Oh, that was spot-on with Arthur in particular, and I love how you used Merlin's patterns of speech to map the moods and movements of the scene. Just lovely.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D

This was the first Merlin fic I ever read, and it was an absolutely wonderful story. Great job.

[beggar_always]

Glad you enjoyed it! (I would've felt bad if your first experience had been a bad one.) Thanks for commenting! :)

YAY! Thank you, that was perfect. I've been keeping my fingers crossed all week going 'I want a Merlin story, an apocalyptic Merlin story' and here it is :)

[beggar_always]

Yay! I'm glad you liked it! :D

P.S. - Despite this prompt hitting me from the beginning with the plot bunnies, I also semi-started fics for a couple of your other prompts. Someday, they might turn into actual fics; if they ever do, I'll be sure to let you know. Thanks for such awesome requests! :)

This was fantastic! Great characterization with Arthur. And Merlin, so so earnest. I enjoyed the apocalypse ;)

Thank you! This was my first time writing anything for Merlin so I was nervous about the characterization. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
