This was awesome to do and to write. Your art always inspires. I loved your ideas and they were easy to incorporate -- storyboarding? I'm on board.

The storyboarding DID help, especially from Merlin's POV; Arthur sussed out what happened from the fine details...

You forgot to mention the bit where you told me about the square dancing out West in that era... I would never have known about that detail if you hadn't found it!

Oh yeah! I forgot all about that! The historical fact that the low men to woman ratio led to men dancing with men! Ha ha, THANK YOU WIKIPEDIA!

You done good, LM! Thanks for picking my prompt!!! ***HUGS***

Fab art and fab fic--it's like Christmas. Love that image of the burning eyes over the red handkerchief. And the storyboards scratched the itch of not quite knowing how the attack on Merlin's home went, which is very satisfying. Awesome!

YAY you posted!! I loved this art from the get-go. Loved this idea! The visual of Merlin's gold eyes above, looming over them both, it's so eerie cool, I love it. Love the all-business looks on their faces, the awesome gloves and fantastic pistols.

The storyboards are fantastic- thanks for including those! I love seeing the process, the thoughts behind how things like this evolve. It's great to see your mind in action!

This is such cool art, I can't wait to read the story!

'Grats, dude, what a collab! <333
