eee, I quite loved this.

[little_giddy]

*G* Thank you very, very much!

[porntestpilot]

Oh, I loved this! And it's probably closest to how Arthur will react!

[little_giddy]

Thanks very much! I hope so- I had real trouble getting him particularly angry or even threatened by Merlin being a sorcerer - mostly the Arthur!voice was saying 'but it's Merlin' as if that explained everything, lol.

I love this - the Arthur / Merlin and Gaius banter is spot on.

I also love that your Arthur has problems lying to his father about it, but eventually does. IMO that's the main reason Merlin doesn't tell him in show.

Thank you very much! The banter and the dialogue is one of my favourite things about the show.

that's the main reason Merlin doesn't tell him in show.

Thank you again! I couldn't make it easy for him to do so exactly- his father is both his king and his father, and those are things he takes more seriously than almost anything else, particularly when he thinks that Uther is right. By the end of the fic, in my head, Arthur hasn't changed his mind about magic- he's mostly making an exception for Merlin (because it's *Merlin*), if that makes any sense.

Fabulous! I love the way Arthur has to reassess his view of Merlin once he knows there's something of actual worth that gives Merlin that cheekiness. And I empathize with the weight of his secret!

[little_giddy]

Thank you very much! Hehe, I think he'd have to. It's not so much even that it's arrogance: Merlin's just been raised in the knowledge that he answers to a whole other scale and hierarchy, one he happens to be much higher up in.

I love this kind of a whole lot, actually. <33333333

[little_giddy]
