All i can say is 'Adorbs!'
and all i can do is the dance of love!
*proceeds to do the dance of love*

[radio_silent]

Aw, thank you! "Adorbs" is such a silly word, I'm rather delighted I'm not the only who says it after Merlin-associated activities! And is that a Joss Whedon reference I spy there? *Does a dance as well.*

Anyway. Yes. I'm so glad you like the fic! : )

[monicaop]

Lovely!!! I hope you continue this universe 'cause I like it!!

I have tons of questions!!!

Why did Arthur quit, how powerful is Merlin's magic? Is this going to be an ot4 or just Arthur/Merlin?

Oh tons!!! Thank you :), be well!!

[radio_silent]

Well, I have PLENTY of answers. Though I suppose I'll be saving those for a sequel, because I like this universe too! ; )

...I just have to finish my other, longer Merlin fic before I can do any more writing for this. *Glances guiltily over at "Of Dreams & Dragons"*

One answer to tease with, at least--this is heading towards an Arthur/Merlin fic, probably not an ot4. Though obviously the girls will continue to be important characters as well.

Thank you for the comments and encouragement, I'm so glad you liked the fic!

[monicaop]

Well... considering I haven't started with "Of Dreams & Dragons" 'cause I really try not to get into fics that aren't complete...

*something to do with my mental health when I get to anxious about updates... at least my friends said so... weird,*

Sorry anyway, since I haven't read D&D... you can continue this one!!! ;). I mean really... is school that important?? ;). Hugs and thanks for answering!!

[radio_silent]

I completely understand not wanting to get into WIPs! I tend to avoid them (for the same reasons you do) unless I adore the author, or I didn't realize it was a WIP, or it comes highly, highly recommended. And then I always get anxious about updates, too. : )

My hope is to end D&D soon, and then work on this! (And I may or may not already have started the "Dinner" sequel!)

I hope you don't mind if I add you as a friend?

This is so lovely!
I cracked up at John's destiny speech :)
Love Hunith's string of useless boyfriends and Gaius's 'Rawr'!

[radio_silent]

Aw, thanks for the comment! I'm so glad you liked the fic.

...I think I have WAY too much fun writing the Dragon. I didn't even know I liked him this much, but of the two Merlin fics I've written he's got huge destiny speeches in each! (SOMETIMES even more than one...)

[nyargles]

Ahahahahahahahahaha! This was absolutely great. XDD I especially like the line:

Mordred blinked.

[radio_silent]

Yay, I'm so glad you liked the fic! And especially the Mordred bits--they were so much fun to write, but I was worried I was maybe going over the top? (And then my brain echoed back "but he's so cuuuuute" and I kept writing them!)

[cainangrey]

I would love to see a continuation of this. TO see the development of Arthur and Merlins relationship

[radio_silent]

Ummm, well, I may have a sequel in the planning? But there are a couple things (a Merlin WIP, going back to school, etc.) in the way. So I'm not sure when it'll happen, but it's something I'd really, really like to write.

Anyway, thank you for the lovely comment, and also the writing encouragement!
