Percy! YAY! ♥ ♥ ♥ (look I learned to do hearts just for Percy!)

And sorry, but the Arthur-and-Merlin show stole the fic a bit there.

Dindrane! Bwahaha!

Don't apologise for that! I was a little worried that Merlin and Arthur didn't appear enough in this one, so it's lovely to hear their little scene was still memorable!!

Percy is hugely flattered at getting hearts :D :D Thank you for commenting!!

How I have missed Percy :) His sister really can be mean :)

This was fantastic, I love the interaction between all the characters especially from Percy's POV. I particularly love seeing M&A interaction through Percy's eyes and this so did not disappoint. I am still smiling at the image of Arthur scrubbing Merlin's face :)

I wish you would write something of a decent length in the same vain that was just M&A daily routine. Like just a weeks worth of activity where nothing untoward necessarily happens just them living their lives. I know you would do a great job with it.

There seems to be so much angst out there at the moment. I love angst don't get me wrong but I would love to see your light gentle touch at work so I can just read some happy M&A for once :)

His sister is rather mischievous :D I'm ashamed to say her and Percy's relationship is a lot like me and my own brother, although I've never been QUITE that bad (give me time...). But Isolda adores him really, their castle really is surrounded by forests in the middle of nowhere so Isolda and Percy only had each other growing up and are very close :) He's why she's such a tomboy, and she's why he has such a healthy respect for the so-called 'delicate sex ( ... )

I should probably write somewhere in the Author Notes that this is NOT series 2 compliant... In my world Morgana wouldn't go anywhere and there would be a lot less poisoning and murders going on. But then maybe it wouldn't be so exciting that way. Regardless, I don't think my fics will ever go down that darker route!

Thank you anyway for your comment! And for remembering Percy :) It turns out I really can't stay away from him, and I've been dying to write more Isolda for ages so I was glad I could give her a bigger role this time round :D She is very devious, but god forbid anyone else should tease her brother too much, she'd probably challenge them!!

And I 'awww'd' at Percy the younger brother, that's such a good description!!! :D

Uh... obviously I have used this research selectively to fit my character (no-one is dying young thank you). Apologies to Arthurian scholars!

You're kidding me, right? I've been hyperventilating with joy over all of the ways you've used the legends, with the jokes about the different versions!

"You told him I was born and raised in a forest!"

I love how you worked in the meta references to other sources. And dealt with alternate versions with having the Bard's song. And then having that bit about a manuscript correction! Palaeography joy! And Geoffrey himself!

Geoffrey looked scandalised, "I record facts! It is not for me to make up new anything."

Geoffrey, oh fabulous librarian-historian-scribe character of my heart! Was that another meta reference to Geoffrey of Monmouth and all his interventions and reinterpretations of the legend?

By the time Geoffrey had checked the Seal of Nobility for damage three timesMy heart goes out to both of them! Poor Percy sneezing from the dusty library materials, and Geoffrey zealously guarding ( ... )

First of all, your siblings comment makes me SO happy, because that is exactly what I wanted to come across. I mean, obviously they are siblings, but I wanted their affection and bickering to come across too, and their comfortableness (er... possibly not a real word!) with each other. Isolda is the one person, even more than Merlin of course, that Percy can be exactly himself with, even down to making faces :D ( ... )
