Very interesting, love the way you write, sucked me right into the story.

Thank you, I was trying to put this in for the fanfic challenge, but I stuffed up and left everything too late. Will try and write a bit more to finish the story, then will try to post again! But thanks for commenting!

Wonderful story, I hope that pendant doesn't get Merlin in to too much trouble. heh heh.

Thanks for reading, I think I might have to write part two to explore what happens next.

[owensheart]

Yes you defo should write more:)

I really hadn't considered the pitfalls of Merlin trying to serve Arthur while he and Gwen are in their honeymoon stage. He's having to navigate new, embarrassing waters and that pendant just made things worse.

Now that Gwen has handed it over and Merlin is wearing it about I'm left wondering what its effects could be on Merlin. Was it why Merlin felt compelled to threaten Arthur with a spanking for acting like a naughty toddler? I'm looking forward to finding out.

Well, the pendant definately has an effect on whoever wears it. But maybe in Merlin's case, the change isn't all for the worse!

I liked how you explored the pitfalls of serving Arthur with Gwen possibly still in the room. Great job.

[eiralys76]

Thanks so much. This is the first Canon era story I've ever tried, and I can't just ignore Gwen and Arthur, and pretend their marriage at the end of Season 4 didn't happen. So this is me exploring the dynamic between Arthur and Merlin in this context. I plan to finish this story, just currently working on another one!

Oh, I just discovered this today and I love it! I hope you'll continue it some day because I'm really curious to know what power the jewelry has.

Thank you. I think I'll have to watch about a dozen feel good Merlin episodes from my DVDs to get in the mood to write the rest of this one. I did enjoy the feel of writing this one, and it's very nice to get a positive comment about it!
