Oh wow, I have to start off first by saying how much I loved Arthur's reaction to being inside Merlin, seemingly feeling complete. It was done superbly well and made so much sense considering their situation. You really feel just how connected they are with moments like that. Not to mention, I love how Arthur could feel Merlin's pain when Merlin was talking about Balinor. That was utterly beautiful and I really really really hope that they don't end up breaking that bond because I'd love to read more moments like that!...who cares if they can't go more than 10 miles away form each other!? O.o lol

Another moment I completely loved, was when Merlin and Arthur couldn't decide who was going to go into the 'creepy house' first. That was SO true to character, I could easily imagine that happening on the show, with or without the bond. It was brilliant to read! Oh and not forgetting I loved the 'were-going-to-die' kiss at the end. That, again, felt very true to Arthur's character of getting almost hysterical before a major fight.

Brilliant story, as always! I am thoroughly enjoying reading it and can't wait to read more!.... even if that does involve their bond breaking. :(

Yay! Your comments make me like the happiest person ever, you should know :D. THANK YOU!!

I'm glad to hear you liked Arthur being able to actually feel Merlin's pain. I actually was trying to show that there was a strengthening of their bond following the sex, so hopefully that came across at least somewhat :). And yes... Arthur's an emotional cripple at times, which is why it's hard for him to deal with such powerful emotions when it comes to Merlin. But I think he's growning and learning and getting there slowly, hee! ;)

Thanks so much and I hope you enjoy the next few parts!! :D
