where the grille seemed to rise up out of the steam and heavy snowflakes like a row of black, steel teeth breathing deeply before swallowing up the tracks
This is random, but I have such love for machines being attributed human characteristics, and I love this description – the awe that it reflects, the faint feeling of something possibly dangerous in amongst all the excitement (and it built nicely on Arthur finding his mother’s memorial, and possibly a werewolf, and the odd and overwhelming feel of magic in the previous scene). And later when Arthur strokes those steel teeth – accepting the challenge of being there and continuing on with the work.
And ahaha, there were so many hilarious lines. Some of my favourites:
- even managed not to stab the Internet
- where If you are found aboard without your name being on the manifest, you will be stranded half-way between our current location and The North Pole. They tell me it's fairly chilly," the conductor said dryly.
- "Nothing says Happy Christmas like coming on someone's face, yeah?"
- "No. Your snowmobile keys are on the nightstand, I hope you die in an accident that leaves you so charred that they have to identify you by your dental records and absolutely don't call me if you can't find anything," Leon said, before he jumped up out of his seat and climbed out the window.
The North Pole was a truly mystical place.
- "This is the best day of my life," Leon stated.
- "Sir, I don't mean to be crude, but people are staring because they want to climb you like a motherfucking Maple tree."
- "Don't worry, Arthur. It's your destiny," she assured him. Then as an afterthought, "You slag."
- "Leon keeps telling me that the North Pole doesn't allow massive cuntholes to even leave voicemails this far north," (Aww, Leon!)
- "Father Christmas, I would like to get fucked, please and thank you."
- "Seriously, holy fucking hell," Arthur cursed, letting his palm try and work out the shape of Merlin's cock beneath the clinging velvet.
Then again, if Arthur was that velvet, he wouldn't to let go either.
- "Shh, don't talk about it. He'll hear the sound of your voice and want more," Merlin whispered, eyes flashing with mischief and energy and of course, that was just Arthur's luck, Merlin was going to be one of those perky fucks. (Also, seriously adorable.)
- "Are you ruining Christmas with your penis?" Leon all but screamed when he hit his shin on Merlin's night stand and Arthur almost stabbed him with a candy-cane.
Also cracking me up before it turned hot, this entire scene was hilarious:
"Oh, oh," Merlin exclaimed. "My magic makes you—"
"Uncomfortable," Arthur forced out.
…And Arthur protesting that he takes his job very seriously, thank you very much. Just, ahaha, oh, Arthur.
Also, the sleigh bells every time they have sex. That was such a perfect, cheesy touch. <3
