More breakfast reading! Now you're just doing this on purpose :D :D

I like to think of it as the "angsty reincarnation futurefic" version. Mmm, so much promise in such a tiny piece.

[lilian_cho]

Hee, great that it meshes so well with your breakfast reading schedule =DD

Mmm, so much promise in such a tiny piece.

Like sinful chocolate cake! >=D

I prefer option b too. Someone needs to write this because I'm not sure I can write angst without destroying my own soul. Or something.

ETA: Whoops. Didn't realize I accidentally screened this reply.

I was going to throw a tantrum and demand a post about something else than Merlin, but somehow, this little piece of writing has distracted me. I'd really like to see more of it now.

[lilian_cho]

Hee. Will post HP links later today, promise ^^;;

Hopefully someone else will write it, because I'm not sure if I can write angst without destroying my own soul.

I do admit I'm intrigued by option b...
*is a sucker for angsty reincarnation stories*

[benebu]

I'm glad to hear^^

I think I needn't ask you to point me in the direction of the fic in case anyone ends up writing it - I'll just have to follow the squeeage. (My vote goes to option b too. Not that it matters much.)

[lilian_cho]

I'll just have to follow the squeeage.

*g* Too true.

So far everyone seems to prefer option b.

[archaeologist_d]

I'm going for angsty reincarnation futurefic! I'll be glad to read it.

I liked the pickup lines and how they weren't really pickup lines. Well done.

[lilian_cho]

Thank you! =D

Merlin had forgotten so much about Arthur, those "pickup" lines didn't jog his memory =(

*cries quietly in the corner*

...you see why I question my ability to write angst?

[fairyglass]

One, my ears are not handles.

This had me in giggles. x3

[lilian_cho]

Merlin was starting to think that all the guys he hook up with secretly have an ear fetish...

Hee, thanks. Glad to amuse =D

[ruien]

ROFL

but how/why would merlin still be merlin if it's a reincarnation?
You have to rename him Marlin. *g*

[lilian_cho]

*preens*

Well I was going with "Arthur is reincarnated over and over while Merlin, forever young, just lives on and on (thus the decay of memory)"

If I rename him I'd call him Hawkeye >=D

[ruien]

i imagine the following exchange on the exchange of names...

"You're serious, it really is 'Marlin'?"
"*sigh* Yes, BRYAN."
"Sounds a bit fishy to me."
"Oh, ha ha ha. Coming from a bloke named after a Canadian singer?"

[lilian_cho]

LOL! X-D
And it's only a letter away from Marilyn.

But I suppose Marlin is still better than Mervin or Melvin...No wait, Mervin is better than Marlin, and Marlin is better than Melvin.

Bryan Adams is Canadian?
