Title: Delayed for Destiny
Recipient: GeekLover
Rating: Explicit
Pairings: Arthur/Merlin
Word Count: 5502
Content Notes/Warnings: None
Summary: Arthur just wants to get home so he can celebrate Christmas with his friends and family, instead he's stuck in an airport in the middle of nowhere, USA thanks to a snowstorm, and the outlook isn't looking good. He's already managed to lose his temper and piss off the counter agent... At this rate he's going to end up crashing on the airport floor.
Thankfully, a dark haired stranger comes to his rescue.Arthur's very own Christmas miracle. There's something about him Arthur can't quite put his finger on... but maybe, just maybe, this might end up being a wonderful Christmas after all.
