Notes:
Thank you: To my wonderful beta aoigensou, who did such a great job in betaing my story - you were so thorough and your suggestions were brilliant! Thanks also to Serena, who cheered me on through the early conception of this story and who spent a late night talking to me about it. Last but not least, thank you to my wife, who as always, made my fic better with her constructive criticism - you are the voice of reason, darling, and I love you for it!
Notes on the story: Named after one of my favourite Christmas songs, this story is so self-indulgent, I almost feel embarrassed. Apart from the Christmas fluff factor it features very detailed (if not graphic) descriptions of Merlin doing Ashtanga/Vinyasa yoga. So here it is, my love of Merlin and yoga combined in one very schmoopy fic.
Summary It’s almost Christmas and all the flights at JFK airport in New York have been cancelled due to a storm. Stuck at the airport, Arthur, a young businessman on the verge of burnout, meets Merlin, a yoga teacher from Cardiff. Sparks fly and what starts out as a heated, head-over-heels Christmas romance has the potential to become more - much more.
If it weren’t for the baggage both of them bring with them…
