Disclaimer: We do not own Merlin. We'd be much richer and more satisfied with the story if we did.

Artist’s Notes: I knew it was a risk deciding to do the rarest of rare pairs for a fest, but clotpolesonly created a story so wonderful that it made me glad that I chose to do it. I hope even people who have never even considered Freya/Vivian as a ship see the charm and potential it holds.
Author’s Notes: This was definitely an experiment, lol, as in it was a lot of things I’d never written before. But I had a lot of fun writing it, even if it was a challenge! Any prompt that pushes my boundaries as a writer is a good prompt by me, especially when it’s such gorgeous art <3

Summary:

“You fancy ladies, you say?”

“So what if I do?” Freya asked through gritted teeth.

Old Man Em just nodded to himself, like he was pleased with her answer-not a response she had ever gotten before. Then he brought a hand up to stroke his beard contemplatively and said, “What about castles? How do you feel about those?”

“They’re…fine?” she said slowly.

“Ladies in castles?”

“Why are you asking me all these questions?” Freya demanded, horrified to feel a blush creeping up on her cheeks at the leading tone in Em’s words.
