Notes: For Tari_Sue who left this amazing prompt: Arthur and Leon are in the Highlands for Hogmanay and have to take Merlin and Gwaine first-footing with them because no one will allow a man with fair hair to be first across the threshold. The writer has attempted to use mild Scots dialect in places. With enormous thanks to L, C and P for taking time to read and encourage, and to the fabulous mods as always <3.
Summary: After being outed on national TV, Arthur goes to a remote Hebridean with his band mates for New Year's Eve, to avoid the paparazzi. At the same time, he hopes to discover more about his mother's origins. But he soon finds that blond hair and nice knees alone don't open any doors on Hogmanay. In which Arthur calls Merlin names. They argue and he learns that yes, there is a dance called the Gay Gordons, and no, perhaps disappointingly, it doesn't mean what he thought it meant.

Notes: This story is based on Sock it to me, Santa by Madison Parker, one of the cutest short stories ever written. So if you like this fic, go check out the original story and give it some well deserved love (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16124430-sock-it-to-me-santa). A big thank you to my beta Penn who had to add like a million commas to this story and to the Merlin Chat, without your cheering I would never have the motivation to actually finish anything.
Summary: Merlin was the last person whose name Arthur wanted to draw for their school’s Secret Santa exchange. But now that he is stuck with the other boy’s name, it’s maybe time to finally get to know him better and realise how amazing he actually is.
