The Route to Advancement: A Day at the Tournament (Merlin Fanfic)

[magog_83]

Here is the massively overdue third (and probably final) part of what’s turned into the Route to Advancement series.

I think you probably need to have read parts 1 and 2 for this last part to make sense. They are The Route To Advancement : 1 | 2

I'm relieved to say this has now been beta'd by vensre - who has found all my missing commas, introduced me

Hee, this is so very funny. Perfect Manservant!Merlin is so adorable. :D

Thank you! I'm so pleased you enjoyed it and that it was actually funny :) Cheers for commenting

I like Percy :)

Was very happy to see his moment of glory, even if it did need aiding and abetting!

[magog_83]

Yes - he did need a little help. I think he's going to have to do some serious work with Brutus in future (or get himself a pet rat). Thanks for commenting :)

I loved this so much. It was genuinely funny and warm, and I hope I see more of your Percy someday. I loved MErlin's irrepressible mischievousness and Arthur's exasperated affection. wonderful.

I'm sure that I will probably return to Percy some day (i've got weirdly fond of him) but i'll have to come up with a good idea first!

Anyway thank you for commenting - i'm so relieved people seem to be enjoying it and that all the characters came across in a good light, I was a bit worried Arthur might seem TOO annoyed with Merlin, so i'm glad it came across as affectionate :)

Still the most adorable ever! I love Percy's relationship with Brutus; the horror that his father is; the fun his sister got to have with Morgana; Merlin's irrepressible cheekiness, even--or especially--when it looks like perfect obedience; and of course Arthur's un-Princely behavior. SO MUCH FUN! :D

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, I was stupidly nervous about posting it this time so it's such a relief that you enjoyed all the different threads going on, i've never attempted anything remotely like a series before.

Thanks for reading and commenting :)

Merlin as the Perfect Manservant-that was just brilliant! This was a great ending-I really love Percy he's so adorable!

[magog_83]

I can't imagine that even Merlin the Perfect Manservant would be able to resist having fun at Arthur's expense. Poor Arthur, he does suffer!

Thanks for commenting - and i'm glad you like Percy (even if he is a little hopeless)
