Round-Up #4

Happy New Year, everyone, and a big thank-you to all those who participated in the fest!

We've come to the end of the entries for 2018, so here's your chance to get caught up on some of the wonderful creations you might have missed in all the holiday bustle. Don't forget to leave our writers and artists some love (by which I mean comments) for all their hard work! Reveals will go up at the beginning of next week.

Thanks again for another successful fest, and enjoy!

ART:


♥ Love, From the Camelot Royal Mail Service [Merlin/Arthur - G]
The once and future king is on his way to fill your red stockings with gifts... (Yes we have Santa!Arthur and Christmas elf!Merlin here)

♥ Something There [Merlin/Mithian - G]
I wonder why I didn't see it there before, Mithian thinks.

♥ Fall Back [Merlin/Arthur - G]
When all your plans go down the drain, there's still each other to fall back on.


FIC:

♥ Played by the Best [Merlin/Arthur – 1123w – R]
“Are. You. Kidding me?” Merlin pushes and shoves until Arthur is back on his side and he can flop onto his back and throw an arm over his face. He can feel Arthur’s hand slinking across his belly, tapping that same dumb rhythm, slinking down, down, down. Merlin swallows, but he’s not yet ready to let go of his irritation. “We swore, no earlier than 8. Some of us need sleep if you want me to be holly and jolly.”

♥ Make A Wish [Merlin/Arthur – 6106w – NC-17]
After the dragon revealed that Arthur will have to marry and produce heirs in order to fulfill his destiny at some point in the future, Merlin sees all his dreams of being with the man he had been pining after for years destroyed. It is the night of the Winter Solstice when he remembers that a wish upon a falling star is supposed to come true at that time of the year. So Merlin climbs the highest of Camelot's towers to see if there's any truth to this rumor and asks the gods for one night with Arthur.

♥ The Marvelous Magical Toy Shop [Merlin/Arthur - 5400w - PG]
Arthur wants to make Mordred's first Christmas after the death of Morgana and Leon (Mordred's parents) great. He goes to the Marvelous Magical Toy Shop to make that happen. He doesn't expect to find something for his perfect Christmas while he's there.

♥ Three Knocks [Merlin/Arthur - 7141w - PG-13]
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.

♥ Sock it, I love you [Merlin/Arthur - 13258w - PG-13]
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.

♥ summer snowflake [Merlin/Arthur - 540w - G]
Arthur leans forward to kisses Merlin, lips a frozen force that steals his breath.

♥ Lights Down Low, In the Moment We're Lost and Found [Merlin/Arthur - 14717w - R]
