I’m here.

Arthur knew it already, had felt the intrusion. He was used to it now. He was strong. He’d held out so far. He could hold out again. This wasn’t forever. Emrys would come for him. Arthur could stand it. He could.

You know how this goes, Arthur.

Yes, he knew. There would be the question, the same one, over and over. There was no need to

Wonderful! This is so suspenseful and tense. You leave me wishing to see the implied next scene.

[clea2011]

Thanks :D (I don't think Morgana would enjoy the next scene much.)

You are SO DAMNED GOOD!! This was written masterfully, the slow build of the torture and the break at the end...perfect.

Poor Arthur ;_;

Aw, thanks for the kind comment. I think I have a bit of a thing for Arthur whump... :D

oh my god.. This is brilliant, absolutely brilliant. You seem to build a whole universe with so little words. Also Bamf!Merlin ftw.

[clea2011]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. The world needs more Bamf!Merlin, I think :D

[preciousarthur]

That was amazing! It was so intense, and then Merlin at the end... Wow!

[clea2011]

Thank you, glad you liked it :D

Merlin to the rescue, just in time. Nice.
And I really liked the way you bookended the story with the same greeting; one so much more welcome than the other.

Thanks, the bookending was the first thing I thought of, then the rest fell in around it. :)
