Cute! :D

Thanks!

Oh this was so cute. Boys!

(Emrys-Pendragon does roll off the tongue easier)

[gallifreycalls]

Thanks! The boys are adorable when they bicker. :)

Oooh! I love this! This fic had me smiling like a loony in my room. And Merlin is right. "The Emrys-Pendragon equation" sounds way better than "The Pendragon-Emrys equation"

Would this by any chance be inspired by a show named "The Big Bang Theory" and more specifically a certain equation on a certain board of a certain physicist who happens to be name Sheldon? ;)

Thank you! :) I think it works better phonetically somehow. I don't know enough of linguistics to explain that properly. ^^;;

You got me. O:) I wrote in my original post that everything I know about math in academia I base off of the "Big Bang Theory," which is about physicists and engineers (and thus says a lot about how "mathematic" this fic is). Thankfully, renrenren3 knows what she's talking about. I just went with the more ridiculous points (and kindly ignored the fact that equations in math are named in alphabetical order) for the humor. I adore Sheldon by the way. Only he could pull off "bazinga!"

Haha, I know! I absolutely adore the show and it actually has me researching some of the things they mention. When I get their jokes or what they're talking about, it's unbelievable how happy I get! :D

YESSS! Sheldon is the best! I love how he's so smart yet so socially retarded and how he makes everything into an experiment and always wears the awesomest geeky shirts! And his ineptitude to get sarcasm is hilarious! Bazinga, indeed.

It almost makes me wish I understood physics more. Almost, but I can still commiserate. He's an extreme, but he along with Leonard and Raj remind me of a few number of people I know (The first time I showed my sister this show she pointed to Sheldon and said "he's like you, but smart." -_-).
