I see you've fully joined the dark side XD

Lovely story, and lovely characterization -- especially Arthur -- was laughing when I reached the end and Arthur admits that he's so used to Merlin's insolence that a servant who does as he's told actually annoys him XD

[lamardeuse]

It is FUN on the dark side. Thanks so much for your kind words. :)

Poor Arthur, he's just not that good at being common! Of course Merlin's not that good at being a manservant, so there. :D

[lamardeuse]

Hee! Exactly. Thanks! :)

Funny! And I'm stunned by Arthur's stupidity and not guessing how his behavior towards the end there might be misconstrued. Honestly, buying Merlin a wardrobe? After shagging him and apparently replacing him with other servants? He's really not good with people, is he?

*shakes head*

Merlin has his work cut out for him.

Heh. I kind of think that Arthur was trying to take the piss a little there at the end with Merlin. Or perhaps he is that clueless. Glad you found it funny! Thanks. :)

That was awesome! So glad you're writing in this fandom now, we need great fic like this :D

My favorite part was probably when Merlin just faceplants into Arthur's crotch- it's just so them, in a weird way I can't explain :P

Thank you very much! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it - I'm always nervous my first story in a new fandom. :)
