Happy Merlin Holidays 2017! As is our custom, we are pleased to kick off this year's gifting with a beautiful piece of art. As a reminder: please leave kudos and kind comments for as many of our gifters as you can (but particularly for your gift!)

Title: The Royal Wedding
Recipient: Gilli_ann
Rating: G
Pairings: Merlin/Arthur Pendragon
Medium: Digital Art
Content Notes/Warnings: none
Artist's Notes: Oh my, I was in love with the Royal Wedding Prompt right away. I hope I could give it the justice it deserves. It should be as spectacular as the idea of a wedding between our king and his sorcerer. I wish you a merry, merry Christmas, Gilli_ann (and of course, everyone else too :D)

Title: Castles, snow and ornaments
Recipient: rotrude
Rating: Explicit (NC-17)
Pairings: Merlin/Arthur, Gwaine/Percy and Leon/other as side-pairings
Word Count: 11891
Content Notes/Warnings: no warnings
Summary: The friends go on a trip for the holidays. Arthur is in charge of organizing and outdid himself. Merlin loves the whole thing. And he can't help falling more and more in love with his friend.
Author's Notes: Rotrude! I have to admit I was a bit intimidated when I saw your name on my assignment. Your prompts were right down my alley, though and immediately I started writing. Which is a bit weird when the end of September brings back summer with temperatures that were higher than on most summer days. Listening to Michael Bublé croon ‘White Christmas’ to support the mood is strange when people walk about in t-shirts, shorts and aren’t wearing socks. Now, that I finish editing the story, it’s actually snowing outside. I hope the story is tinsel-y enough and helps putting you in a Christmassy mood. Happy Holidays, dear!
Thanks to the mods for once again putting this wonderful fest together and for letting me play, even though I messed up last year. Special thanks to my wonderful beta, whom I left with little time to put this into readable English on such short notice.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
