Oh, yaye! I do love this universe. Nothing's ever as straightforward as you might think it could be. Merlin and Arthur keep working bits out together, but that doesn't make it easier, or the world around them any more accommodating.

I hope Gwen and Morgana (when she finds out) come around and don't condemn the boys - after all, they're just trying to find that balance that works for them, and there's so much between them now that they can't 'not'.

Poor sulking Arthur - so glad he's enjoying the mocking. I don't want his happy place to be taken away. He has so little of it, and Merlin's the only real bright thing in his life.

*does little happy dance*

I seriously loved this, especially the conversation between Merlin and Hunith and Merlin and Arthur's ensuing moment. It's kind of weird, though, that Arthur and Morgana wouldn't notice Gwen and Merlin talking.

Yay, I'm so glad we've got a new installment. I was thinkng about this 'verse just yesterday, how freaky is that? It's a wonderful 'verse because of it's lack of simplicity-nothing is every straightfoward for all four of them, but especially Merlin and Arthur because they're boys and stubborn and full of pride but that makes each new installment a pleasure to read because you don't shy away from this.

May I hope we don't have too long a wait for the next one??

I liked the argument between the two and Hunith's advice. Well done.

Aw, poor cranky Arthur. Always nice to see more of this verse. :D
