Oh, thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed both the sweetness and the sadness, since I really wanted to do both at once somehow. Thanks for the lovely feedback. :-)

This is amazing! I loved how you ended it! I wanted to cry for Merlin because of his stupid abandonment issues. Really a great story, lovely :)

[corilannam]

Hee, thank you! Poor Merlin, his issues are as irrational as anyone else's, I guess. So glad you enjoyed it! :-D

That was unspeakably lovely!

My favorite parts were Merlin's childhood moments with his mom and the beef stew, and that child logic that is just soo honest. <3

I don't want to be creepy, but I remember your name from years of lurking in the MA archive. Just want to say that your TPM fics are some of my faves! <3

[corilannam]

Oh yay, I'm so happy you liked wee Merlin! Those were definitely the most fun parts to write. :-D

And thanks for remembering me from all the way back in TPM! That's not creepy, just really flattering. TPM is still probably my favorite fandom experience ever.

Thanks for the lovely comment! :-D
