Winter's Trial is a Merlin/Arthur story by janne_d (8,239 words). It was written for the merlin_flashfic winter challenge.
Summary: The first snows of winter have fallen and Arthur has Merlin to find and a test to pass out in the cold, or neither of them will make it back to Camelot.
The inspiration for this came partially from the Celtic goddess the Cailleach (veiled one or old woman in Gaelic) who personified winter, death and rebirth and reigned from Samhain to Imbolc.[1]
Comments
This was the perfect story to read as it's snowing outside. Beautiful fairytale atmosphere and I loved the fact that this time it was Arthur who rescued Merlin.[2]
I love the whole concept that Merlin's become this big magnet for cold because he pissed off the Winter goddess. Absolutely awesome.[3]
