This was very sweetly written. Nice handling of the subject matter. I liked how Arthur took it slowly with Merlin. My heart breaks for Merlin...I liked the happy ending. Everything came together nicely. :)

That is the most beautiful thing I've read in ages. So emotionally powerful. I'm speachless

[adeina_rhyddha]

Oh, gosh. Thank you. Really, I'm flattered.
I am so glad that you enjoyed it so much. Speechlessness is the biggest compliment you can give.

This really is quite lovely - the slowness is really what gets to me, so sweet and touching, and it feels so real, especially I think because of the detail you go into with them "appraising" each other as their clothes come off piece by piece...the way each of them has to reassure the other at certain times, in certain ways... the kind of story that wraps itself around your heartstrings and clings there, if that makes sense. :] <3

Thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I actually have this problem where I don't tend to think about things too deeply before I write them. This was one of those fics, and when I read it over when I'd finished I realised my subconcious had played a huge role in making it what it was, because I had just let my fingers move and not exactly thought. I don't know if that makes any sense, but I hope that it does.
It does make sense - I just never thought anyone would say it about something I had written, so thank you for that.

This was incredibly moving and oh so beautiful. I love the style it's written in too. ♥♥♥

Aw, thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed it.
The style is esentially a dramatic monologue. Admitedly, this is a slightly more stuctured one that I've written before, but it basically follows a character's thought processes - it is a stream of conciousness. It's an interesting way to write because it means you can get more into the character, into their head. Uhm...yeah, thought I'd just explain that one.
