FIC: "In the Skin On My Face," Merlin/Arthur, R

[freudian_fuckup]

I can feel it in the rotten air tonight
In the tips of my fingers
In the skin on my face
In the weak last gasp of the evening's dying light
In the way those eyes I've always loved illuminate this place
Like a trashcan fire in a prison cell
Like the searchlights in the parking lots of hell
I will walk down to the end with you
If you will come all

That was beautiful! I love reincarnation stories, and this was a great one.

You really showed their desperation and passion. It was sexy, too. Thanks for sharing it.

Thank you so much!

That was terrific. There was such frantic desperation in Arthur tracking this man down and when they come together it was erotic and real and felt absolutely right. Those last two lines brought the reincarnation home. Nice work.

That was gorgeous! I didn't quite know what was happening to start with and then it just made so much sense, and those last two lines are almost a story in themselves. Thank god he's got Arthur back :)

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! I'm glad it sort of fell together for you, that's exactly what I was going for. Also, I never have the heart to leave poor little Merlin hanging, he's too devoted.

Unf, you are so very much one of my most favourite authors in this fandom, and this was fabulous!

Ahhhh, I am so super flattered, as this fandom is full of absurdly brilliant writers. Thank you so much!
