He doesn't know how to define it, whatever it is about Merlin that makes Arthur want to shrink him down to a size so he could carry him around in his pocket, to keep Merlin safe.

Yay, for Mini!Merlin! I can so see that. It would make for some awesome crack. Sadly I am unable to write Crack. *sigh*

Anway loved this story, loved the comfort and they didn't even kiss. This was great friendship!fic and I do like Arthur realizing that the whole thing changed not only Merlin but in extension Arthur, too.

Hmmm...crack mini!merlin. Definitely something to ponder.

Thanks for the comment =) I actually usually don't write strictly friendship fic, so I am glad it worked!

*sigh*

Y'know why I love this so much? Besides the great writing and characterisation and general loveliness? Because it means I can get over the only thing that really irritated me about the show - that Merlin was best friends with this boy for his whole life but gets over his death seemingly instantaneously. So now I can just slot this in between episodes 10 and 11 and everything is beautiful.

I *know*. I couldn't believe they brushed it under the rug like that. I was also disappointed in Arthur's reaction to Will's death and the whole sorcery thing. I felt like they spent the whole episode building him up, showing us what a great leader/person he's become, and then he's just a prat again.

But I am glad you like it =)

This was great. I loved how Merlin mourned and Arthur was able to help him a bit. This makes perfect sense! Wonderful!

I am such a sucker for hurt/comfort when it comes to these two. Glad you liked it =)

Awww! I loved this. Merlin crying in Arthur's bed just had me practically in tears myself. What a great scene.

I really liked your Arthur in this. And Merlin, too, crushed by this grief he can't even express.

I did more than a little blubbering while I wrote that scene, believe me.

Glad you enjoyed it =)
