That was great. Loved it from Leon's POV. Poor Leon being so confused but it all ended well. Loved that Merlin was the cab driver!

Thanks so much for the lovely comment! I'm so glad that it worked for you. :)

I'm such a fan of reincarnation fics. For just about any fandom!
This was just a fantastic new addition to the reason why I love them! Funny and clever, I do hope we get to read more!

I don't even know if I've read a reincarnation fic in another fandom, but this is my only fandom that's taken place in the past.

Thank so much for the awesome comment.

Oh, I'm glad you liked that line. I almost didn't put it in, but I really do like Arthur a lot, so I wanted him to have an earnest moment with Leon where he let Leon know what he was going through.

Thanks for the wonderful comment!

What a massively great idea to include Leon into a reincarnation fic. And him and Morgana made me squee! Loved this (and the other part, as well). :D

Thanks so much! Leon needed some reincarnated love. :)

How excited am I that this is turning in a 'verse? VERY! :DDD

Leon! Oh, I loved him in the first fic and having this fic in his POV is great. I especially liked the part where they segue together when Leon's getting Arthur the cab. <3

He survived the dragon attack! This makes me ridiculously happy. :) But that must have been a terrifying thing for him to remember. And awww at the part where everyone knows Merlin as a sorcerer, except they don't. ;)

I really loved Arthur's line about not living up to his old life. And Morgana's stolen kiss! <3 Merlin's cameo cracks me up ("Cheers for that, by the way"). I love the ending where they're all together and I just get this hopeful feeling of their lives beginning all over again, starting anew, together! \o/

*is intimidated* Crap. Am I making a verse? I don't have the attention span to make a verse! And God, what's going to happen next in this verse? Uther and Gwen meeting up, and they both recognized each other, Gwen more so than Uther because because Uther wasn't really aware of Morgana's serving girl and Arthur didn't marry her until Uther died. And then someone, possibly Leon or Merlin happens upon them and it is all awkward because there is Gwen/Arthur/Merlin kind of threesome and Uther's right there...and god damn it. I'm not going to write that. It sounds complicated. And boring. And something else besides meeting up would have to happen.

Anyway, I'm so glad you like this. The segue was hard because I didn't want to write the same things again, but I wanted them to mesh. So I'm glad that you really liked that part.

Thanks for the wonderful, wonderful comment. :)

I don't have the attention span to make a verse!

Oh, this is exactly how I am. :) I have no attention span at all when it comes to writing and it's really frustrating. I didn't mean to intimidate you, though! I love these two fics enough that they're an entire verse to me.

It sounds complicated. And boring.

Complicated, I agree with, but boring, never! :) There's so many possibilities, and each one has amazing potential. I love hearing your ideas, even if they just stay ideas, because they're great fun to poke around. :D

I love the way you did it! Just the bit of conversation so that it's not repetitive, but enough that you know exactly where it takes place with the added benefit of another POV. <3

It started to be like, oh this can't be a verse because what would happen next, Uther and Gwen meet up, all sarcastic like. And then it was like...oooh, that could be interesting actually. And then my brain kind of went to Been there, done that. Sorry to comment spam you. ;)

Thanks again for the lovely comments. When are you going to write some more? *subtle!NB is subtle*
