merlin_holidaysTitle: Let Your Heart Be Light
Recipient: cassie_black
Rating: T
Pairings: Merlin/Arthur, Morgana/Leon
Word Count: 27,852
Content Notes/Warnings: None.
Summary:: Ever since their father passed away, Arthur can admit that maybe he's a bit overly involved with his sister's family life. Sure his commitment to being a part of his two young niece's lives has cost him more than one boyfriend, but being the Favourite Uncle is more than worth it. That is, until Morgana hires Merlin, a young PhD student, as their new nanny.
Suddenly, everyone is singing Merlin's praises. Though he tries to play nice, Arthur can’t help but feel like he’s being edged out of his own family every time Merlin shows up during his quality time with his nieces. Luckily, he has Christmas in the family cottage to look forward to -- six whole days of fun family traditions and absolutely no Merlin … or so he thinks.
Author's Notes:
cassie_black, I had SUCH a hard time choosing between your wonderful prompts! I honestly wish I had time to write them all, but this is the one that wormed its way into my brain immediately and would not leave, so I went ahead with it! I hope very much that it’s to your liking and that you’re having a lovely holiday season!
To my beta and my brit picker: I’ll credit you both properly after reveals, but thank you so much to my beta for all your amazing support and encouragement and for never making fun of me and my many typos! <3
Thank you so much to my Brit Picker (and bonus beta) for all your help in getting this fic up to snuff! I loved hearing all your stories and really appreciate your help. <3
