It's not exactly mid-winter but close enough and I read it last night and I was so tired but I couldn't tear my eyes away from the screen. It's an Arthur/Merlin Modern AU everyone ought to have read by now.

A/S: True love and soul mates are myths. Arthur's always believed that. Fate, however, has a different opinion on the matter, and Morgana happens to agree. Unfortunately, she's always right about these things.
This AU is magical, in every sense. Morgana and Merlin have the most useless superpowers of the world, Uther is actually amazing in his own way, Gwen and Lancelot are the sappiest, nicest couple ever, Leon is long-suffering but he's doing it right, the OCs are amazing and the story is just perfect because it looks like life. Just, so much love.
