Summary
Yuletide in Camelot was a complicated thing.
Merlin had grown up with simple winter traditions: small gifts left on windowsills, bread shared between neighbours, his mother humming old songs while the snow piled against the door. Ealdor’s winter had been cold, yes, but it had been kind — a quiet, honest cold that wrapped around you and sat beside you at the fire.
Camelot’s Yuletide, by contrast, was a spectacle sharpened to a shine. Crimson and gold banners layered every wall and archway, richer and heavier than usual. Courtiers drifted through the halls in velvet and fur, jewels bright at throats and wrists, their laughter ringing too loud, as if joy were something that had to be proven by volume alone.
Below, the lower town seethed with it all — stalls packed into every sheltered corner, merchants shouting over one another, the air thick with spice and smoke and roasting chestnuts. It was dazzling, overwhelming, impossible to escape.
And above it all, the castle tradition: the Gift of the Longest Night.

Summary
“There were good lives too,” Merlin said quietly. “Moments. Mornings. Laughing in fields. Holding hands in forests that don’t exist anymore. You once made me a crown of dandelions and declared me King of Nothing.”
Arthur huffed a soft laugh through his tears. “Sounds about right.”
“You’ve loved me a thousand different ways,” Merlin whispered. “And I’ve lost you just as many.”
Arthur turned fully now, reaching out. His hand found Merlin’s jaw, cupping it gently. “Not this time.” -

Summary
Mal’telari is all steel and silence—an assassin shaped by gods, sharpened by blood. She doesn’t bend, she doesn’t break, and she certainly doesn’t feel.
Until Gale Dekarios ruins an assassination with a smile, hands her a cup of tea instead of fear, and somehow makes her remember she’s still human beneath the blade.
Together they’re drawn into ruin, gods, and fire—but the most dangerous thing of all is how he makes her want.

Summary
“…Do you think I’m hard to love?”
Arthur doesn’t breathe.
Because he knows. He knows that Merlin means it, knows this isn’t a question for reassurance. It’s a confession of fear. And it breaks something in him to know why Merlin is asking.
Arthur turns his whole body to face him. Looks him in the eye.
“No,” he says, with the certainty of the sun rising — not questioned, not earned, just as a fact.
Merlin swallows.
Arthur continues, softer now, “I think you’re hard to read. But never hard to love.” -

Summary
Dean finds more of Cas's sketches.
When Dean brings one of the drawings to Cas, the truth slips out in pencil lines and soft confessions: love that’s been there for years, sketched in silence long before either of them knew how to say it out loud.

Summary
Dean thinks he's hallucinating. Or dead, yeah, dead sounds more like it, he definitely must be dead already. This, this can't be happening. There's no way that's Cas who's coming straight for him. He saw him die. He saw it. He fucking saw it. Yeah, yeah, okay, the pain is getting worse, Cas must be pulling him from the rebar or something, but he can only concentrate on Cas' firm grip on his arms. "This is going to hurt a bit," Cas whispers. A bit?, Dean thinks a little stupid. His vision is whitening and blurring, when he feels a soft finger brushing against his temple, and oh, oh, the pain is subsiding. Fucking awesome.
"You…"
or, the one where Cas saves Dean in the barn

Summary
“Like this?” Hua Cheng’s voice sounds deeper than usual. Something about it sounds off, as though...
As though Hua Cheng is scared. (...)
Xie Lian glances at Hua Cheng’s hands. They’re smaller in this form and the silver vambraces are nowhere to be seen, but for Xie Lian that doesn’t matter. He reaches for them.
The touch is feather-light at first. A shiver runs down Xie Lian’s spine. Hua Cheng’s hand is cold, colder than it’s ever been before in this form. Could it be that he gave up on pretending? No, Xie Lian can still hear his breath—and it’s nervous and labored, shallow and fast. He covers Hua Cheng’s hand with his own, running his thumb over one long, elegant finger. A smile curves his lips. Xie Lian’s fingers slide over the back of Hua Cheng’s hand until they’re intertwined.
It’s warm.
His voice is no more than a whisper. He repeats, “Like this.”Xie Lian really wants to see Hua Cheng's true form—and with it finds out he has far more feelings for the Ghost King than he lets on.

Summary
Lan Wangji’s eyes snap open. Right there, very faint, he can smell a hint of sweet liquor. He inhales again, and there it is. The distant spiciness in the air, mixed with the smell of earth. The scent of a very particular sort of sweat.
A scent he knows too well.
“Where is he?” Wei Ying’s voice pierces through the air. "Where's Lan Zhan?"
-

Summary
“We are party friends,” Harry said weakly. He ran his fingers through his hair. When he got home, he assured himself, he would have a truly epic wank. That would expunge all of this wild, unmitigated longing.
“Oh,” Malfoy said, his voice low. “Is that what we are, Potter?”
“I— yeah. I’d better— I really need to go.”
“And what is it that you’re running off to do? Is it more important than me? Why can’t you stay and entertain me?” Malfoy’s voice was melodic and tempting. He reached out and caught Harry’s wrist. “I want you to stay and entertain me. That’s what I want, and I ought to have it.”
~~***~~
Or: After every party they attend together, Harry goes back to Grimmauld and has a wank over Draco Malfoy. Tonight, Harry draws up the Gryffindor courage to ask Mafloy back to his for a shag. And Harry's about to get very lucky.
