*sighs happily* This is the kind of writing I've missed. I've always said you have a poetic & gorgeous way of writing. You absolutely didn't disappoint here. You put so much LIFE into everything. ♥

Arthur definitely seems like a mess of contradictions. He has to be so much for so many, but for Merlin... it's nice that, with Merlin, he can have moments of such simplicity. Love how Arthur's complexity is laid bare for us through Merlin's eyes. ♥♥

Since I've vowed to keep my psycho flailing under control, I'll stop here. Just... *points to your fic* ...awesome. And now I'll go. :)

Oh, you. ♥ I'm really glad I didn't disappoint you! I know you were waiting on this fic, so yes. Thank you so much, honeybee! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

So lovely and sweet, but still with that thread of desperation and sadness underneath it. Beautiful.

[thevinegarworks]

Thanks so much! That's a great compliment. ♥

[thevinegarworks]

Oh thank you! I love how you put that: the differences between Arthur and King Arthur. Poor bb is so very conflicted sometimes.

Thank you for reading! ♥

[thevinegarworks]

[thevinegarworks]

Yes, this is indeed my first foray into the fandom. I promise there will be more! :)

[thevinegarworks]

Oh goodness, you are far too kind! ♥ I'm very glad you enjoyed the fic! Your compliments are very appreciated and very, very sweet.

Indeed, I'll be writing much more in the fandom, as it's quite thoroughly consumed me since I discovered it. :)

Thanks again for reading, hon! ♥
