Someone please tell me I can't write a Merlin/Harry Potter AU where Merlin is Emerys Donahue and Arthur is Arthur Cornwallis, and they've been reincarnated without their memories, and Emerys is sorted into Slyterin because while he's as loyal as a Hufflepuff, and courageous as a Gryffindor, and oh, he does love to learn, his overwhelming urge to keep those he loves safe no matter the cost outshines all his other qualities. The Hat knows who he was; Hogwarts herself adores him, because he trained her founders.
Arthur is the Hufflepuffiest Hufflepuff there ever was. He's tiny and adorable. He's an easy target for bullies, and that's how he and Emerys meet: Arthur's been cornered by three Gryffindors the year ahead of Harry Potter (so, four years ahead of Arthur&Emerys), and Emery's happens along. He's also tiny at this point, and he knows he should keep walking; no reason in the world to help a Hufflepuff, especially from Gryffindors.
But. But.
Emerys remembers first, when all those things with Voldemort attacking Hogwarts happen. He's still the most powerful wizard to ever live. Arthur's no slouch himself, now, but he's how Emerys stays grounded.
(I have no idea how to reconcile Harry's 'destiny' with the deus ex machina of Merlin. And I still have that Inception/Harry Potter crossover to finish. And I've seen maybe an episode and a half of Merlin, but I'm reading AU fic for it right now, and I have no idea where the craving come from.)
So, yeah. Someone tell me not to write this, please.
