I loved how Arthur is really thinking about Merlin's welfare. The whole tangled legs is just gorgeous. Great job.

Thanks. This scene was so simple to build on, the fic wrote itself.

Oh yes, I can 'see' this scene playing out and better than the original. Good job!

Thanks for the praise

What a beautiful description of this moment.

Sir Leon will be the only knight likely to argue about this. Lancelot and Gwaine follow Merlin rather than Camelot's Regent. Percival will follow Gwaine and Elyan will follow Percival. Arthur doesn't care, because he has Merlin's loyalty and Merlin will follow him whether Arthur wants him to or not. So by one or by all, Merlin will be taken to Camelot and there he will recover, because Merlin always does.

AWW, yes. :) That is ~exactly~ how it works.

The knights are like slashy trail of breadcrumbs leading us to a gingerbread house.

Beautiful, cant wait 4 ep 2.

4.02 was disappointing after that incredible beginning. Hope the second half of the fic doesn't follow suit :/

Lovely. I particularly love the end - Lancelot and Gwaine follow Merlin rather than Camelot's Regent. Percival will follow Gwaine and Elyan will follow Percival. Arthur doesn't care, because he has Merlin's loyalty and Merlin will follow him whether Arthur wants him to or not.
So true.

The complex relationships between Merlin, Arthur and the Knights are delightful. ^_^
