A/N: Wow, almost forgot to post tonight. (Shame, Mel, really.) How was everyone's Thanksgiving? (Please tell me there was lots of pie. I love pie!) Anyone going shopping? (Please be safe if you are.) Wow, that's a lot of parentheses in one little author's note. Oh, btw. If you've reviewed or PM'd me and I haven't responded in ages, I promise, I'm not ignoring you! Life's been a little nuts, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can, I swear!

So, because Merlin and Co. wouldn't have celebrated Thanksgiving, I decided to do something a little different, but no less heartfelt. And I wanted some Gwen and Merlin friendship, because let's face it, they're awesome!

Enjoy!

70. Thankful

Merlin dragged his feet as he walked home for the evening. Arthur had been particularly moody all day, and Gaius was traveling to a distant village that had been struck by a plague.

Merlin was tired, hungry, and only slightly irritable as a result.

It wasn't until he slipped through the door that he realized the room was warm, and a full meal stood on the table.

He looked around, suspicious of fairies or something.

No magical creatures were present, but Guinevere was. "Figured you wouldn't be cooking,"
she explained teasingly.

Merlin cracked a smile. "Well, I'm glad you are."


Cheers!
