LMAO! Also: <333! This is such a fun, interesting universe you've built--I really love how you've shown Merlin grow into a part of the household, and I especially loved how you strengthened his friendship with (and attraction to Arthur).

I laughed so hard during the Batmobile-adoration scene and the WTF-Robin scene, so friggin funny! And you've got their character voices and personalities spot-on. Also, I perhaps shouldn't admit this but I thought Arthur's sadistic training regimen was sort of hot (it's not my fault! What am I to think with lines like "thrown over Arthur's shoulder into mats that didn't feel much softer than the floor"? Plus all that fabulous banter! Also, Merlin's determination to keep training was just adorable, and I sort of love you forever for the ninja turtles conversation).

Good job, I look forward to the next installment! <333

Oh, god that was fabulous! I was grinning all the way through. And I was worried about "Robin" but you solved that brilliantly. From Robin, the bird to Merlin, the falcon. I'd never have seen that connection.

I have to admit I was rather looking forward to seeing Merlin in red and green spandex, but the Falcon idea is actually much better. The idea of Merlin and the Batmobile alone together had me in giggles. Love Arthur's pout btw.

OMG! That was just so wonderful :) I can't wait for the next part...

I can't remember if I left you feedback on the last one, because I read it just before taking off to the airport to a week without interwebs.
Anyway, I'm doing it now:

I LOVED THIS SUCH A LOT! ♥
Their stupid banter and the scene with the Batmobile (Arthur's so jealous of his car) and the Robin scene!
This is just like the 60s series, which I adore. Can't wait for more!

Also, was that training session supposed to be so hot or was that just my overactive imagination making it so?

Oh yes, GO TEAM GENEROSITY! :D

[stripedpetunia]

I love that you're getting such 60s vibes off it, since that wasn't intentional. It's the abject silliness, isn't it? I need more angst. XD

>Also, was that training session supposed to be so hot or was that just my overactive imagination making it so?

It was both, obviously.

GO TEAM GENEROSITY. Hurray for having till the 2nd to write something!

[luisadeza]

It probably is. I fully expect things like POW! and ZZZZZWAP! in the next fighting scene now.
Or not. XD
I'm always torn - I love the BatAngst, but I also like silly, colourful Batman with painted-on eyebrows.

OH YES! I'm at rule 5 now, still 5 to go.
