Aw I like that Arthur gives it a read in the end.

Thank you! And how could he not? :)

‘I was mourning our tragic destiny; I wouldn’t expect you to understand.’
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! *hugs him*

And don't we all know that embarrassing moment when the boss comes in and you're stuck on LOLcats? ;)

Love this!

[karuvapatta]

Thank you!

(And I have this private theory that Merlin would be the kind of person that spends most of his time daydreaming and browsing the net and then works like crazy to get everything done in time; and whenever Arthur walks in on him, Merlin would go all like "But Arthur! It's essential to the creative process!". And Arthur would be endlessly frustrated because *he's* the kind of person that paces himself and works hard to meet all the deadlines.

I might be projecting though.)

Oh, I so know the feeling. I open FB before Outlook in the morning.... *grins*

Thanks! The ending was kind-of a last-minute addition, so I'm glad it worked out well! :)

Oh I loved that... the beginning broke my heart, but the end was just gorgeous, especially the way Arthur read it in the end!

[karuvapatta]

Not-so-secretly, Arthur is Merlin's biggest fan. Heh.

And I'm glad you liked it!

[karuvapatta]
