Oh fucking wow.

Gorgeous, the language is so beautiful. And that you took such a simple idea - Arthur dying - and turned into this jumbled complex story! I love the image of Merlin's tears making the ground muddy. And this line: It was never about possession or protection, not loyalty or mere love, or even destiny; it was just completion. And the end - so sharp and sad and hopeful. This one will stick with me I think.

Also, yay for another person on contrelamontre writing Merlin!

Thank you for your kind comments! I wrote that when I realized that death isn't simple or logical, and it's interesting how much of that got through.

I hope this means I can look forward your Merlin-related responses. :)
