Summary: Leon hasn't seen Gwaine for seven years, since Gwaine dropped out of college and went on a "gap year" trip to Thailand. At last it seems that Gwaine has returned home - but, perhaps inevitably, he's not quite the same as the man Leon's been yearning for all this time. Then again, maybe Leon's not quite the same either.

Pairing(s): Arthur/Merlin (technically it is pre-Arthur/Merlin but it’s all about the Merthur potential and hurt/comfort)
Prompt: It's yule time at Camelot. Unfortunately Arthur isn't feeling well. But he is the prince/king so he has to suffer through it. He thinks nobody has noticed, but Merlin totally does and he fusses over Arthur. Lots of cuddles and snuggles and Arthur being looked after by Merlin. Bonus confession of love!

Summary: Arthur, newly crowned King of Camelot, gets sick at Yule, his favorite holiday of the year.

Title: Mistletoe Madness
Author/Artist: ???
Pairing(s): Merlin/Arthur
Prompt: Mistletoe madness. Someone has enchanted the mistletoe all over castle to trap people until they kiss the person they love. Cue Merlin being caught under the mistletoe and refusing to move because he's secretly in love with Arthur and will never ever tell him (or put that on him). Everyone loves Merlin though, so lot of people queue up to kiss him to figure out whether he likes them (and to help him out incase he is too shy). Unknown to Merlin, his feelings are not as unrequited as he thought and Arthur has been increasingly getting madder and more hopeless as each kiss is rejected as he becomes more and more sure that Merlin doesn't love him.

Prompt: Merlin/Arthur Modern AU. Merlin owns a toyshop, and it's Arthur's first Christmas taking care of his young nephew, Mordred, after Morgana and Leon were killed in a car accident. The chemistry is immediate, but Merlin thinks Arthur is taken, and Arthur doesn't realise that when Merlin says the toys are magical, he's actually being literal–at least until the toys themselves get in on the act.

Summary: 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...

One of them falls asleep during the performance and plunges into its world.” Inspiration was also loosely taken from prompts #32: “Merlin/Arthur - Parent AU where they spend the holidays with their daughter Aithusa” and #38: “Morgana as the Ice Queen.”

Summary: Seven-year old Aithusa is finally big enough to dance in the Nutcracker. Too bad her Daddy falls asleep as soon as the show begins. . . . It’s Merlin, Nutcracker-style. Or The Nutcracker, Merlin-style. Aithusa really doesn't care which, just as long as Daddy wakes up in time to see her moment in the spotlight.
