I liked how Arthur woke up to remembering Merlin. I really loved how sad Merlin was waiting for each time. Well done.

Firstly, sorry for the reply!fail; RL has been mental lately! Secondly, though, I'm so glad you enjoyed your present! :D Even though hipbones were not as in evidence as you might have liked. ¬_¬ I'm so glad you liked it, and happy very-belated New Year!

yay! you posted it :D And you`re very welcome for the quick Beta :P It`s an awesome story!

I`m about to be rushed out of the hotel room by my brother who wants to go do stuff. It`s not that I DON`T want to do stuff, it`s that I@m still full and don`t really feel like having another gigantic meal stuffed down my throat. Meals are HUGE here!

xaritomene February 17 2011, 22:27:46 UTC

I did! And thanks again for the beta, sweetie, you're a star. :D
