I'm no math person, but I love this so much. I love how Merlin did it rather accidentally and randomly, and how Arthur's ego would be a listed author, and and and so many good lines! My only problem is that there isn't enough. ;D If you are so inclined, I'd love to read more in this 'verse. ♥

Neither am I. The fact that it seems remotely math-y is thanks to renrenren3. The rest of the math!fail is all ME. I intended for Merlin to actually know what he was doing, and Arthur to be too engrossed in the details of his project to notice the simpler answer. I know I've definitely been stuck on a problem that I was convinced was some big nasty thing only to realize the solution was something incredibly simple and obvious when I stepped back and looked at it as a whole or in a different light, which is where Merlin steps in. Thank you so much! I had fun and learned stuff while writing this, but I don't really think I could do this 'verse justice. Again, thank you for reading and commenting!

This is even more charming that the first go 'round. They will be legendary!

Thanks for reading and commenting on both! :D

Is that Stephen Colbert in your icon?

:D :D :D

sorry, Arthur, but Emrys-Pendragon does roll off the tongue!

(I was the nerdy OP who prompted this btw)

STILL LOVE IT LOADS ♥

Thank you for such a fun prompt! :D (I ♥ your username, by the way) I started off just commenting that I love the nerdiness and can see it going down a bit like this, and by the time I had half the dialogue written, I figured I might as well fill the prompt. ^^;; I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
