ART:
Christmas morning gift exchange.
When Morgause fucks off for the holidays, she leaves her teenage brother Mordred with their cousin Morgana. Unfortunately, Morgana already has other plans.
Merlin takes Arthur to Ealdor and Arthur is smitten not only with the lovely wintery village ;)
Anonymous created Merry Christmas (Everybody's having Fun) [Arthur/Knights, Arthur/Merlin - NC-17]
Nothing says 'good tidings to all' like the King offering himself up for the festivities.
Merlin and Arthur have a very merry xmas with their little dragon baby. :)
Most grownups no longer believe in Santa Claus, but for those who still do, still find their hearts desire under the tree on Christmas morning. But what happens when you are both naughty and nice in equal measure?
Arthur might be slightly drunk, but definitely not enough to hallucinate; But there she was on Christmas Eve, his mother, standing there looking at him. His rationality dictated that he not believe it, but his heart was beating fast and his throat was all clogged up. What was happening?
Arthur and Merlin are tasked to decorate for a holiday party.
Merlin is horrified to learn that Arthur's never seen the old Rankin & Bass "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" tv special, and is determined to remedy the fact. However, they quickly learn that the magic of this stop-motion classic is carried mostly by a heaping helping of nostalgia that Arthur just doesn't have (though he does get a kick out of Yukon Cornelius).
Arthur just couldn't control himself.
Gaius and Geoffrey have been imprisoned for treason, but Uther cannot let them spend the holidays alone.
First Christmas together, and they can't pose for a photo.
Arthur and Merlin don't mind spending their winter hols at Hogwarts... The lack of students around allows for some unrepressed flirting on picturesque school grounds!
Merlin and Arthur enjoy christmas with their daughter.
Arthur and Merlin meet on a trip to Finnish Lapland...and the rest is history :)
Merlin and Arthur make snow angels.
'On Christmas Eve, a wish came true...the night I fell in love with you....it only took one kiss to know...it must have been the mistletoe.'
'New year, new life'
PODFIC:
He had found out about FM 104 by tracing his son's… by contacting Merlin. Arthur didn't want his father to be a part of his life anymore, but Merlin understood the pain that he was going through and decided to give him this tentative link.
FIC:
There’s a wood shortage in Camelot, but not in Arthur’s chambers.
Arthur’s used to spending Christmas away, he really is. But sometimes – sometimes – it makes him miss the home he no longer has.
[Gwaine/Leon - PG-13 - 1979]
When the time comes for Leon's family to meet his boyfriend, the person to win over is Leon's beloved nana.
Fifteen years have passed since the last time Arthur kissed Merlin, and Arthur is certain that he had never wanted to kiss Merlin as badly then as he does now.
Morgana the Ice Queen shows an entirely new and warmer side of herself when affected by the holiday cheer.
Merlin and Arthur just wanted to celebrate Yule and Christmas, together, with Hunith and Uther.
It’s been years since Mordred had believed in Christmas Miracles – those were for children and the optimists, and he had long since stopped being either of them.
So I changed the pairing from A/M to M/M, but hopefully it still reads like a cheesy holiday made-for-tv movie. :)
Once upon a time, there were two boys, a girl, and a king. This is the story of how winter came to be.
It's the first Yule after Uther's death and in spite of some initial doubts as to the propriety of holding revels, Arthur decides to celebrate the festival all the same. The populace deserves a time for merry-making and so do his friends and loved ones. Now present exchanges are a Camelot Yuletide tradition, a long established convention. And that's where Arthur's plans falter just a little. While he knows what to give his friends and followers, he has no idea how to reward Merlin. Right, Merlin...
A winter storm forces them to change plans -- not that they mind too much.
In which Arthur learns that, while Druids may be elusive and mysterious, when it comes to gift-giving they go the whole log.
Morgana is feeling downcast thanks to the holiday season, it isn’t until Arthur and Merlin intervene that she might find a new meaning for the holidays.
Leon more than likes the promiscuous Gwaine and Merlin tries to help by setting them up for a night at the pub together, but Leon has his reasons for not making a move. Gwaine dares Leon to buy a particular type of jumper to encourage him to be more laid-back although Gwaine may have an ulterior motive.
Gwaine and Percival have been together for half a year and it's about time they meet each other’s families. When Christmas comes around Gwaine and Percival spend time at each other’s homes, getting to know each other’s family and only getting closer because of it.
It's Christmas in the trenches, and two enemy soldiers meet in No Man's Land.
Merlin is gifted several copies of Mamma Mia!...again, Arthur promises a different gift.
The gold lettering along the bottom of the shop window says COFFEE BY PENDRAGON, and underneath: NOT YOUR AVERAGE DRAGON. Merlin grins. What is an average dragon like, and what makes this one different?
Waking up — still drunk and naked — was also something Gwaine had long since grown used to.
Merlin has a very evil tradition of boobytrapping Arthur’s presents at Christmas. This year, Arthur decides to get revenge.
Arthur is struggling with his father’s wishes, when he meets someone on the train home. Merlin, in the space of two days, manages to turn Arthur’s world upside down.
All Merlin wants for Christmas is to be more than Arthur’s bed warmer, but he’s not sure if Arthur has what it takes to grant that wish.
Gwaine and Morgana celebrate their first New Year's Eve as an engaged couple at Merlin's party.
Merlin never looks forward to his birthday, in the rush of celebrating New Years it is always forgotten, but maybe Arthur can change that.
Merlin and Arthur throw a New Year’s Eve party. Things get nuts quickly.
Pendragons don’t make New Year resolutions. Pendragon’s just did what had to be done, no lists needed. Now, after spending half of his life lying to his father, Arthur thinks that this may be an exception. Something he needs to plan to. Something he needs help in doing. Something he needs to say, whatever the consequences.
Mod Note: Sorry the reveal is a little bit later than planned! Thank you for your patience!
