7.

Characters or pairings you'd like to see featured? Besides Gwaine, Arthur foremost (Gwaine/Arthur would be awesome). Merlin and the other knights would be great, too (as friends, but I'd be interested in Gwaine/Leon romance too!). Prompts: Gwaine finding home and hope in Camelot (basically, a missing scene between S3 and S4). Gwaine sharing a personal holiday tradition with one or more of the boys. As many of the boys as you want having a peaceful and joyful gathering in Arthur's chambers. Gwaine and Percival getting up to no-good in the castle during the holiday festivities (and maybe dragging some of the other knights into it). Any tropes that really get you excited? For Gwaine/Arthur - soul bonds/marks. And generally speaking, I just like the idea of brotherhood among the knights (+ warlock)...is that a trope? Favorite wintery things? What winter holidays might you like to see featured? Christmas Squicks, triggers, or other content you do NOT want in your fill: Dub/non-con between the main pairing. Pure smut (Nothing against it! I'd just like something more character-driven this time). Anything else you'd like your match to know? Just how excited I am to see what they create! :)

When a dozen sorcerers attack as part of an ambush, it’s up to Merlin to defend Camelot's knights against them all.

But when Gwaine tries to save Merlin and is hit by a deadly spell, Merlin’s instincts kick in and he knows he must end the fighting. Now.

And it's only with clever and instinctive use of magic that Merlin has any chance of saving his friend.
