I love the beginning of this. Can't wait to read the actual story! :)

[valderys]

Not quite the beginning, but close :) Can't wait for the 5th myself either!

I'm definitely intrigued by the opening and Merlin as King is a fascinating premise. Another story I can't wait to read :)

[valderys]

There's a lot of them, isn't there? I can't wait to read other people's!

[chymist]

This sounds so cool! So! Cool!

[chymist]

I find your pasty!Arthur icon very appropriate. :]

[valderys]

Hee. I do like this icon - it's a litte black dress of icons, I use it far more than I thought I would!

[snarkydame]

Merlin is King? INteresting . . . this could be really good!

[valderys]

Well, he's a reluctant King, but well - yes :)

[adelagia]

Oooh... really intriguing!

[valderys]

I hope so - these previews are quite tricky to get the balance right on, I do hope I have! :)
