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.
