Arthur kissed him again fiercely and Leon yielded to his demands as he collapsed back against Arthur’s luxurious bed. Leon knew what drove Arthur’s possessiveness, his desperate need to claim. “You have nothing to fear,” Leon assured as they parted. Arthur’s all too expressive eyes said so much. Leon reached up and caressed his cheek. “He wants you,” Arthur forced out. That was probably true. Bedivere wasn’t hiding his interest. But that didn’t matter. At least not to Leon.

And also @letleonfest​ 😏

Largely inspired by @nomorezerocomments & @justleaveacommentfest.

As of this moment there are 68,344 fics on Ao3 in the Merlin fandom tag, and 9,741 of those have 0 comments, some which have hundreds and hundreds of kudos and even bookmarks but no comments.

There's plenty more that only have a few comments and yet are beloved by fandom. And this is just from a quick glance at ao3, I'm not even counting fanfiction.net, LiveJournal, here on Tumblr, and all the other fanfic places I'm not thinking of right now!

The goal of this is to (of course) comment on fanfic but also to interact with the community. Reblog fanfic, fanart, fan videos, edit, and all the other lovely things each other has made, as well checking up on fandom friends and just have a good time with each other.

And after all with the holiday season upon us, comments are the best gift to the fellow people in the community!
