Are you Julian Jones? Seriously, how do you write their bantering converstaions so in character even when they're touching each other up? Or 'sharing body heat', whatever they say. Anyway, girl, you've got skill.

This story just flows; the change between dialogue to introspection to action never once feels awkward.

“I would never disobey one of your orders,” Merlin mumbled, trying a smile but losing it in a particularly violent shiver.

“Merlin,” Arthur said, his warm breath tickling Merlin’s jaw. “You always disobey my orders. That’s why I’m asking you: please, stay awake.” Hee! XD

My name is very close: Julia. But sadly, no. I don't get paid. ;-)

Thank you so much for the lovely comment!
