This verse is so heartwrenching, I really hope you will continue this. ^^

[lindor1306]

I will, don't worry! It kept me sane in work today thinking of how the next chapter will go and how the big LINK will be made! :D

Thanks for posting this! I'll look forward to reading the next instalment. Merlin seems so confused and Arthur clueless and wellmeaning, but we can't help but care about them.

[lindor1306]

Yeah... I think Arthur may get a bit more clued up over time, as he gets to know Merlin more and Gwen helps him. As for Merlin, though, I'm afraid he's just gonna get more and more confused!

Oh gosh, dear sweet Merlin. =( looking forward to seeing more, hope you're doing okay writing something so heavy

[lindor1306]

Glad you like. Writing it's been good. Really intense and sometimes tough, but it's done more for me than three years of therapy ever did!!

Poor Merlin. No wonder he's such a mess.

[lindor1306]

Yes... she just fell perfectly into that role. And thinking about that just led me to realise who the bad guy's gonna be and how that makes other people bad!! AWESOME!!

Anyway... my Skoma epiphany aside, SO glad you're enjoying it, and hope you haven't been too traumatised by reading it!
