And Remember What Came Before 1/3 (Arthur/Merlin preslash) SPOILERS 407

[anonymous]

Arthur kept his eyes on the stone hallway in front of him as he walked, his mind swirling with questions. His conversation with Gaius had left him feeling off-kilter, the sense that there was an entire world of secrets operating beyond his awareness throwing him for a loop. The way Gaius had spoken of a network, of a host of people - people he knew, even - who fought for him without his knowledge, who used whatever means were at their disposal. It was a lot to wrap his head around, but he found it less frightening than he might have imagined

I love that Arthur is so in tune with Merlin and his moods and how Merlin pushes Arthur to be a better man. When Arthur asks Merlin's feelings about magic, you created wonderful tension and longing in Merlin. When the truth comes out about Merlin's magic, Arthur is sure to remember that moment and the desperate earnest expression on Merlin's face. It's fantastic.

Thank you very much for the comment! I'm glad you liked the bits with Arthur reading Merlin's moods and the effect Merlin has on Arthur's actions. After so many years together, they do seem to be pretty in-sync with eachother. I'd like to think that this is a moment that would come back to Arthur when the reveal eventually takes place.

Thanks for reading!

This is fantastic. Love the bit where Arthur doesn't want to break the charged, intimate atmospehere, ("the spell that had fallen over the room"). I get the sense that Arthur knows, but won't force Merlin to come out and say he has magic, because then Arthur would have to actually deal with the fall-out, because it's against the law, and then Arthur would have to change that, and maybe he's not ready to take that step yet, and it's all a can of worms!

Thank you very much! I think you're right on the money with regards to Arthur - he suspects a lot about Merlin, but he's not sure if he's ready to deal with it, and especially not sure if he's ready for things to change between them. He's had a lot of shocks to his system in terms of who and what he can trust, and I don't think he's confident he can take another just yet, especially from Merlin.

But I think this story would have a happy ending in time :) Thanks for reading!
