I freaking love this story. I knew there had to be a twist at some point, because no way was this a fic about Merlin and Arthur in which Merlin did not make an appearance until more than 2/3 of the way through, but I was completely delighted by the way that that twist took place. And I LOVE Merlin being like, no no, one night stand is not okay. But in love forever and ever? That's cool.
Oh wow, I love this. Gwen and Arthur, Arthur's loneliness, Merlin meeting the challenges practically rather than magically. Their reunion scene--Merlin begging Arthur to let him go--guh. And oh Merlin, back to being a scamp at the end. :D
OMG! HOW MUCH DO I LOVE YOU???????!!!!! OMG SO MUCH!!!!!
This story is FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC! I loved the clever take on Guenevere/Lancelot and the deeply caring relationship between Arthur and Gwen. Both Arthur's and Myrddin's reactions to the golem spell *killed* me! (Myrddin's especially had me covering my mouth with my hand because I wasn't sure what to expect from him.)
Oh, honey! And, seriously, I love the storytelling-type narrative framework: part historical account, part storybook, and all very fitting for this Arthurian legend dabbling.

But not yet.
Not yet. And that's actually enough for me. This was brilliant.
