Round-Up #1

Thank you to everyone who has supported winterknights this year! It's been a great start to the fest and we look forward to sharing many more fabulous creations with you over the next couple of weeks.

❄

ART:

♥ When we fell in love, it snowed [Merlin/Arthur - G]
They fell in love in winter.

♥ My Yule Tradition [Merlin/Arthur - G]
Merlin always loved Yuletide but while Uther was king, the feast was banned from the kingdom. Therefore Arthur decided to celebrate it with Merlin secretly. Ever since that day, they kept their tradition.


ART + FIC:

♥ Like an Angel [Merlin/Arthur - 195w - PG-13]
Merlin reminisces about his first christmas with Arthur: a blond angel that fell from the sky!

♥ A Soft Spot [Merlin/Arthur - 889w - M]
Arthur tells Merlin he wants to be more than friends.


FIC:

♥ Fried Chicken for Christmas [Merlin/Arthur - 27k - PG-13]
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.

♥ Shall We Dance? [Merlin/Arthur - 4473w - PG-13]
It’s time for the Yule Ball, and Arthur has no idea how he’ll muster up the courage to ask out his crush, Merlin, so he suggests they go as just friends instead. Will it go well, or will there be hurt feelings and broken hearts at the end of the evening?

♥ Underneath the Tree Radio Mix (with some caffeine in between) [Elena/Mithian - 2398w - G]
Elena's been pining over Mithian forever. Christmas may be just the time to rip off the plaster and let her know.

♥ A Present (From the Past) to Remember [Merlin/Arthur, Merlin/Mordred - 4600w - R]
Merlin has searched high and low to find the perfect Christmas present for his boyfriend, but perhaps someone else will appreciate it more.

♥ turn the white snow red [Merlin/Arthur - 7300w - M]
There are tears on his cheeks by the time he's finished, but he wipes them away without acknowledgement. Pointless to cry over what must be done. Pointless to waste his tears on a sorcerer.

♥ Ice Bound [Gwaine/Percival - 1279w - G]
Gwaine wants Percival to share his passion for skating.

♥ Love, Patience, Valour and Aster [Merlin/Arthur - 5916w - G]
It’s the night after Camelot’s Yule celebration and no one even acknowledges that it’s the anniversary of Merlin’s birth. Not Gaius, not Arthur nor the knights. Of course, Arthur seems to have decided that it’s best to start the year as he means to go on, by being an enormous prat. But is he really?
