Thanks! Heh, I know, the PTB are really dragging this out, but hopefully our heroes will come out the stronger for it. :)

Glad you liked!

This is just lovely.

[angelqueen04]

Thank you! :D

Thank you so much for writing every emotion I felt during that scene. Oh that scene was just heart wrenching. And you capture it all in the perfect amount of words. You brought Gwen's voice in so beautifully when she wasn't even there. You showed how in that moment, Arthur's facade came crashing down. You showed the pain that linked he and Merlin in that one so poignant scene. Oh I love this.

Thank you so much for posting. A beautiful companion to one of my favorite scenes on this show.

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! That scene in the forest was so incredibly beautiful. Not a word was said, but Arthur's face still managed to say everything. You could just see every single emotion he'd been holding back or burying come roaring back to the surface, and oh my, the heart! It breaks!

I especially loved the shots we had of Merlin watching Arthur. You could see the tears in his eyes, and how he was suffering the loss of Gwen as much as Arthur. I really think they both rely on her more than they ever knew, until now when she's gone.

Thanks again! :)

Perfect companion piece to what we saw on our screens. Perfect!

I hope their reunion will be iconic!

[angelqueen04]

Thanks! I too have huge hopes for the Gwen/Arthur reunion! There needs to be serious epic there! :)

Oh, this was lovely. I really liked it, it felt so true to how I can imagine Arthur was thinking. And oh, him and Merlin and the ring that was so nice. Loved it!

(I need an icon of all three of them, I really do)

[angelqueen04]

Thank you! That scene really spoke to me. I'll have to go back and watch it again just so I can see the emotions and the angst (because Bradley seriously wins at face-acting).

There needs to be more OT3 icons in the world. :D
