I adore reincarnation fics, and this in particular was wonderful! I loved the inevitablility of it all, and the visions when they touched were brilliant, a great thought!

I loved how Merlin was checking out Arthur, and the bit of banter from the past was great too. Jeez, that scene after Merlin tries to hit Arthur... I can see it in my mind's eye, and... well... *clears throat* Yeah. Wow.

I loved that they didn't want to hurt Gwen, that they tried to avoid it, but that she sort of had it figured out anyway, poor girl! Still, Lancelot will come for her soon, I hope.

The ending was amazing, leaving it open like that, I like to believe they did have their happy ending. I love the way you've left it so we can see it carrying on, can see them out there living their lives, not finished, still in the midst of it all. Incredible.

It was really wonderful? I mean it was very different to anything i've written for this fandom before so i'm very nervous. XD Well wouldn't you be checking him out with my chick-lit descriptons and ha ha i'm glad you like that scene, it was my attempt at sorta smut after all. Yeah poor Gwen will find her Lancelot soon. As for the open ending, well it was a rush thing because i wanted to get this up before i went to bed and because i want people to imagine their own endings. Thank you very much for a lovely first comment and what did you think of my lyric choices?

Sorry for late reply!! Have been on holiday and then being sick. Fun.

It was wonderful *nods*

I so would be *drools* ;)

Good to know, I do love Gwen/Lance. And I love Gwen, so long as I don't think about her love life in relation to Arthur and hurting him.

LOL! It may have partly been a rush thing but it worked extremely well!

It is quite alright ;) Brilliant lyrics, I love that Muse song!!

Well I hope you had fun on holiday and I hope you're better now.

Ha ha, I would be too. In fact I asked my mum if I could have a chocolate covered Bradley James for my birthday because that would be even hotter but she said no. That was Adeina's fault I asked for that by the way, she said it and I have a habit of parroting her now XP.

Ha ha, it was very rushed.

The lyrics are good and the Muse song is good. Did you listen to any of the songs you didn't know? I always do when I find lyrics in fics.

P.S I am currently writing an office AU and it's turning out a lot longer then this. I hope you'll read that too.

Oh holy... This was painful and awesome. Gwen is a saint. And Arthur and Merlin are inevitable. Still hurts though. But a happy end makes for a happy reader. ;)

I'm gonna take that as painful/sad and not painful to read ha ha but i'm glad you thought it was awesome. Gwen is a saint and as you said Arthur and Merlin are always gonna get together. Yes, well you can imagine a happy ending though i suppose you're trying to get me to write one ha ha. Thanks for commenting.

XD well i'm glad you're not upset. Hmm well no, Gwen is in love with Arthur but she loves Merlin too. What you don't see is that Gwen is remembering too so she knows they belong together. She's a kind enough person to try and ignore the hurt so two people she loves can be happy y'know? I can see what you're saying though and i may have rushed that bit so bleh. Umm thanks for commenting and i'm glad you enjoyed.

XD it was, I do apologise about that but I wanted to get it done and dusted after spending most of the day on it.

I'm glad you liked the style, it was a different style for me to try.

Thanks for commenting.

I'm kind of flaily in my little corner here. On the one hand, woo reincarnation fic! On the other hand, damn that hurt to read. Stupid, stubborn boys for hiding themselves for so long. Also, poor Gwen. I, almost, wish you had a throwaway mention of Lancelot in the epilogue but the story was about Arthur and Merlin anyway. Thanks for sharing. =)

That is kind of a predicament, they get to live again but to be together they have to deal with the pain.

Yeah stupid stubborn boys but they get to be together in the end =3.

I know, I feel sorry for Gwen but Lancelot will be there for her in the end. I didn't mention him because I wanted it to be open so people could imagine it as happy or sad, they can imagine Gwen with whoever they like but in my head it's a happy ending and she ends up with Lancelot.

XD no, thank you for reading and commenting.
