The implication is that Merlin died and Gwen brought Arthur back and forced him to suck it up and continue on. I want to know more. How did this happen? What I got was the Uther found out and executed him, but...

This last little snippet is sort of AU. Because obviously, the whole Merlin thing screws up the Arthurian legends already and I still incorporated part of the legends ( ... )

Oh and lastly, the lines of "He wouldn't have..."....they're meant to be non-linear...I don't know if that shows up right, but...yeah... :)

It makes sense. Thank you for the explanation.

Aw man... I was smirking and giggling all the way through and then you go and stab me in the heart at the end. *SOB WAIL CRY*

Beautiful!

*blows nose*

Thank you! Baah I totally realized I have not replied yet to a good bunch in here....>.< It's been a month. Oh well.

Thanks for reading! Don't worry, Merlin and Arthur are surely out there somewhere now....

oh. my. god. so, i cried. just a bit. it took me by surprise and now i am sniffling and getting odd looks from my housemates. the ending!!!! ah! so good!

Hey sorry I took forever to reply. Aw...I'm glad you like it! And don't worry, I know the feeling of getting odd looks. Especially when you're sitting in a quiet classroom 'working' and all of a sudden you start giggling like crazy.

Thank you for reading!

no worries! by the by, i still cannot get over this line:

'but without Merlin, he would never have become Arthur.'

makes me tear up every time.

kolachess March 5 2010, 04:28:25 UTC

I depress myself with that line too...sniff. At first it sounded kind of corny, but I let it be. Simply because it's true. Arthur would have lived prattily ever after if it wasn't for Merlin!

okay you wrote it as a crack fic, but right at the end it shot me right in the heart! i loved it <3

kolachess March 4 2010, 03:19:49 UTC

Thank you! And sorry for replying late. I think I shot myself with that ending too. But you know that those two are probably having a blast somewhere in the world right now. XD

Long review..... jslvr4vr January 18 2010, 04:31:27 UTC

I love this. So saving it in my memories and bookmarks. I love Arthur's reasons of why Gwen is so important to him as a king. I love how u used all the characters in the reasons. I especially love how even though Gwen is Arthur's wife, she knows Merlin holds his heart. She helps keep him together through everything and I love that ( ... )

Re: Long review..... kolachess January 18 2010, 04:34:11 UTC

Thank you! I really appreciate your comments! Yes, I too did not like Gwen's role in the whole thing - legends and show. And I particularly disliked where the second season was going...(more Arthur/Gwen subtext...text...)

I don't dislike Gwen, I just don't like her role.

So I felt the need to justify her relationship with Arthur. They are friends. And yes, Merlin does hold Arthur's heart. ^-^

Re: Long review..... jslvr4vr January 18 2010, 04:48:44 UTC

I dislike her because she can't make up her mind betwenn Lancelot and Arthur. She dangles both of them and is basically a slut in the legends. The show is getting there but they still have Arthur/Merlin so I'm good.

Before anyone asks, I just have to say Merlin is a bottem, not a top. Unless he's riding Arthur. Sorry but I can't see Merlin as a top even if he isn't a virgin to either sex. He's to much of a submissive even with some Dom qualities. Again I'm sorry but I had to say this so no one wonders why I don't seem to change the order.
( That was so off subject. Oops.)

Re: Long review..... kolachess January 18 2010, 04:59:45 UTC

Lolz yeah. I was so excited when the episode Lancelot and Guinevere came out...because I thought we were going to have them be together once and for all...but it was disappointing.

I do think Gwen truly like Lancelot. And I would completely be fine with that.

And yes...XD Merlin is bottom. I can't see him as top either. It just wouldn't make sense at all...>.
