Yay! Thank you for updating this! I find your story interesting and can't wait to read more. I'm curious as to how Arthur will react when he remembers.

[vail_kagami]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it!

I'll try to update a little sooner next time.

I just read all four chapters and I'm hooked. I love the dark undertones, the hints of what happened before and what will happen soon. I'm almost fearful of how Arthur will react when he remembers, and of what Merlin did to dread it so much.

And it's all woven in so wonderfully with the humor - I died laughing during the entire 'Merlin bought the internet' scene! XD

I can't wait to read more!

I'm glad you're enjoying this! It's a lot of fun to write. So far. You are right to be a little fearful.
Thanks for the comment!

Very interesting, if unsettling story. Though that is the point, and you've done a very good job setting up the mood. I laughed way too loud at the "I also bought the internet" part and Merlin having just enough of an idea to know what computers and the internet did but not knowing what a laptop was or whether or not Arthur had a computer without having to search his pockets.

I kind of want to think Sasher is the dragon and he goes by Sasher because it kind of sounds like Slasher and after all he is the Slash Dragon. Anyway, I really enjoyed it, and even though this is my first time reading it, I'm glad you continued.

(I am going to very deliberately not mention your theory in this reply. :P)

Merlin and the internet fail was a spontanous scene not originally planned - but it works so well! I like it myself, which is rare.
Their banter is just fun to write!

Thanks for reading!

[norwegianblue47]

Eeep, sorry.

I don't think Arthur and Merlin banter is never not fun to write or read or watch. I'm trying to think of a circumstance where that would be the case and it isn't coming.

[vail_kagami]

I firmly believe such a circumstance does not exist.

You're welcome!

Have I professed my undying love to you today? I think it's time. I love you. And, yes, you continue to win hard. :D

I know how much you struggled getting back with this story, but it doesn't show. At all. Now that's impressive!

The banter was spot on, and the humor was there and very realistic. Yet there is something else, a deeper story, something darker, lurking just out of reach. I love that! I have some theories, but right now, I just want to savor this chapter and not over think anything. I also lack the brain power to over think much at the moment. ;)

I loved Merlin buying the internet and his spontaneous trip to Florida!

This chapter left me wanting more and soon. Until then, I'll have to be patient...and harass you because that's the kind of friend I am. ;)

[vail_kagami]

Thank you! You'll need to harass me a lot, but I'm sure you'll manage! :P

I think I can continue this rather soon. I'd forgotten how much fun it was.
