*LOVE*
This was so sweet.

Merlin knows what it means to have a friend pull you through the rough spots. And he's taking his turn being that friend. I really liked that he drew the line at cleaning up the vomit and blood though - good on him for setting boundaries to how much he's willing to give.

I love the realism of this story, from the tear-inducing yoga, to the feelings of despair and hope. Your Uther is terrifying, but entirely redeemable, and that is hopeful too. Such a tender moment, with Merlin's head pillowed on Arthur's knee, and a hand carding through his hair. That really just sums up this friendship, and it was possibly the best moment in the story for me.

Thanks so much for alerting me to the update - it was the perfect soothing end to my hectic lunch hour.

Thanks again :-) I'm glad it's coming across as realistic! Arthur silently comforting Merlin is one of my favorite parts as well!

Oh this is just lovely. Arthur is a mess. Merlin is a recovering mess. And watching their friendship grow and develop...and even find some boundaries...has been a pleasure to read. I'm rooting so hard for them - especially Arthur - to find inner peace and tranquility. Uther was hella scary, but I think he'll come around. Maybe. possibly? Er. :) Arthur really is a mean drunk. LOL. And Merlin = adorably patient.

Aw, this fic is lovely. You have the balance between the two charachters spot on. I particularly loved Merlin standing up to Uther :)

This is just going from strength to strength!

I love Merlin being so capable and sorting Arthur out.

I love Arthur letting him.

And I love your Uther (I love Uther anyway - I think he is misunderstood!)

I just am loving this totally!

[wickedtrickstah]

Merlin taking good care of Arthur is the best isn't it? I also think Uther is a bit misunderstood, yet still scary as hell. I like seeing him show both sides of his persona. Thanks for the lovely note :-)
