A scene that could have been sliced directly from Merlin canon. I really like the tone of this and Arthur's troubled introspection even after Merlin's sharing his tent.

solar_cat January 29 2009, 02:16:56 UTC

Wow, thank you so much! That's really such a huge compliment. <3 I'm so glad you enjoyed it! =D

bewarethesmirk January 29 2009, 02:22:42 UTC

No problem! I mean, the writing is awesome. I probably should've mentioned that, too.

How are you enjoying the snow/slush/rain/shit? :P

solar_cat January 29 2009, 02:25:22 UTC

*blush* Oh, stop! Except don't. Really. Keep telling me how wonderful I am. *preens* XD

Oh, it's lovely. >\ Though I suppose I picked a good week to be out with a sprained back rather than commuting to work? *attempts to find a silver lining*

Oh, Arthur. Just when I think I can't love you more, you prove me wrong.

Beautifully done! ♥

solar_cat January 29 2009, 02:23:43 UTC

\0/ Thank you so much!! *is a bit of a massive Arthur fangirl herself*

eosrose January 29 2009, 02:26:12 UTC

He totally makes me melt into a puddle of goo whenever he's being noble. It's terrible.

solar_cat January 29 2009, 02:29:49 UTC

Merlin IS pretty, isn't he. :D I love that Arthur freaks out about him (and the fact that Arthur could have brought all these servants and only brought Merlin). <3

solar_cat January 29 2009, 03:09:53 UTC

He is, he is indeed! =D

(Arthur freaks out over Merlin because Arthur is a possessive bastard. *srs nod*)

<3 *luvs*

rainchild January 29 2009, 03:41:16 UTC

Posessive bastard!Arthur is the best kind of Arthur. :D

solar_cat January 29 2009, 03:42:31 UTC

Hee. He's my favorite kind, anyway! XD

shinetheway January 29 2009, 02:34:22 UTC

Wow. WOW.

An outstanding blend of period atmosphere, canonical Arthur-being-a-protective-woobie, and excellent writing. [grins] Now, about that sequel...

solar_cat January 29 2009, 03:11:14 UTC

Eeee, thank you!! =DDD That's definitely high praise, thank you so much! *is proud of herself*

*is a bit in love with Arthur-being-a-protective-woobie. just a bit. XD *

hollyxu January 29 2009, 02:38:22 UTC

It's so like Arthur to call Merlin back while pretending to be asleep, lol.

Nicely done!

solar_cat January 29 2009, 03:13:56 UTC

Thank you! =D And thank you so much for the beta, bb! <3 *smushes you*
