Haha, sorry, but the mental image of you rolling around in circles cracked me up so much. Thank you for that! ;)

And of course, thank you for your feedback! :) I'm very glad that I can put you in your happy place -- we might be sharing it, because I love speculative 3.12 fic atm too! <3 Have you found any other but mine?

Very exciting. I love the desperation of it and how Merlin was trying to protect them all. Loved that he chose now to reveal his magic. Loved the last line.

Thank you! :) I want the reveal to happen so bad in 3.13 ... I realise it is highly unlikely that it will, because bla bla bla it's so essential to the show bla bla but STILL -- there's always hope!

*squee* have to go to uni now but will rush home and read it after! had to comment to note how much i just smiled when i saw this on my flist :)

Oh I loved it! This really does feel like a continuation of the episode as well. The banter between Merlin and Arthur was perfect, always going on at each other even when they're about to be killed!

I loved how Arthur immediately threw the 'weak' (Gaius and Merlin) behind him when the riders surrounded them. He never needs to think about his duty, just places his life on the line and you really showed that here.

Great stuff as usual, keep it up :D

Thank you so much! :D Your feedback always puts a silly grin on my face (my boss has been asking what the hell is going, lol!). SO relieved you liked their banter. You have no bloody idea how long it took me just to write that piece of dialogue. I think those three or four lines took longer than the entire part.

That's exactly what I was going for! Arthur wouldn't leave a servant and an old man unprotected, even if he knew that they couldn't win.

I'm trying! Next part is going to go up in a couple of hours :D

ACK, MERLIN!! *bites fingernails* You've got me on the edge of my seat, here! *loves it*

Wohoo, thanks! :D I love to put people on the edges of their seats! (Try to become really good at cliffhangers ;))

Your icon is GORGEOUS, btw! Is it shareable? Is there a story behind the words?

[fresica]

Thank you so much! The icon is completely shareable (in fact, most of my icons are, here). The words are from the Timbaland song Apologize, which I love.

Oh, you made it yourself! Well, congratulations, it's brilliant! :D I thought I'd recognised the words from that song, I adore it as well. Somehow, the combination of that picture and those lyrics are very inspiring, but I fear that if I turned it into a fic it would be dark and agsty -- and this fic already is dark and angsty enough to last me for a while, lol!
