Notes: I was going to write something but my writing muse is not there at the moment, but I still wanted to do something. So instead I was inspired to make a film poster and a fan mix of songs that I felt suited the plot bunny I had.
Summary Morgana Pendragon is a lawyer in London’s most prestigious law firms and has just gotten out of a trainwreck of a marriage. Now, she doubts the whole constitution of marriage. Meanwhile, Gwen Smith is a successful screenwriter in LA who has just been dumped by her boyfriend of three years two weeks before Christmas. When she finds out that he’s already begun seeing another woman, Gwen begins to feel utter despair over how her life is turning out. Deciding that she wants to getaway for the holidays she discovers Morgana’s ad offering her country cottage in Surrey on a house swapping website. Answering the ad, Morgana is pleased for the opportunity to stay at Gwen’s luxurious LA house.

While in each other’s homes, Morgana meets Gwen’s best friend Merlin who is a fellow writer and through their mutual love of science fiction become fast friends. Morgana finds herself falling for Merlin, but after the mess of her divorce she doubts her feelings. Gwen, on the other hand, becomes acquainted with Morgana’s half-brother Arthur after he unexpectedly discovered her at his sister’s cottage. At first, Gwen thinks Arthur is an arrogant prat after he rudely asked to stay in the spare room as he is too drunk to go back to his own place. But when they both find themselves stranded in the cottage during a horrible snowstorm, Gwen finds herself drawn to him after he reveals a softer side. Only problem is he already has a girlfriend.

Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow, snow…”
