BBC Merlin rpf: The power of illusion; pg13

[reveuse2]

These boys are still interfering with my plans. I seem to have spent the last few days in Camelot (well, on set, anyway) but I have to get them out of my head before I can even think of getting back to the book. There's many a true word spoken in an lj journal title. :)

Title: The power of illusion
Rating: PG13
Word count: 2,001
Pairing: Colin/Bradley

How are there no comments around here?! *peers around* This was great, I like how you gave us Colin's POV and the feel of filming on the set of Merlin. The way you brought the boys together was just lovely.

"Cutting Room" was the first story I posted with links back to my journal - the others I posted direct to fic sites so the comments are there. :) But I thank you for wandering through the other fics here and taking the trouble to comment - and I'm delighted you enjoyed this one.

At first, I was a little worried I wasn't going to like where the story was heading--no, Colin, I don't want you to angst about Bradley being straight! But then Bradley was teasing and lovely and it was great. And I am rapidly becoming a huge fan of your writing and descriptions.

Also really liked the line about Colin and Merlin both waiting to be discovered.

Thank you so much - I'm delighted that you are enjoying my stories! Ah, yes - i love that duality about secrets... That on one level you want to keep then close, but on another (particularly if they are about your feelings for another person) there is that terrible but wonderful longing for your secret to be discovered. :)

if you have a sudden need to be inundated with comments, you could cross-post these fics to one of those bradley/colin comms. course then people will be harping on you to write more because they are all bloody brilliant.

guh. must stop reading and go to bed. don't think i won't be back to drool over the rest of your fic though. ♥

Hi, I *did* post them to BradleyColin and MerlinRPF, back when i first wrote them. Wasn't inundated, but I got a few nice comments, so not complaining! I didn't link them to my journal, though - so none of the comments are here. Anyway, I just love that you're enjoying reading through my fic. Thank you so much for the lovely compliments! :)

[snottygrrl]

it makes no sense to me that you weren't buried in comments. maybe folk were scared off from reading by the beautiful angst that they thought wouldn't be resolved. definitely their loss.or maybe they were all weeping too much from emotional release. that's probably it [*nods*]

[reveuse2]

Ah, well - I love doing the angst but you can guarantee I will *always* resolve it. I'm an unashamed romantic and these boys so deserve a happy ending after all I put them through! :)
