This is really sweet. I like how Arthur's motivation as an adult was just to get Merlin back to his normal self, to see him laugh, etc. Nice job.

I'm happy that's the part you liked, and that it came across as being the most important motivation for Arthur. Thank you for reading!

That was lovely. Arthur's reaction to Merlin's heartfelt gift was shattering and wholly adolescent. I enjoyed seeing his life 17 years into the future, seemingly perfect until Merlin shows up and Arthur discovers it's not perfect without Merlin's friendship.

I enjoyed 13 year old Arthur pursuing Merlin and coming to grips with feelings he didn't even know he was harboring.

I love the way it turned back to the moment that ruined everything between Arthur and Merlin and Arthur was able to fix the rift before it happened. Nice job.

I am so very glad you liked it! Thank you for your wonderful comment, I am glad the pure adolescence came across in Arthur and they way he responded. It is so nice to hear the parts people liked! Thank you!
