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

Mar 21, 2009 16:02

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 ( Read more... )

fanfic, percy, route to advancement, merlin, merlin/arthur

It was utterly delightful! I will keep my eye on you because this fic made it so HARD not to laugh aloud and wake everyone in the middle of the night. Keep up the good work!

Thank you! I'm really pleased you liked it that much (but relieved obviously that you didn't wake everyone up!). I've found the whole Merlin fandom very bad for that, I seem to live a strange nocturnal life now that involves 'just one more fic' (repeat phrase until you nod off on the keyboard) and lots of laughing quietly to myself :)

This whole series is wonderful. Percy is adorable - I particularly loved his treatment of Brutus!

Are you absolutely certain this is the last part? I don't feel ready yet to part with Percy and his observations of Arthur and the Perfect Manservant :)

I think i'm all out of ideas for the moment - but if I come up with any more I may well attempt some more Percy Chronicles later on :)

But i'm glad you enjoyed it so much (and even liked Brutus the Useless Warhorse). Thanks for reading and commenting!!

Firstly - may I apologise for my awful grammar! I have no excuse after being in higher education for 8 years (slaps self), I'll definitely be going through it later to put in some commas ( ... )

*giggling madly* I just read all three parts of this in one go, and you, my dear, are brilliant. I love your Percy, and I love the way he sees your Arthur and Merlin. It also made me quite smug and happy to think that really, he was Sir Percival and would be a Knight of the Round Table, because he's such a sweetie and clearly deserves it.

But my favourite part? Much as I loved Merlin the Perfect Manservant and Brutus's reaction to rats, I have to say that it would be the story about the wedding of Percy's father. I had been snerking and grinning throughout, but that sentence BROKE ME. Please can we haz moar?

You have no idea how relieved I am to have someone comment on the 'wedding joke'! I tried it out on a friend of mine yesterday and after a lengthy silence (and possibly a tumbleweed) she just said "I don't get it" and I thought OH GOD MY JOKE IS PANTS. So,er, yes - it's a relief to hear you found it funny!

So thank you very much for your comment! And yes, Percy does have an illustrious career ahead of him (even if I played horribly fast and loose with his upbringing etc)
