Hi Fic Writers...um...Thanks!
I've not had a very good Bank Holiday Weekend. I spent one day crying my little eyes out. You know when you cry so much that you think you can't possibly cry anymore, and then you start again? Yeah I had a day like that. Nothing awful happened or anything, like illness or death, I was just being a silly little sausage about something

Summary: When Arthur agrees to meet Gwen's new boyfriend Lance and his group of friends he never expected it to include Merlin. It's been nine years since they broke up, but the memories are still raw. Pretending that they don't know each other seems like the best idea, until it's not.

When Morning Comes by starlingthefool

Summary: If life were fair, anyone who managed to survive the apocalypse would be given a fuzzy blanket, some tea, and a nice bed to hide under and weep. Life is not fair, obviously, and there's no actual end to the end of the world. Instead, there's grief and pain and mud and death, there are minor miracles, and there's the love that gets you out of bed in the morning, despite everything. Life goes on.

And thanks, feeling a little better at the moment. Trying to put a positive spin on everything. Sitting back with a good read, some camomille tea and a couple of biscuits always helps too though!

Thank you for your thoughtful review on my fic. It made my day and I really appreciate it. :)
I'm reading a Paperlegends fic now that is well-written, and a page-turner, I suppose, but it's not a happy, light fic. I don't know if it'll have a happy ending or not, but it's not much of a "cheering up" fic despite how well written it is. But it looks like you've gotten quite a lot of recs from xthursdaynextx already. Those should last you a while. ;)

I'm glad you liked the review! I was worried that it seemed a bit long winded. I start off only meaning to write something like 'Awesome fic', but then I get carried away.
Yeah the recs from xthursdaynextx should last me a while, but if you come across anything good feel free to add it to the list! I'll hopefully get through them all eventually.

Considering I get long-winded myself more often than not, I didn't mind at all. I liked reading the review, and I appreciate you taking the time to write it.
I hope you enjoy reading them. There's an e-book I enjoyed that deals with a twist on Arthurian legend. I'm not big on Arthur/Lancelot, but this story sold me on the ship. Although the story is not for Guinevere fans at all. ;) It's Lancelot and the Wolf by Sarah Luddington. You can get it for free on Kindle...there are sequels but you have to pay for them. Haven't read the sequels yet but I so want to...the price isn't too bad. You can get the paperback version if you want since I can't remember if you have a Kindle or not. I think you can purchase the free digital version without having an e-reader, and you can just read it online. :)

I don't have a Kindle, but I'm starting to really want one. It's strange, because I'm quite old fashioned and I like having an actual bit of paper or book to read off of, but I've been seriously considering buying one as a birthday/christmas present to myself. It would be especially good for reading stuff that's not in print, from internet etc. My phone is too small and my computer too large, so I need something in between.
