Title: Legend of the Accursed Fruitcake of Camlann
Author: kantayra
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Harry/Draco, Dumbledore/Grindelwald, the Founders, plenty of other random nonsense
Prompt(s): Long Prompt 25. Ancient fruitcake that’s been passed on family to family, year to year because everyone’s too afraid to eat it.
Warnings: Crack, silliness, too much fruitcake.
Summary: The Accursed Fruitcake of Camlann was said to have been a rejected Christmas present from Morgana to Merlin, forever doomed to pass on from wizard to wizard, bringing its curse upon all who dared regift it. This is its epic story over the ages and how one brave wizard finally defeated the Accursed Fruitcake’s evil spell.
Word Count: 3,537
Disclaimer: I own a sentient fruitcake and not much else.
A/N: The Ballad of the Accursed Fruitcake of Camlann is shamelessly ripped-off from The Cruel Sister, which is a perfectly lovely ballad and did not deserve this at all. Endless thanks to my lovely beta, who slew my typos and provided about half the jokes in this when I was stumped (the funny ones are all hers).
