brb *crying over this fic*

I loved this AU where Arthur will always be a good person, especially since he's not as influenced by his father. He's the one that has to be accepted into a community instead of Merlin~ And their bond is more powerful than a dragon's prophecy and change destiny~ I thought Morgana would always be a great queen too!

I hope that you'll write more stories in this verse!

OH WOW. This fic. Oh my heart. He's a farmer. A simple farmer with Merlin at his side. Love this so very very very very much.

I remember this one. It was lovely and so warm considering it was bittersweet to me. Arthur would never be king of Albion. But I loved that they grew up together pretty much and all the things going on just made this a terrific read.

*is incoherent* Oh my goodness, this is beautiful! *sniffle* Everything about it is wonderful, especially all the snippets of news that came from Camelot each spring, and the way Morgana ruled and Hunith taking Arthur in and omg everything. *flail* :') I haven't read any Merlin fic for ages, but the summary for this just caught my eye and I am so glad I decided to read it because it's so gorgeous! :D

This is so lovely! I just adore inept farmer!Arthur who'd rather stay in Ealdor with Merlin than return to Camelot without him.
