I am enjoying this so much! The tiny detail of "Mersey Sound" made me happy.

Thank you. Believe me, there's plenty more where that came from, so stay tuned.

I intended to get to the tab I had part one up in earlier. First, Jesus Christ this hits so many of my (writing/reading) kinks I am about two seconds away from exploding. I love the way you've started this, the way you've set up their characters. I deeply love the details like Morgana having a Jackie Kennedy bob (which OMG SHE WOULD LOOK AMAZING LIKE THAT), and the beautifully subtle nod to the Beatles (which may or may not have had me squealing uncontrollably like an idiot when I saw 'Mersey sound'. Then again, so did your mood theme, so you know, whatever.) and the detail about how few women worked there. I love the song excerpts so so much. The Bond novels, Merlin being a double agent, and just everything. I am about as far from coherent right now as I can possibly be, but this is something I am enjoying a great deal maybe a little too much and eagerly look forward to seeing more of!

Thank you, thank you! This comment has made me very happy indeed. I am also a total geek about that sort of stuff which is, unsurprisingly, why they all made their way into this. And there are more Beatles references to come, believe me, this started as an excuse to have Merlin and Arthur running around London in the '60s and then it kind of got away from me, but I love those bits. I hope you continue to enjoy it!

this started as an excuse to have Merlin and Arthur running around London in the '60s and then it kind of got away from me I have a fic that I have been working on since October that is similar in that regard. That one started as a 'Merlin and Arthur do the Stonewall riots' fic and now spans about three decades (starting in the 1950's).

I am also a total geek about that sort of stuff Oh dear god so am I.

Basically this whole thing is blowing my mind in a major way. Like, I can't even begin to describe. I am bouncing in my seat over the sheer epicness that is this fic!

Also, I simply adore your icon.

Oh man, that's sounds amazing. No lie, I've been wanting to have someone to write about the post-war gay underground for awhile. I would have written it myself only I don't know enough about that to do it justice, but this excites me.

Thank youuuu!

*claps* I'm so happy that you've updated! As well as the expectation to update frequently is making me happy as well. Enjoying this greatly :D

[burningqueen]

Thank you! And you're welcome.

Once again, I must say that you really know what you are doing when it comes to this story writing. All this history intertwined with the story is just making the history person in me go :D :D :D :D :D - especially the Kennedy part. Which you know ;D

Keep up the good work, love. We're all enjoying this wonderful story! <3
