Oh my, how deliciously angsty! I feel horrible for poor Gwaine, he loves Merlin so. Ugh, who am I kidding? I feel for all of them.

Lovely trio of fics, can't wait to see where you take this next!

It hasn't been a good week for Gwaine has it? :( But I was hoping for a continuation of this series from you this week! Loved it again!

It certainly hasn't. Poor Gwaine. Thanks :)

Oh, man, I know I'm selfish, but I want Gwaine to get him. Poor Gwaine always gets shafted. :(

Thanks for sharing!

I wish I could say that he wasn't going to this time, but there is a hole I've written myself into. If it's any consolation, my beta reader is a huge Gwaine/Merlin fan and totally agrees with you. :)

Somebody's going to get their heart broken and I think it's going to have to be Gwaine. Merlin doesn't love him and that's not going to change just because he doesn't want to hurt his friend.
