Merlin: The Crown of the Summer Court (Merlin/Arthur)

[astolat]

I think this story started when I said to rageprufrock, haha, I'm thinking of writing a fusion with the Merry Gentry series of books, and she did not immediately tell me I was insane, even though clearly I was. So this is very loosely inspired by that series. You don't need to have read them, although possibly it is a warning if you have; for those who haven't

You write the best stories ever. Absolutely wonderful and such a delight to read. Arthur's growth as a character is enjoyable to watch, and I love how he stuck by Merlin's side throughout everything.

I love how they are bonded, even from the very beginning, even when they didn't know.

My favourite part is when Merlin enables Arthur to get the Excalibur, that Merlin reaches out through time and space to get it.

*starts re-reading*

*beams!* I was very pleased with the Excalibur bit myself, yay! :DDDDD

This was fantastic! I especially loved the image of Merlin & Arthur pulling Excalibur from a basin. Very cool. And the ending was just perfect.

*happy sigh*

omg, I was going to say thank you, but I am distracted beyond reason by the gorgeousness of your icon instead. ♥_♥ (I may possibly have rewatched that one scene on a daily basis for weeks now.)

Thank you! I love him so much in that shot. I know he's supposed to look smug and prattish, but to me it looks very affectionate.

Anyway, now that I'm a little more coherent than last time, I also wanted to add that you really have a knack for posting fic that makes a bad day better. Thank you.

Only partway in, but:

What the hell was on with these lords choosing women to stand for them, Arthur damned well wanted to know; were they all a pack of cowards?

Ahahahahah oh Arthur. I think you've been accidentally declared Merlin's boyfriend.

[astolat]

haha, poor Arthur, how could he know! *grin grin grin*

[jmtorres]

Queen Arthur! *beaming* Oh, that was excellent.

GLEE! GLEEEEEEE!! GLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I can't stop grinning! Arthur stripping naked for the tournament! Finding out he fought a woman! Discovering champions are consorts! Merlin's magic piling furniture in front of the door when they go to bed! Morgana being smart, always!!! And Arthur being Merlin's king and Merlin being Arthur's. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

[astolat]

*glees back!*

Personally I feel that all Camelot's tournaments should involve stripping naked beforehand. *writes letter to producers*

Oh dear God. Please forgive me for not being able to leave coherent feedback, m'kay? This is just going to be one long idiotic babbling comment about how much I love this story and how much I love you and all of your work. And how utterly awesome this story was. . . from the cool plot and the hot sex and the great one liners and how smart Morgana is and how sweet Arthur is and how amazing Merlin is and how perfect Gwen was and how perfectly mercenary Uther was and how hilariously dry Gaius was. {sigh} I'll shut up now.

[astolat]

I will somehow find a way to forgive you! *grins* so glad you liked! :D
