Merlin, you spent half an hour last night telling me, in no uncertain terms, that you did not, in fact, wanked to A Christmas Carol when you were fourteen. You said the word wank so much, with gestures I might add—as if I didn’t know what wanking was—that you have forever ruined this timeless, wonderful, tale that was, until last night, free of any masturbation connotations. So really, what’s another classic tale bastardised by queers and ill-timed teenage wank jobs?

Arthur just gave him a smile. “I said I’d give you a tour.” “I can’t help but notice that you’re not answering my question. Granted, you’d be a much younger, and much fitter, Santa, but… could happen.” “I like that you’re struggling with the fact that I’m not old and fat, and not with the small, inconsequential detail of whether or not Santa exists in the first place.” “I didn’t know that was even in question.” “Well, no.

There is a pause and Morgana barely has the decency to turn her head away from the phone as she yells, “I swear to fucking God, Morgause, if you burn the muffins I will fire you. I will fucking fire your gorgeous ass.”
