Arthur/Merlin, modern AU, Arthur is in the closet and in denial of his homosexuality until he meets Merlin.

This is so wonderful. You capture their emotions in this terrible situation so beautifully and take the topic very seriously. I cannot wait to see what future they decide together.

This is an amazing story. My emotions are being pull to and fro, so much angst.
Poor Arthur, I'm so happy he was able to reunite with Merlin.
Cannot wait for more!

This story has taken me on such an emotional rollercoaster, anon! Arthur's situation is so heartbreaking, and I'm so, so glad that he's found Merlin again!!

Uther is horrifying. He's controlling every corner of his son's life, and trying to mold Arthur into his own terrible image. Arthur's living a lie and even helping turn opinion against his own sexuality. It's a wonder the boy hasn't gone completely mental.

Finally seeing Merlin was just the boost the isolate boy needed. Merlin still shares his feelings and still wants to pursue a relationship and still wants whatever Arthur can give. Arthur has hope.

Discovering that Morgana is a two faced traitor has me on edge. What the hell is she playing at?

It's always a pleasure to see more of this. It's beautifully written and I want to hug your Arthur and put Uther in jail for mentally abusing his son. It's making for a fantastic read, Anon.

Amazing update, anon. Uther is making me sick to the stomach, but the meeting between Arthur and Merlin was so lovely!

This update came in on my blackberry at an SF convention, and had to stop everything I was doing to sit on a sofa in the hotel lobby and read. I have no words for how relieved I am to have you update, dear author, and move on from that terrifying moment of discovery. I am devastated for Arthur - maybe even more so for Merlin, who is under threat by someone who has no connections to him in any way but through Arthur.

I'm so caught up in this story - it's so emotional and intense. Thank you so much for updating and know that all future updates will be equally appreciated.

Thanks again for your lovely and encouraging comments! xxWith one thing and another, it's not every Wednesday, but they manage it at least every three or four weeks. It's not perfect by any means, but it kind of works, and neither of them are in any doubt about how lucky they are to have this at all ( ... )

'Really, Uther,' says Godwyn, 'I can't see a problem. There was no paternity test, and everyone who can remember, will only recollect how erratic she was. She was so fixated on you that she left her husband before Morgana was born.'

'The woman was a disgrace,' Uther says.

'Maybe so,' says Godwyn, 'but it's all forgotten about now. If Arthur and Morgana were to marry, then it would be a fitting end to the rift between the two families. Igraine was always so close to Mrs Le Fay; if I remember correctly, you were too. '

'It will never happen,' Uther says, his tone final.

'Ah well,' says Godwyn, in his best You can't say I didn't try voice, and the conversation turns back to other things.

Arthur pushes his window shut and throws himself back on his bed, landing with a thump.

It's pretty clear what's just been implied, as is Uther's denial but - and not that he would ever want anything to do with Morgana like that - Uther's reluctance to even consider it seems at odds with his determination to continue the Pendragon line. ( ... )

Uther lets the issue of the continuation of the Pendragon line rest for longer than Arthur expects him to, but inevitably, it comes up again.

'The Castlefords are coming for dinner this Saturday,' he tells Arthur. 'Make sure you're presentable; they're bringing their daughter.'

Arthur nods and braces himself for the talk about good blood, suitability and morality. Uther refers to Vivian, the daughter, in glowing terms, though privately, given he describes her as giddy Arthur doubts his father has seen her since she was a little girl ( ... )

The term passes quickly, and before long everyone is talking about Christmas. This year, Uther hands over the planning for the village New Year's party to Arthur. Apparently the village council have agreed, but he has his doubts about that.

'Make sure it's an affair with traditional family values; it reflects on us,' he growls at Arthur. He doesn't wait for an answer, hopping into his car to visit more potential sponsors for a new project he's barely talked about.

Arthur's not expecting much interest, but he asks around after church anyway to see if anyone wants to help him organise things. It's not exactly the highlight of anyone's social calendar, but for years, he's seen the way Uther's pushed the villagers around, so he doesn't see the harm in trying to come up with something that at least a few of them want.

Surprisingly, a lot of his friends do want to get involved. Unfortunately, Morgana is one of them, but between Gwaine and his tendency to mouth off over the slightest thing, and Elena's propensity for going off at a ( ... )
