AWWWWWWWWWWWWESOME!

Every time I read this story, I just love it more. I love your cheeky Merlin, with his backbone and his snark and his sweetness and all his feelings (look, I can use italics, too!) *g* I love your repressed Arthur, yearning for something more than footie glory (hint: it's Merlin!). I love your hilarious Elena, nobly rakish Gwaine, and my God, your Gaius is note perfect

YOUR LOVE FOR THIS STORY MAKES ME FEEL ALL WARM AND FUZZY INSIDE.

There is nothing I can say to you that I haven't said already. You are THE BEST IN THE WORLD.

HA. Get it????? =D

This is a fantastic read! There's just the right amount of fluff and angst, and you've captured the sexual tension between the boys perfectly. Characterization is also spot on - Arthur, Merlin, Gaius, all so congruent with the actual show! I haven't had much time for fics lately, but I'm so glad I gave this one a shot!

I am so happy to hear everything balanced out - I've never written anything this long, so it was hard to tell at times.

Thank you for taking the time to read, and to comment!

OMG this - oh this - is so ADORABLE!!!!!! *adds to memories* I love the whole healing magic with Merlin and the footiness of Arthur and the crew (with a side of Elena/Gwaine and Leon/Morgana FTW)!!! Just WONDERFUL!!!

[anna_zee]

YAY! Thank you so much! I think Arthur and the knights lend themselves quite well to footiness =)

I am glad you decided to give it a shot =) Thank you!

Yay it's finally up! And it's so, so fabulous, I have read this fic so many times I feel like I have it memorised and yet every time I read it I'm still utterly entranced by the characters (especially Elena, she was my sneaky dark horse favourite in this fic and I've come out of it shipping her and Gwaine so so hard :D) and the plot and even though I know full well it will end with bakery-goodness and make-outs I still get heartbroken and sad by Arthur rejecting Merlin.

Your worldbuilding is fabulous, I really felt like this was a club with all the day-to-day detail of fixtures and physio and the reality of it, with teenage crushes that turn into adult relationships and sex and awkwardness and a failure to communicate and I JUST LOVE IT OKAY?

I'm so happy and grateful that this fic exists in the world and you've been able to finish it and share it with the world at last and I know it's going to get an AWESOME reception. Congratulations, you are fabulous and brilliant and so, so talented and I LOVE IT <3333
