Holy wow! This was brilliant! I love how complex Merlin and Arthur both are! Arthur is so much to so many, and yet he is a bit flummoxed by Merlin's unshakable faith in him. Merlin never wavers in his belief, and is perfectly willinig to bolster Arthur on the occasions that he flags a bit.

Excellent fic!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I appreciate it and I'm very happy you enjoyed the fic. ♥

Simply outstanding.
Your fic is everything I wish for when I read something new.
Brilliant writing, lots of emotions, uniqueness and a deep understanding for the characters. I have to admit that I fell a bit in love with your style and your word choices. Everything is so well put together and elaborated, but at the same time doesn't seem forced. The attention to detail you put into this piece of writing is quite impressive and how you portray Arthur as such a complex human being is just wonderful. I rarely come across fics that deal with Arthur so in-depth. You captured the Merlin/Arthur relationship and Merlin's devotion quite perfectly and hence I'm really looking forward to read more of you in this fandom in the near future. :)

Here on planejane's rec. This is so quietly beautiful. I'd quote some of my favourite lines, but then I'd just be cutting and pasting the majority of the fic. I hope to see more of your writing in future <3

I'll be writing much more, indeed! Thanks again for reading! ♥
