Oh, dear. I hate that what should have been a joyous reunion is turning out so horribly. Poor Merlin.

Merlin isn't happy but he does love Arthur so there is that. Thanks.

Wow, so he got Arthur as a present. That's so wonderful and so weird at the same time. :)

LOL, yes, and Merlin is highly suspicious of the whole thing. But Arthur's the only thing he ever really wanted so it's a perfect gift.

This is a truly unusual take on Arthur's return, but all the more interesting for that. Poor Merlin really can't catch a break, even with Arthur returned. It would sting his heartterribly that Arthur didn't remember those final days after Camlann.

I wanted to do something quite different. Thanks so much. I was a little bit afraid of Santa being such an iconic figure that the reader wouldn't see him as anything but completely good.
