I have been SO looking forward to this ever since you posted that little snippet. :) Also, you had me DYING in between when you posted part 2 and part 3. WAY TO BE REALLY GOOD AT SUSPENSE. :P

Anyway, I love this. So much. The Arthur/Merlin is incredibly heartbreaking. That is JUST LIKE Merlin to assume Arthur had given up on him when the complete opposite was true.

I think I need to watch Incredible Hulk now. (Okay, important question, do they get to have sex again? ;) )

IN CONCLUSION, <3 <3 <3

HEEE *does a dance of total dorky glee*

WAY TO BE REALLY GOOD AT SUSPENSE. :P

Totally unintentional, I SWEAR! :D I had to switch the coding from the RTF editor to the HTML editor on the posting thingy after accidentally doing it the wrong way as I wrote it *blush* And I didn't know anyone was reading as I posted *GLEE AGAIN BC THAT'S JUST COOLNESS*

Thank you very, very much. Hee, Merlin and Denial totally get cozy.

I think I need to watch Incredible Hulk now.

*NODS* YES. EDWARD NORTON. LIV TYLER who plays the Arthur character. *snicker*

do they get to have sex again? ;)
Are we talking in the fic, in the film, in the comics, in my head or in the original TV series? *GRIN*

Yay, you deserve dorky glee dances. :)

And I didn't know anyone was reading as I posted
It's not your fault. I KNEW you were in the middle of posting it, but it was just SITTING there on my flist, yelping "READ ME READ ME." I couldn't resist. :P

I am strangely disappointed that the movie doesn't have actually slash in it. Or Colin Morgan. It's dl'ing now and will soon be watched. :)

Wait... there's a sex problem in the movie too? @_@
Umm... in your head.

*twirls you again then* *with dorky grin*

OH SUCH ICON LOVE.

I couldn't resist. :P
HEE. It's incredibly cool that you didn't - the thought of someone actually sitting reading it AS I was editing/posting the next bit is very cool somehow. Like real time somehow? No idea what I mean.

I'm thankful for not having a telly in this flat- I'd have that reaction every time I turned it on :D This whole Waiting For Series 2 thing is BAD ENOUGH, BBC.

Wait... there's a sex problem in the movie too?
On account of this film being awesome, I refuse to divulge spoilers of any kind. *feel virtuous*

Umm... in your head.
In my head: Merlin, being the dedicated soul he is, learns *control*. It limits what he can feel, but Arthur- *eg*. The potential for absolutely filthy porn in this universe scares me a little.

THE REUNION WAS BEAUTIFUL. Although, poor boys, not being able to have make-up sex properly.

Also: Hee, Gaius. And cupboards, lol!

This tickled all my emo, INTENSE and loving spots just the right way. Compliments, compliments m'dear!

And: STARK INDUSTRIES!!!

HEE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I almost said 'closet' but the Brit in me rebelled.

HEE. YAY! *beams* I was hoping it wasn't Incredibly Emo To the Point of Aaargh.

And: STARK INDUSTRIES!!!
*EVIL GRIN*

LOL. Incredibly Emo To the Point of Aargh is annoying and overberaing (and also a brilliant way of putting it). Your writing sure wasn't!

And hee, yes, closet. I was going to comment on that. :D

*grin* Who needs subtle when you can throw them unwillingly in with the spare ironing board? :D

OMG WIN!! I loved this, I've been having an edward norton week and this really topped it off for me ^.^

That surprised a laugh out of Merlin, who rolled his eyes at the ceiling. "I don't remember much teasing - in fact, I think we were both disgracefully easy."

Parts of me wants to steal those last two words, for they are glorious and probably very true concerning the boys ^.^

an edward norton week

Oh, that sounds awesome. What have you been watching, if you don't mind my asking? Hee, thanks! :D

LOL. I really hope think they are disgracefully easy for each other - they have too much *fun* when you put them together, both high rated fun and just genuine enjoyment of the banter etc.. I was going to have a much more moody, angsty scene post-the reunion in this, but the two plotlines came together and they just wouldn't be miserable.

Thanks again :D

we've been watching fight club and discussing it in my class (I love a class where we can actually choose a paper topic revolving around brad pitt's body)

Just want to mention a thanks for this comment - I'm in the same position: not really following/understanding this either (I haven't seen the movie/don't know much about Hulk, etc.), but I'm skimming through the fic because I really think it'd be incredible. I'll give it a more thorough read now, since eventually you got it - hopefully I will too. :)

Thanks very much for your honesty- I didn't give much background or initial exposition, which is a flaw. I really hope you enjoy it - if anything is incredibly unclear, please let me know and I'll do a clean up/edit.

Your icon is fantastic. :D

Thank you very, very much for sticking with it and for your review- it means a lot. It was my pleasure (and sometimes, such a *pain*, lol) to write it.

OMG, thank you so much! This totally made my day.

Hee, I wanted to throw that in there, because when my friend made - MADE - me watch the film ages ago (Iron Man, then this), I was all gleeful and then THE ENDINGS HAPPENED TO ME. They sealed my obsession :D

Thanks again for reading- glad you enjoyed it!
