Hahahaha!
My wish came true. I am such a goof. :)

Oh. Oh. So intense.
I'm poised - no, I'm just aching, for the reveal moment. You've done this so amazingly well.

Thank you! I hope the reveal isn't a letdown.

Nothing you write will be a letdown. Not possible.

O.M.G. I love this. eeee~ Merlin, and Morgana is full of awesome. I hop Arthur doesn't blotch this up.

I'm glad you're enjoying it :) I love Morgana.

oh man, don't just stop it right there! post part seven NOW! I mean, RIGHT NOW! I need it!

I'm loving this, so far. It's hard to have a story where one of them is known for being a bit homophobic (even though it is repeated time and time again that Arthur really isn't that much) and it's great to see their relationship evolve. I wonder how will it even get from this point to something happening between them. I look forward to more!

I know, it is horrible! But I wanted an analogy with magic and I could see Arthur being that kind of dickhead (unfortunately). I love a happy ending so it will be resolved :)

New reader here. This fic is exactly what my life has been missing. A real university fic, where student life is featured more than just a passing mention. I think I'm in love with you. Well, at least your fic.

I love all the characters here. Merlin, a little hurt by his earlier school experiences and struggling with the magic homosexuality reveal. Arthur, who tries his hardest not to be more than meets the eye (and almost made me cry when he DIDN'T share more of his implied boarding school sexual deviances).

This is brilliant and well-written and I can't wait for more!

Yay, I'm so glad you like it! I had a blast writing the Uni backdrop.
