Oh, this was so wonderful! I loved the movie -- rather unexpectedly -- but even more so, I loved this fic -- which was much more expected. The detail and original adaptations to the plot were great, but most of all I loved the fact that Arthur and Merlin were constantly on each other’s minds when they were apart and how once they see each other nothing can stop them from being together. I absolutely love that sort of single-minded devotion!!!

Also, your WoW reference killed me dead. WTT: [Eternal Love] for [More from this ‘Verse]! okay, was that way too geeky? so sorry ;P

In conclusion: ♥thank you, you made my night♥

Thanks so much! :D

HEE! The WoW ref was the very first scene I wrote- in my head, there's whole *years* of geekery in their past. LOL. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TOO GEEKY. When I get time to deal with the artwork side of it, I have a fanmix ready for this story, a sort of soundtrack- a more neatly ordered version of the playlist I used to break a few stall points in the writing. Also, this verse is demanding a few missing scenes to give the girls more of a role - I feel I shortchanged Gwen in particular. Not sure when they'll appear, but they *will.* :D

This was amazing. The entire thing was perfect. It was well written, very funny, heartbreaking, just absolutely perfect. I had to rec it. It was too good not to :D

little_giddy March 8 2009, 17:30:40 UTC

Dude, I saw your rec over on camelot_recs and nearly *died* from the flailing. Thank you so much. (Also, your icons. LOVE.)

shiny_starlight March 10 2009, 16:50:28 UTC

You're very welcome. I hope it gets people to read it, cos it's worthy of much much love

And thank you :D That is one of my favourite icons. I use it an alarming ammount

This is fantastic. Fast paced and moving in all the right places. And I do love Merlin's emo, and Will's cameo, and really I just ♥ed all over this.

little_giddy March 8 2009, 17:32:28 UTC

Thank you very much! HEE. In my head in this 'verse, Merlin is emo until Arthur can't put up with it anymore and bans it. He has to live with him, after all.

it's nearly 5:30 in the am and I've been reading this story because I couldn't just stop anywhere. so please accept the following feedback:

OMG I loved this so very very much!! and I don't even like the Incredible Hulk story! but you made it work so very very well with the Merlin 'verse, and I have nothin but love.

little_giddy March 8 2009, 17:33:33 UTC

Dude, I'm sorry I kept you up so late! But thanks very much - it's *such* a compliment that you liked this even though you don't like what it's based on. Thank you again :D

Seriously, I love this story. LOVE IT. I'm another one who was never interested in the Hulk story but you did wonders with the movie (and I have to thank you for not including the words HULK SMASH anywhere in this). The way you wove their history together into the present day story was so good I'm now wishing I had a story just about that point in time too (Or maybe I just want the excuse to contemplate a Merlin with multi-colored hair *g*).

In particular I loved the way you wrote Arthur - and I can't even be coherent about it, believe me, I've tried. It just devolves into keyboard smashes.

little_giddy March 16 2009, 00:40:38 UTC

thank you for not including the words HULK SMASH anywhere in this

*SHUDDERS* God, no. I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Or maybe I just want the excuse to contemplate a Merlin with multi-colored hair *g*

I WILL HELP. GLADLY. He must abuse over the counter hair dye. And possibly accidentally chemicals. *grin*

Dude, thanks so much *beams* I love him, the idiot, he's an absolute joy to write.

mirrorskippy March 16 2009, 12:18:21 UTC

I couldn't bring myself to do it.
And we are all better off for it.

He must abuse over the counter hair dye.
I know there has to have been at least one instance of bright pink. If I could photoshop I'd be all over this, believe me.
