Notes: My whole hearted thanks to my beta schweet_heart. She went out of her way to get this fic back to me in a reasonable time, and her comments and feedback were spot on and made this fic so much better than it was originally. She deserves all the kudos and good things, because seriously, she was AMAZING.
Also, my endless thanks to the mods of this fest. I’m a relative newbie to the fandom as well as writing, and I was so happy I got to participate in WinterKnights this year. Thanks so much for all of your hard work and effort, and keeping this holiday collection alive. <3
Lastly, all of the recipes used in this story were based on ones I found on Nigella Lawson’s website. Some of them sounded absolutely wonderful, and others, well, let’s just say I agreed with Arthur. =)
Summary: When Vivian makes a comment to their friends, insinuating that Arthur is not the most passionate of people, hurt and embarrassed, Arthur decides to make her a homemade Christmas feast to prove that he can be romantic. After he almost sets the building on fire three times, help comes to him in the form of his neighbour from 514, a tall lanky fellow named Merlin, with two of the worst behaved dogs Arthur has ever encountered, who offers to teach him how to cook. Except, as their lessons progress, Arthur slowly comes to realise that Vivian may not be the one he really wants to cook for, but only if he has the courage to let go of all of his fears, and reach for the one thing he truly wants for Christmas.
