TEN REASONS I LOVE THIS FIC ABSOLUTELY, WHICH YOU ALREADY KNOW:loftilyMarch 16 2009, 04:49:43 UTC
01. PHALLIC BEANSTALK. 02. This line: His stupid hair clips the setting sun, gets nicked on the edge of it, and catches alight. Colin smiles. 03. But just now there's something dark and bitter twisting inside him and waiting to lash out like one of Valiant's snakes - pride or hurt or something worse Colin doesn't really want to think about. Before he can stop himself, he hears his own voice answer, calm and cold, "Who said anything about friends?" and lets the door shut behind him on Bradley's stricken face. 04. How Angel knows Colin loves Merlin. 05. ANGEL'S OTHER KATIE. 06. That second surge of hope, I love it so :( 07. WORLD'S MOST INCOMPETENT BODYGUARDS. 08. How many words Colin has for Bradley's kiss, ahahaha. 09. "You're the biggest bullshitter, you - oh, oh, Bradley, that, yes," Colin says, and Bradley rocks against him and cradles him tight, murmuring hot, wet apologies into Colin's throat, pressing stupid, blind affection everywhere against his skin.10. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

why hello Bradley's jawlineloftilyMarch 16 2009, 05:13:14 UTC
YES, SUCCESS, GO TEAM RPS
That was not really supposed to sound like a cheer, but it did. Also, Hil Duff, you my girl. I still want someone to make an Arthur fanvid to "Someone's Watching Over Me." And whatever, this fic was made of awesome before I even started reading it.
I keep refreshing this post hoping someone else will have commented. I forget they are probably reading slowly to savor the joy of it.

THEY ARE THE ORIGINAL TEAM CASTLE *wolf whistle*
I would hope that everyone else is IN BED LIKE WE SHOULD BE. I love posting fics late at night because when you go to bed it's kind of like CHRISTMAS OR EASTER, knowing you could wake up and find a whole basket of fic reviews. like EGGS <333333
Je suis CRYING WITH LAUGHTER. KATIE AT THE END, HAHAHAHAHAHA.
This fic makes me extremely happy because while I've read a few C/B fics that I've believed to be true to their personalities, none of them have ever been so hesitant and questioning before, and I think that brings something realistic and also extremely compelling to their relationship. My God, these boys, my heart is kind of overflowing with love for them right now. ♥♥♥
I ALSO HEART YOUR IMPROBABLY PROBABLE MERLIN SCENES. Like, I feel that I cannot imagine them happening, and then I recall the Labyrinth of Gay Angst and realize that I actually can, in glorious detail. I don't know whether that is a compliment to you, or the subtext-loving writing staff over at the BBC, but it made me smile and roll my eyes in fond despair, either way.
Last night after I finished writing this I ran across the clip where Katie is SLASHING ARTHUR AND MERLIN RIGHT THERE ON THE DVD COMMENTARY, i was like OH KATIE I KNEW YOU WERE ONE OF US, I KNEW IT.
( ... )
Also, I love the fact that I'm PRETTY SURE AT LEAST TWO OF THOSE SCENES WILL ACTUALLY HAPPEN. (There should be some sort of betting pool on Merlin, like, "5000 words say that they'll huddle for warmth by 2x08", "7000 by 2x04!" etc.)
Ugh, I keep getting distracted by your Bradley icons.
My Bradley icons make a habit of being distracting.
OH GOD, THEY'VE ALREADY HAD GIANT CAT-CREATURES, SINGING WITCHES, AND ROMANTICALLY INCLINED DRAGONS, I DON'T THINK AT THIS POINT GIANT BEANSTALKS ARE OUT OF THE QUESTION. Actually I wish they'd just have a fairytale arc where every week they fought trolls and met talking snakes and dodged poison apples, and OBVS MERLIN WOULD BE SNOW WHITE.
