Oh my God, these are GLORIOUS!!! I've always loved the way you draw their faces, but it's the first time I've seen you do Gwaine, and he's FANTASTIC!
I LOVE EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING IS MERLIN AND NOTHING HURTS!
The expressions on their faces in the cover are perfect, and I love how you've placed Merlin sitting on the arm of the couch, and his bony knees. THE KISS is awesome, and the faint glow from Merlin's hand (which is lovely) is a great touch, and then magic reveal at the end!!!

Wowzers, i can't wait to read this <33333333333

eeeee thank you bb :) ooh I had way too much fun with Gwaine. That HAIR. And that NOSE! Is it just me or does every man on Merlin have a very distinctive and gorgeous nose? I just love all their noses. A lot. :3

Thank you, thank you for your lovely comment!! The links to the story are in there now. Read away!! :D

CHEL. SEA.
I kind of maybe gasped and went WOW when I saw the first one and saw that you had drawn Elena and Gwaine. Like, I didn't even read the description and I knew it was them and GOD YOU ARE AMAZING.

Also I love all the different ways that Merlin's hand glows. And Arthur's expression in the first one. And unnnnnnnnf the second one.

Okay.

Oh god.

You're fantastic.

[achelseabee]

ooh I like that a get a two-word name for that XD
I'm really glad it's obvious who they were; I wasn't sure I got Elena's look down, but it was my first time drawing her and Gwaine so *le shrug* what can ya do? :B
