So heartbreacking and raw. And feels so like them, so natural, and with so few words. Amazing.

Hey, thanks! It's been months and months since I wrote and I had a hard time getting back into that mindset. Wish the show was still on...

Wow. Just wow. Makes me ache in all the right places. :)

[luxorien]

Ha, thanks! As long as it's the good kind. :D

Oh, wow, so short and still hurts a lot to read. This is good angst :)

[luxorien]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for the comment. I'm still trying to get back in the swing of writing, heh.

Ohhhh my god. This was such an amazing, heartbreaking piece. In so few words, you've managed to tear my heart out unequivocally, and then stomp on it ow ow ow. I can vividly hear those footsteps, those knells, and see Arthur walking away in a corridor, the distance increasing between them. Beautiful work <3

I'd like to say I could put the pieces back together, but...I don't seem to be very good at that, lol. Thanks so much for the comment.

This is amazing - hit me right in the feels. That ending especially, the way Arthur can't look at Merlin but is still begging him to save himself...damn. So good.

Oh, ty. I was worried it wouldn't be clear that Merlin could basically just walk out any time he wanted. I've often wondered whether Merlin would allow himself to be executed in order to prove his loyalty...
