Title: Five New Year’s Eves and One New Year Day (or: The New Year's Day Rebellion)
Recipient: All of you - This was the idea for a pinch hit that never came to pass!
Rating: NC-17 / Explicit
Pairings: Merlin/Arthur
Word Count: 17987
Content Notes/Warnings: none
Summary:
Merlin and Arthur don't get off on a good start when they first meet at Morgana's posh New Year's party: A literally eye opening game of Truth or Dare later, they both are glad they won't be seeing each other again.

Until next year, that is. And the year after that...

Author's Notes: My New Year's spin on "Fives Times plus one", featuring more geeky references than anyone might be able to spot and two idiots in love.This has all the tropes: Enemies to Lovers, Bed Sharing, Huddling for Warmth, Geeks in Love, even Exhibitionism (I'm especially proud about that one ;-)).
I started this as a pinch-hit but as the original poster came to the rescue and I already had the idea for the story, I gift this to all of you! Happy New Year!

Thank you to
- Beri, thanks so much for the quick and very thorough beta! Your suggestions were invaluable!
- my s.o. - glad you didn't have so much work with this one, but thx for giving me the time to write, like always.
