Read.

Oh my poor heart.

Absolutly beautiful, as ever!

Almost a sad ending but not quite...

Wondeful!

[emei]

Thank you! I'm so happy you liked it.

[phantomreviewer]

I love it. This fic is one that I'll be coming back to over and over again!

[emei]

That makes the author very, very happy!

Oh my god, this story is going into my memories. If there were some way to keep it at the top of that list, I would. It's beautiful and touching and so real. I loved every single second that I was reading it.

Best parts, by far: (by which I mean the parts that brought tears to my eyes, then made me actually cry them.)
For loving and being loved, never in such big words but none the less completely, and then getting himself killed. Arthur burns with anger at what Merlin has been left with - the hard knowledge of how Will bled to death on a dirty pavement a cold February evening. The absolute loneliness of it. For both of them.

Love grows, changes. Keep breathing and a thousand paths lie open.

This was easily one of the best Merlin AUs I've read. Despite the length, it gives such an impression of depth and history that it could qualify as epic. It's absolutely gorgeous, seriously.

I, oh, I'm so very pleased that this managed to touch you. Especially that the part with Arthur thinking about Will did. And smiling madly at the "epic". Thank you so much!

Aww, beautiful ending and marvelous fanfic ! I like that Merlin needs time to understand that he finally needs to tell the world about Will. And I also loved the way Arthur just waits for him to talk about what's upsetting him so much, he knows how to deal with Merlin, not to make him feel oppressed. Lovely.
I hope to read more from you soon, because your style is gorgeous !

[emei]

Thank you! Glad you like the dynamic between them. :)
And Merlin has gotten its claws deep into my brain, so I will definitely write more in this fandom. It's just irresistible...

[sweetestel]

Glad to hear that ! :D

It's beautiful, but also very sad. *huggles Merlin*

[emei]

Merlin needs a lot of hugs. But he has Arthur now, and Arthur will huggle him lots. All better! ;) Thank you for reading and commenting!

[emei]

Yes, this is the end. Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment!
