Full disclosure! I mod [livejournal.com profile] merlin_holidays, which means those author/artists are anon to you, but not to me.

[MERLIN/ARTHUR]

Mistletoe by [livejournal.com profile] amythystluna [NC-17]
This is fun animated gif that is adorable and sexy. Ahahah! Leaves me with all kinds of Christmassy warm-fuzzies.

Driving Lessons by [livejournal.com profile] hermette [NC-17] (7k)
Summary: It's bad enough that Arthur is going to have to get a stupid fucking stats tutor because he spends all of his lectures staring at the back of Merlin's neck and wondering what sort of noises he'd make if Arthur scraped his teeth against all that pale skin. But now, now he's supposed to tolerate Merlin showing up at his door early in the morning with snowflakes clinging to his eyelashes? Now he's supposed to spend four hours alone in a car with him, and fuck all, there is no way Arthur comes out of this without making some manner of arse out of himself.
Fabulous feel-good fic. Funny and silly and romantic with plenty of Christmas cheer and boys crushing on boys. The kind of fic you want to find in your stocking on Christmas morning.

Same as It Ever Was by [livejournal.com profile] corilannam [NC-17] (7k)
Summary: When Merlin wakes up, he’s wrapped in Arthur’s arms. It's the single worst moment of his life.
Magical Modern AU. This is a lovely achy fic, with a really interesting characterisation of Merlin who is emotionally damaged by his father abandoning their family. It has a great theme of the risks of self-fulfilling prophecies, and the world building that is a quiet background story is nicely done.


A Miracle of Rare Device by [livejournal.com profile] pepperlandgirl4 [PG-13] (pre-slash) (4k)
Summary: It was easy to lose track of time in that sort of cold. Nothing served as adequate distraction because your mind was constantly concerned with the problem of freezing to death—or rather, not freezing to death.
Very sweet, quiet h/c fic, with an adoring Arthur taking care of a very cold Merlin.




[GWAINE RECS]

Ice Princess by [livejournal.com profile] lolafiest Gwaine/Arthur [R] (550)
Summary: The boys are trapped in a cave! Merlin frets. Gwaine tries to sex Arthur up. Shenanigans ensue. I am really bad at writing summaries.
The world needs more Arthur/Gwaine!!! The world needs this fic to be more that 550 words! I think a commoner gets knighted every time Gwaine calls Arthur ‘Princess’ in a fic.


The Proper Deference by [livejournal.com profile] leashy_bebes Merlin/Gwaine [R] (1200)
Summary: This is what happened after 3x13. YES IT IS. Um. Spoilery, I guess? Mainly just porny.
Super sexy Merlin/Gwaine coda to 3.13. I love that Gwaine sees right through Merlin’s ‘deference’. Hee!
