I’d also like to remind everyone that over on the Ao3 collection we're bookmarking fics that fit the theme, but weren’t actually made for the fest. So if you’re still in the mood for some married!Merthur, check them out! And if you know of any fic that should be there, let us know!
I would love to hear your thoughts about this fest. If we should do it again next year, and if so, any general suggestions that might make it better.
Thank you all so much! 💙
