EPIC. ♥

Characterization was brilliant. Oh, boys.

[shesakicker]

Hee! I'm glad you liked it!

OMG, THIS FIC IS MADE OF PURE AWESOME!!! *flails*

I love it that you didn't take the obvious route (as in make Arthur Jason Bourne), because the story was so much more interesting this way. I love that you kept both Merlin and Arthur's personalities pretty much intact, but still made them work perfectly in this premise. I love that you managed to bring magic into the story in a way that was both natural and very clever. AND I really loved that you substituted the original hair dying scene with one involving shaving, because it worked like a charm. Not to mention was really bloody sexy to boot.

...So what I'm in fact trying to say here is that this fic is bloody brilliant. *applauds* :)

[shesakicker]

Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I have this mad love on magic in modern settings, so I would have had to kick myself if I couldn't work it in.

I really loved this. Even in such a strange situation they felt perfectly *them* and the way you used magic in the story was wonderful. My only complaint would be that I wanted to read more of this world *g*. Terrific fic. Many thanks for sharing :)

[shesakicker]

Thank you! I have weird ideas about continuing, but must find a way to avoid the pesky character death inherent in the Bourne Supremacy. It would make me cry to much to do that to them.

[kathyh]

And me! Pesky character death is definitely to be avoided, but I'd certainly be interested in reading more in the 'verse :)

I've been reading the books and she doesn't die in them. Basically, they (the government) kidnap her so that David will go back to being Jason again. So, if you were to, I don't know, have someone kidnap Arthur, you could avoid the entire problem. Grins hopefully.

Besides, killing Arthur would be dreadful and not continuing this would be nearly as sad. Because nothing is as upsetting as Arthur or Merlin dieing.

By the by, you are now one of my favorite people ever.

Oh, wow, mixing the magic into the story like that was brilliant, and the casting was fabulous. I love the film and loved this story; loved how you kept it authentic on both counts. Great job!

[shesakicker]

So glad you liked it! Like I said above... crazy love on magic in modern settings. One day I'll try to make Merlin, Harry Potter and Harry Dresden all work in one messed up universe.

And possibly go crazy doing so.

I WANT TO READ THAT!
