FUCK YEAH CHRISTMAS IN JULYYYY

The tree was, in its own way, sort of oddly beautiful. Initially, Arthur had been wary of the whole idea, but Merlin had insisted. Christmases, in the Pendragon family were tightly scheduled affairs, with lots of networking parties and meticulously posed family photographs that would, inevitably, end up collecting dust on Uther’s mantle.

That was really cute. I liked the idea of Arthur puzzling over the maraconi glitter ornament. Very sweet.

Thank you! I just had this vision of Arthur being all posh and manly trying to figure out why someone would cover pasta in glitter and hang it from a tree :)

Everyday should be Christmas if we get great fic like this! ♥ I loved it. I'm grinning like a fool, really. ^_^

Haha, thank you! I've never written anything Christmasy before, but for some reason Merlin AUs hit my domestic kink, and well, it had to be done.

*laughs* Very sweet. It's good to know that Merlin is always there, to compensate Arthur for his deprived childhood.

Oh! I love Christmas fics! XD (I can't really judge you, 'cause I sing Christmas songs every day except when it's actually Christmas... Annoys the tar out of my sister.) I found wonderful how Arthur and Merlin decide to celebrate Christmas in July! XD Lovely fic! It was sweet and very cute. I grinned like a loon when I read this. :D

Thank you! I was going to make it real Christmas, but I figured since it's the middle of summer real Christmas!fic can wait.

Merlin caught him one afternoon with a macaroni and glitter ornament, a remnant of Merlin’s childhood, turning it over and over in his hands, like it was a puzzle to be solved. And Merlin’s heart had broken a little then, at the sight of him cross-legged on the unlit hearth and lost to the world, until he’d put the ornament aside and pressed Arthur into the carpet, kissing away whatever ghosts lingered in the thick summer air.

Love this - it sounds so much like them. Well done.
