fic: When i find you (i'll find me), pg-13, merlin

[hope27]

I wrote this after the events of 4x11.  I know many were hoping for a different outcome, and although I can see the progress in Gwen and Arthur's story that doesn't mean I wouldn't had liked for them to actually see each other again in this episode.

Written for janettecassar.

That was terrific. Exciting and suspenseful. Romantic and heartbreaking.

I liked it. Will you continue it from here or was this an one-shot?

[hope27]

Thank you!

I'm debating whether or not to continue it. At first, I thought I might, but then I thought maybe I should just leave it.

My one point for continuing it would be to show that it's not just going to be easy for them. They still have a conversation or two to have...but they love each other and they will work through it. Of course, they have to deal with it while Morgana is trying to take on Camelot.

Haha...you didn't know you'd be getting a book in response as I talk out my thinking process.

Anyway, thanks again! I'm so glad you enjoyed reading it. :)

No, I appreciate the response.

The story has great potential either as a one-shot or multi-chapter fic. I like how the underlying theme of the story mirrored what I felt underscored the episode. Gwen & Arthur love each other. It didn't go away because life inevitably moved on. They never forgot, but in Arthur's case, it was easier to bury it so it wasn't an open wound.

Well done.

OMG - I hope this isn't a one shot?! This is so good, please write more!

[hope27]

I'm still debating on whether to write more or not. At the moment, I just might. But your enthusiasm for more is definitely making me want to.

Thank you so much! :)

Totally wished this had happened!

[hope27]

Thanks! I do too.

As much as I am okay with the progress we got in Arthur realizing he will always love Gwen and Gwen risking everything to warn Arthur...I still would have loved a little...more.

Anyway, thanks again! And, I love your icon. I makes me happy...such a beautiful moment between them. :)

I agree

I liked the part where Arthur realized he still loved Gwen. I too wish there had been a reunion scene but I kind of like that the writers are not rushing the reunion. Arthur needs to know that Gwen did not betray him. He needs to hear it first before he sees her. That being said, I like this story too. I think that the writer kept true to the essential characters of Gwen and Arthur.

That was quite lovely :-D

[hope27]

Thank you! So glad you liked it! :)

That was so lovely. Your wording is so carefully placed, so intricately woven. I have so many favorite lines because of how you placed them. All the emotions were so strong and that ending, it makes you want more, but it's also such a beautiful hopeful ending. Loved this. Thanks for sharing.

[hope27]

Oh, wow! You are so kind! Thank you so very much! You're comment just made me smile so much. :D

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback and taking the time to read the story. I'm glad the strong emotions came through. I wanted to show how upset Arthur would be to know the Guinevere was not safe and the realization that he sent her into a very dangerous world. She is a strong woman, but the dangers outside of Camelot and her station would not be good for her.

I am truly torn between writing more or just leaving it as it is. In a way, I want to write their confrontation after this...because they have so much to discuss. But, as you said, I like it how it is as well.

Anyway, thanks so much! Sorry for the ridiculously long response! :)
