YES. THIS.

That's exactly what I want it to be like the first time they team up to fight Monster-of-the-Week together - all MAGIC and SWORD and BANTER and UTTER UTTER JOYCORE.

I've just found out about this deal we have where he saves my life and I save his. I think it's my week. LOL. Although strictly speaking Arthur, you've got a few weeks to go before you catch up...

[little_giddy]

EEEE. Thank you! *does mad dance of glee*

the first time they team up to fight Monster-of-the-Week together

BECAUSE THEY WILL. Arthur will *know* and they will be *epic* *stubborn* Auntie Beeb will MAKE IT HAPPEN.

you've got a few weeks to go before you catch up...
Ha! OMG, the look on his face if he ever finds that out. Please let Merlin be keeping score already *EG*

[cometotheedge]

*dances also*

Auntie Beeb will MAKE IT HAPPEN I have also put in a side order for them to have magic-v-sword training sessions. Possibly with shirtlessness :P

Please let Merlin be keeping score already THIS MUST OCCUR. Oh god, imagine it:

Arthur: Well, look, I did Valiant...
Merlin: ehh, not really.
Arthur: The afanc?
Merlin: Me.
Arthur: The griffin was Lancelot -
Merlin: You'd like to think that, wouldn't you?
Arthur: Edwin?
Merlin: Me again.
Arthur: What about Sofia?
Merlin: I saved you after you nearly drowned.
Arthur: HA! I knew you couldn't have knocked me out.

[little_giddy]

OMG I LOLED. That scene. I can SEE Merlin doing that stupid little "eh, *eyebrow* *smirk*, you'd like to think that" thing. OMG. IT MUST.

magic-v-sword training sessions. Possibly with shirtlessness :P *dies of laughter already* Oh, they have to. Also: Arthur wants a moving target. How about Merlin sending sparks at his feet so HE moves? *EG*

Arthur: Merlin, this is just petty.
Merlin: *innocent* It's the point! I can't control my magic - until we train.
Arthur: Outside. With your newfound inability to not make my shirt disappear.
Merlin: *counting on fingers* Three times in the stocks, at least. The rat stew-

Skulking!Arthur! Squished-by-wyvern!Arthur! Hee :D
Wonderful! I love this <-------------THIS-------------------> much!

[little_giddy]

HEE! Thank you very, very much! *is gleeful*

I love Arthur, and I do take his character seriously. Occasionally. But he's too much like fun to mock. :D

*FLAIL* This fic is awesome. I was very very confused at first, but then it all pieced together, and I like the oldmagic-newmagic conflict, and the banter, and Merlin's cool rationale, and Arthur's ability to lie, and just. Gah. Awesome.

[little_giddy]

HEE! Thank you very much! I wrote this quite quickly, and I'm sorry if the first section feels jumbled.

\o/

The entire fic is brilliant!

I was alternatively giggling at the boys and wanting to hug them for their confusion.

I really liked the process that Arthur underwent as he finally accepted lying for Merlin's life. *glees*

[little_giddy]

Thank you very, very much.

I was alternatively giggling at the boys and wanting to hug them for their confusion.

HEE! That's my general reaction to Merlin and Arthur most of the time. They're such... wonderful *boys.* But so very not.

[copracat]

I love how you wrote their interaction, their bantering. What a great story.

[little_giddy]

Thank you very much! :D
