Summary
What could be make the winter holidays worse for Arthur than having to entertain the surly King Olaf and his still-entirely-love-smitten daughter Lady Vivian?
Why, doing it during an outbreak of magical mistletoe all over Camelot castle, of course!
Canon compliant (-ish), set between Series 4 and 5, full of lots of banter and general shenanigans.
Thanks as always to my lovely beta reader BlueSimplicity.

Summary
Arthur bites back another sigh. Gwen already told them, smiling and unknowing, that they would have to share a room because the hotel was so booked already, and they wouldn’t mind, would they, after they had shared a room and a flat for so long at university?
He’d survive, somehow. They had shared a room and later a flat, after all. Maybe he hadn’t been a pathetic, pining mess back then, but there’d still be two beds, and it was only three nights.
Three weeks ago, Arthur ended their friends with benefits arrangement because he'd done what everyone tells you not to do and caught feelings. And alright, maybe he didn't exactly go about it in the best of ways, but he thinks having to share a bed with Merlin for three nights is a rather harsh punishment, even for karma's proportions.

Summary
The thing is, Merlin has been thinking about it. About Arthur and the grief that he wears like penance, how he fits so easily into the spot beside Merlin. How he always has, and how, for all his talk about leaving, he does not seem to be in a hurry.
Between circus shows and late nights, Merlin and Arthur figure themselves out, one step at a time.

Summary
London is dreary and rainy and drenched in the misery of January, but Merlin is bright and laughing and full of warmth, and it has nothing to do with the fact that he’s on the other side of the earth and currently caught up in the throes of summer. Arthur's so, so fucked.
You're not supposed to miss your friend with benefits. Or well, at least you're not supposed to miss them as more than a friend. Arthur fails rather miserably at the task, but then, Merlin has been more than a friend for a long time. And it was rather rude of him to piss off all the way to New Zealand. For a whole year.
Or, Merlin learns to be patient, and Arthur learns to be spontaneous.

Summary
The silhouette is backlit from the headlights on the Mini Cooper and he’s maybe hit his head harder than he thought because it almost looks like…
“Merlin?”
And Merlin feels as though his heart is exploding in his chest because that voice and his real name and as he looks up...the golden hair reflected in the light from the car.
Arthur Pendragon is standing, completely starkers, in the middle of the road leading up to Lake Avalon.
