Ooh, this is interesting, do we get to see them make up by any chance?

phantomreviewer July 19 2009, 21:18:33 UTC

It won't right anymore! I'm afraid that's your lot. I tried I really did but nothing would come out, seriously. :-(

Glad you liked though.

ack! two things!
first of all, aboslutely fantastic. it was sad and hopeful and yes. c: (no objections if more wishes to make itself known, but really really good the way it is.)

secondly! icon. (complete agreement) and i was wondering if i might possibly steal it... (and is there anything a fangirl could do? i hear they're cancelling it due to not having enough funds...)

phantomreviewer July 20 2009, 15:25:00 UTC

I think that a bonus scene is going to happen at some point (today probably) just so I can call it a wrap. But thanks so much!!!

It has been cancelled. :-( But we're protesting so feel free to take, you can find who made it in my icons.

Moar! Please? *pouts*

phantomreviewer July 19 2009, 21:45:48 UTC

It won't write anymore I swear! I'm writting some fluffy stuff with teaching Merlin to fence. (Unfortuantly angst has come though in a big way!) But I'll try. Maybe more will happen at some point, but to me this mini-series it ended. Look out for 'Pommel' coming your way soon!

noahvearn July 19 2009, 23:17:00 UTC

eh? eh? does that means it end like that? that's all? no talk? compensate? amends?

phantomreviewer July 19 2009, 23:30:48 UTC

*cries*

Is no one going to tell me they liked it? I swear to you, I sweated and slaved (whilst still being very ill I assure you) to get this fic to a better ending and it just would not go. This mini-series just does not want to have that kind of conclusion. I kept trying to get them to talk but the words aren't coming and... :-( I'll have to try again at some point as it seems no one who's read it is happy with it, but it's just *not* coming. And I'm off to Romania on Saterday. *sigh*

noahvearn July 19 2009, 23:46:59 UTC

no no no. don't be like that. don't mean to make you sad. of course i like it. it just something missing that's all. arthur's suffering? yay! (a bit. i am not suppose to feel like that. huhuhu). merlin's suffering? T_T (i assumed he suffered too since he loves arthur so much). maybe you should rest a bit for while and calm down. muse always come at the unexpected time and place ;)

phantomreviewer July 20 2009, 00:23:15 UTC

I kind of know its missing but it just wouldn't write and even if it had been written it didn't fit in with the flow of thie piece, and I'm really not very happy with this chapter at all, which is a shame because I love Gal and he should have more screen time, but if I didn't post it then... yeah. Yup Arthur's suffering was intended for people to be a little 'you deserved that' and then 'awww' and Merlin got rather mollycoddled by Morgana and Will... Knowing my luck it'll be in the middle of dratted Romania. I just can't get out the words for what they;d say it (here being the problem of writing out of sequence as at the momemt I'm working on about a year and 6 months in the past from this fic and then I'm going straight to three years in the future)
Edit: My sleepless brain has just addled me into a solution, if I can get the actual Merlin and Arthur talking section down as a bonus scene then it doesn't need 'plot', 'length' or 'setting' I can just carry on in my bonus scene (dialogue with very little description) style. Remind me ( ... )

*hugging Merlin and Arthur*

Oh, open ending ♥ *imagining them making out in the hospital*

phantomreviewer July 20 2009, 00:27:55 UTC

Yay?

*clings*

Open ending might not be open for very long it has to be said but that is a very pretty image.... :-D Thanks!

I was so happy to see another story in this series. Thankyou so much for the hopeful ending.

phantomreviewer July 20 2009, 14:05:02 UTC

Thanks. Glad you liked. :-D
