Awww! *hugs Arthur*

[jmbalfe]

I know! He's such a woobie in this... But if I can, I'll have some cheering up soon. Thanks for the read and comment!

[jmbalfe]

I should mention, I'm in love with your fic, and follow Silver Scrawls. Totally squee-d when I saw the name I recognise in a comment on my story.
...Wow, I'm like a stalker. But less creepy, I promise!

[mithrel]

*g* That's fine. I'm always glad to hear people like my fic.

awww cheer up emo Arthur let Merlin take all the pain away

[jmbalfe]

I know - although, damn, would that boy look good in emo-inspired guyliner or what?! It's certainly the plan for Merlin to help with the angst, we'll have to see if I can do it.
Thanks, for the read, and commenting ^_^

Oh, Arthur. Nice character study.

[jmbalfe]

Thank you! He's always had a bit of hidden sadness, in my mind - tell me growing up without a mother, as an heir to a kingdom, and under Uther wouldn't mess you up. But, you know, there's hope ^_^

Oh, this is sad. Poor Arthur! At least Merlin understands.

Even if Arthur is as yet unaware that his burden may not always have to be carried alone.

I like this last line - gives some hope at the end in that Arthur isn't alone with the burden.

[jmbalfe]

Thank you! I hesitated about adding the last paragraph, thought it might change the whole fic from character study to future schmoop only, so I'm glad to hear you liked it!

Awww Arthur angst! And lurking Merlin angst surrounding the crown prince! Great fic, thanks for sharing!

[jmbalfe]

It's like twice the angst thrown in at the end, at half the price! But I gotta admit, I love me some good angst if there's scope for comfort fic later. Thanks for the read, and the awesome comment ^_^
