Recipient: AJsRandom
Rating: PG
Pairings: Merlin/Morgana
Word Count: 8,199
Content Notes/Warnings: Very brief reference to past abusive relationship
Summary: All Merlin wants for Christmas is a chance to tell Morgana how he feels. Getting trapped in a ski cabin together was not exactly part of the plan...
Author's Notes: Happy holidays AJ! Your prompts were very sweet, and I enjoyed trying out a new pairing :) I know you're a real Mergana lover so I hope I've done them justice for you!
Many thanks to the ever-patient mods, and my lovely and amazing beta C

Rating: G
Pairings: Merlin/Arthur, Gwaine/Leon
Word Count: 8846
Content Notes/Warnings: none that I can think of
Summary: Merlin and Arthur broke up a while ago. It just wasn't meant to be. So why on earth did Merlin let himself be talked into not withdrawing from the skiing trip they had planned long ago by Gwaine and Leon? When the four of them arrive at the cabin, things start to get even worse. Can Christmas be salvaged or will it end in total disaster?
Author's Notes: Dear Clea, I hope this is what you had in mind with your great prompts. I had a fantastic time playing with them and hopefully you will like the outcome. Happy Holidays to you, my friend!
Thanks, dear mods, for once again hosting this fest. I'm looking forward to it all year long and hope that there will be many to come. Merlin and Arthur and winter and snuggling just belong together.
Thanks to my trusty beta, who did a wonderful job on very short notice. Once again, you saved my behind! Anything that is still in there is entirely my own fault. Typos are up for adoption. Give them a good home, it's the holiday season after all! ;)
And just because I usually keep forgetting to put this here, I own nothing. I only take the boys out to play for a while and make sure they do get back to the BBC and Shine unharmed (relatively), cleaned, fed and in a good mood.

Word Count:10,882
Content Notes/Warnings:none
Summary:Every year, Arthur's friends from university gather for the Christmas holidays at Arthur's family estate in Scotland. But his best friend, Merlin, always refuses to come. This year is different, and Arthur learns something that everyone else already knows.
Author's Notes:Happy Holidays, cassie_black! I enjoyed working with your prompts, and hope this story makes you smile. The title is from a song I heard on the radio. My Internet searches have not turned up the title or the artist's name. If anyone is familiar with it, please let me know.The song immediately made me think of Merlin and Arthur.
