Oh, that was lovely. I loved that Merlin was so assertive, loved that it wasn't the drink that Arthur was worried about but the whores. Loved the gentleness of it. Very sweet and warm. Great job. :DDD

Aww, yay!!! I'm so glad you liked it, honey! That's totally what I was shooting for! I'm trying to let my Merlinmuse grow up a bit. I kind of love him naive and nervous, but once in awhile he needs to be assertive, too! ;) ♥

HONEY. THIS WAS A PLEASURE TO BETA. :D You know how I feel about jealous!Arthur and also about this bold, forward Merlin. Bravo on your characterizations AND OF COURSE ON THE SMOKING HOT FROTTAGE! Mm I love sexy boys being sexy. I love first times, and how they open up to each other. lovely, lovely. *draws hearts everywhere*

Thanks again for betaing, my dear! I needed some sweet, happy fic and I was glad to have the chance to write this one. :D ♥

Appropriate icon is appropriate. ^^ I adore this. This bit in particular for some reason - And once again, he surprised Arthur with the quiet grace that suffused his every word, his every breath. And that Merlin watched a little bit of Gwaine going at it with one of the whores. ;) Brilliant.

:) I love that you liked that line - I wanted to spin an entire fic around that line, which almost never happens to me, but there it is. He is so silently humble beneath the banter and grins.

Thank you, honey! ♥
