Oh, so sad. I loved how Arthur and he had talked about it but that Merlin couldn't do what he asked. Well done.

[caughtfire]

Thank you very much!

Oh my goodnes this is Heartbraking, I feel for both of two in this.

Aww, this is so sad! *wants to hug Merlin* Poor, poor darling! *weeps*

Beautiful ficlet! I rather think Merlin has let go as much as he can, really. He didn't say a word against Arthur marrying Gwen, did he? No, he let it happen. I think he's entitled to step out and have a good cry over it in private, isn't he?

Great job! Thanks for sharing! :)

Yes, that's what I was thinking--I feel like in my headcanon he was really heartbroken but had no choice but to keep on keepin' on. XD Thanks for reading!
