Oh, thank you! ♥ yeah, I felt really sad drawing it, especially when I was trying to imagine Arthur's devastated expression. I rewatched Uther's death scene to get the feel of it and, well. ;___;

Give it a shot! It is sad though, you're right.

PJ! *hugs* Thank you for your kind words. I was trying for the gritty, dark feeling of the setting, and I'm glad it came across as such for you.

UGHHHH gross sobbing seriously I was both devastated and ecstatic when I found out which Merlin characters QM had in mind for the original Les Mis roles, because... I'm quite masochistic, clearly.

That's really fantastic feedback, I really appreciate it. This time around I was trying to really get the atmosphere 'right', and that was challenging with the colours. Again, I'm glad you interpreted it as such. ♥

Thank you again! x

Oh wow!! These are incredible bb!! I know the story of Les Mis, so I know what's going on here (more or less) and oh man, my heart's been ripped out by that last one. But the kiss in the alley!! OMG, that is brilliant! The title page is gorgeous too, love the three portraits. Merlin's pose...well, you did some beautiful foreshadowing there. I didn't even have to wonder which role was his once I saw that <3

Bravo my dear! A thousand kudos to you!!

Gun shots ring out and everyone dies, pretty much. XD I'm really glad you liked that kiss in the alley, it's one of my favourites this PL! And the last one too, it accidentally ended up being a lot more emotional than what I was going for.

!! Thanks, sweetie, I'm glad the title page works for you. And AHA I'd hoped it worked! XD I was trying to make him look as broken as possible, poor thing.

♥ Thank you so much.

These are... ... ... Beautiful. Gorgeous. Heartbreaking. You know I shy away from major character death for my very own reasons. But who could resist the beauty of this art you've created? You've captured so much emotion here... the desperation is practically pouring out of it. I can't take my eyes of Arthur's distraught face in the last one. I'm close to bawling just by looking at it. You're amazing, bb! *Hugs*

[blood_songs90]

Zaira! Thank you so much. Emotion was a struggle for me to lock down in these but I'm glad you think they depicted enough! *hugs too* Your comment means a lot, especially when you describe how much you've been affected by it.

When you showed this to me, I didn't realize it for a Les Mis fusion, ahhhh! *FLAILS AND SOBS AND SSSSSSSSSSSSDJSDFJKHGK*
