, "if TigerClan was represented by a litter of kits from its leaders. But that hardly seems appropriate."
* * *
"i won't," stonefur says. he presses his forehead to hers. "leopardstar, do you understand? i won't."
"he'll kill you," leopardstar says, "don't think i didn't hear."
please don't leave me to him, she thinks, please don't leave me at all.
"you don't want that," he says.
"and you do?" stonefur is silent, and leopardstar counts out three breaths before continuing. "i can't do this without you again," she says. please don't make me.
stonefur sighs, and leopardstar presses her nose to his shoulder.
"i'm sorry," he says, and she's not sure if that means he will or he won't.
* * *
"No time like the present," Tigerstar says. Leopardstar meets Stonefur's eyes.
"Is this -- all necessary?" Stonefur asks.
"I assume the two of you haven't had kits yet for a reason," Tigerstar says. "If it's failure to succeed..." He doesn't finish his sentence; he doesn't need to. "So I assume it's failure to try. In which case, yes."
If, teeth at his throat, someone were to ask Stonefur how, it wouldn't be like this. It wouldn't be here, wouldn't be now, wouldn't be with Tigerstar watching them like they are apprentices, practising a new battle move. Maybe that's what they are to him.
(He doesn't have an answer for how he would, just that it woudn't be like this.)
* * *
"i don't think i want to be with anyone," leopardfur said, her tail overlapping with sunfish's.
(riverclan cats don't call for their ancestors.)
"well," sunfish said, "it's not like you have to." she bunted her temple against leopardfur. "as long as you're happy, right?"
(still, dawn is heavy on her tongue. she's not sure why. is it a cry for help? justice? an ending? she thinks she just wants to know there is a witness.)
leopardfur purred. "and what about you? are you happy?"
(she has brought this on him, forced this on him, let tigerstar do this to her stonefur, and it is enough to make her break at the seams.)
"i think so," sunfish said. "or i think i'm figuring it out."
* * *
Leopardstar grooms herself frantically, not looking at him.
"Tsk," Tigerstar says. "She-cats. Always so dramatic." He's looking at Stonefur like Stonefur is supposed to agree with him, like Stonefur does not deserve so much worse than Leopardstar's rejection.
"Get out," Stonefur growls.
Tigerstar flicks his tail. "Blackfoot already assigned patrols," he says. "So you're free for the day."
* * *
he stills remembers the first time he slept in her nest. she wouldn't let him forget it, but no matter how he pretends, he wouldn't want to.
it was when he was still smaller than her, just slightly. he knew mistypaw would go looking for him in the morning, knew she'd check oakheart and greypool's den, and tease him if she found him there. usually, he wouldn't mind too much, but it was that terrible cold again.
so he found leopardfur's den, stepping as quietly as he could. she still woke.
"stonepaw? is everything okay?"
he looked at his paws. "i -- couldn't sleep?" he swallowed. "bad dream."
"oh," she said, her voice thick with an emotion stonepaw couldn't quite place, something he knew was in the same clan as affection but couldn't name. "and you came here?"
"i didn't want to wake up oakheart and greypool."
"so you woke up me instead," she said, but shifted. "come on, then."
stonepaw curled up tightly at her side, trying not to take up more space than he had to.

"she's mine," stonefur says, and he feels sick because she is and she isn't and not like this but it means they're alone and that's better than the alternative.
