YOU TOOK MY PIECE OF ABSOLUTE CRACK AND MADE IT A MASTERPIECE.

I - I DON'T KNOW WHAT POSSESSED YOU TO TRY, BUT THIS WAS AMAZING.

I mean, I wrote this because no one had used this trope, and there was a cliche challenge. It was never meant to amount to anything. It was probably the last fic I expected anyone to remix and. And just.

YOU WENT AND MADE IT HAPPEN.

and Ka'tok is such an amazing original character - I love the bit where he goes in and apologises to Arthur and Merlin especially. I love his "For Science!" attitude and his friendship with El'ain. And the remix title is made of win, just like you.

DEAR REMIXER: YOU WOWZER MY TROUSERS.

*draws rainbows around this entry*

An alien's POV in an AMTDI story! =DDD

I so love how Arthur & Merlin's personalities (and their Great Love) come through even from a less-than-bright alien scientist's perspective <3

I love these aliens and their academia:) Fabulous!

This is completely delightful! I really love your alien characters and the little details of their way of doing things and their ethics and their competitiveness and everything, and also, as Lilian said, seeing Arthur and Merlin's personalities come through. I like that this longer version gives more hope for a happy ending for A/M than the original but mostly I love the happy ending for Ka'tok. Yay!

This is a wonderful take on AMTDI, and a delightfully cheeky look at Merlin and Arthur's bizarre relationship.
