After a heavy snow storm Merlin is too cold to keep on walking and Percival's body heat makes him the perfect comforter.

♥ lao_pendragon drew My wish on a star [Merlin/Arthur - G]
It's bittersweet to wish on a star the only thing you've ever wanted in your life – for one single night. But being able to keep it the day after, is a wonder. This star was such a wonder.

♥ eisbaerfussel drew It's cookie time! [Merlin/Arthur - G]
It's frosting. For now ;P

♥ alexandarcho drew Love, From the Camelot Royal Mail Service [Merlin/Arthur - G]

ART + FIC

♥ lfb72 created All's Fair in Love and War [Merlin/Arthur - 577w - G]
Arthur enters a snow crafting competition fully expecting to win (because he’s good at everything) but there’s a dark-haired guy with a goofy grin who is much better. An act of jealousy brings Arthur to his senses and he does the honourable thing to make amends.

♥ merlocked18 created The winter of my heart [Merlin/Arthur - 500w - G]
Merlin is fed up with grief and loneliness and is determined not to return from his wintery hike up into the mountains. A man he encounters might change his mind, however.

FIC

♥ slashweaver created The Heart that Made a Family [Gaius/Geoffrey - 2750w - G]
Gaius and Geoffrey have been together for decades, and have long been set in their own wonderful ways. But perhaps it's not entirely unexpected that the festive season brings them more than one surprise?

♥ digthewriter created The Set Up (That Didn't) [Merlin/Arthur - 9585w - NC-17]
Merlin is desperately looking for a date to his best friend's wedding. Things don't go exactly as planned.

♥ ajsrandom created A Snowy Fight [Arthur/Gwen - 1810w - PG-13]
It's been a long winter and Arthur's going stir-crazy in the castle. Merlin and Gwen concoct a plan to get him outside enjoying the snow.

♥ emrys_mk created The Best Bad Idea Merlin Ever Had [Merlin/Arthur, past Merlin/Will - 3500w - NC-17]
Merlin should have known that sending a NSFW photo from his work computer was not a good idea...

♥ shadowspun created Defrosting the Snowman [Merlin/Arthur - 6203w - G]
Arthur never expected snowmen to come to life and wave at him in the tiny village he’d moved to. Surprise!

♥ schweet_heart created all ye faithful [Merlin/Arthur, Morgana/Leon - 25k - NC-17]
After an eight and a half year absence, Arthur returns to his father’s house for Christmas, determined to find some closure and finally let go of the past. Merlin, as ever, gives him a reason to hold on.

♥ verdantmoth created Holly Jolly [Uther/Leon/Arthur - 1856w - Explicit]
Arthur is sitting on an oversize, cushy red and gold chair, dressed only in his ridiculously long Christmas sweater. He’s draped so that his legs rest over one arm, waiting. The lights are twinkling behind him, music wafts from the speakers. Someone has turned it down since Santa’s Workshop is closed now. He can hear the bells of a costume coming down the hallway. An impish grin spreads across his Arthur’s face as he relaxes, as much as he can, between the armrest. This is the scene that greets Leon when he comes around the bend, sweater in his hand and bells still jingling on his ridiculous elf shoes. The striped tights are suddenly tighter than they were five steps ago.

♥ bunnysworld created Christmas Town [Merlin/Arthur - 4385w - G]
Arthur is not in the mood for Christmas but a commercial might be able to help with that

♥ ext_4137531 created With Love, Snow and Mistletoe [Merlin/Arthur - 600w - PG-13]
Five times Merlin and Arthur didn't kiss (and the first time that they did)

♥ aeris444 created Bed Companions [Merlin/Percival - 2068w - PG-13]
Winter is coming on Camelot and it’s time for everyone to find his bed warmer to spend the coldest months with.

♥ artypendragon created The Wrong Side of the Season [Merlin/Arthur - 1911w - G]
The minute that Arthur leaves for war, Merlin begins griping.

♥ verdantmoth created Frostbite [Merlin/Arthur - 542w - G]
When they’re settled again, curled under Merlin’s ratty quiet but basking in each other, Merlin whispers, “I’m sorry you’ll miss the big Christmas feast.”

♥ clea2011 created Why Mince Pies Should Have an Elf and Safety Warning [Merlin/Arthur - 8635w - PG]
In which Merlin is one of Santa's elves and mince pies are dangerous distractions, particularly when they're guarded by handsome visions of perfection.
It's not a good idea to stop and gaze at the pretty blond man when you're supposed to be helping deliver presents to children all over Camelot and only have a ten second delivery slot at each house...

♥ monkiainen created The Chance [Merlin/Arthur - 515w - G]
It's time for the ancient ritual.

♥ verdantmoth created 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.”

♥ tayastrange created 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.

♥ starkidpatronus created 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.

♥ camelittle created 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.

♥ dhampir created 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.

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

♥ ext_4137531 created Lights Down Low, In the Moment We're Lost and Found [Merlin/Arthur - 14717w - R]
What happens at the office Christmas party, stays at the office Christmas party. Or rather, it doesn’t.
