Ooh. I love it.
Will dying always makes me ;_;, no matter how many variations on it I read...

[sleep_not]

Thanks! I hope I didn't make you too sad!

<3

Oh, ouch ;_;

Poor Arthur, being the only one who remembers for so long *wibbles*

I love this <3 Thank you for writing it.

Thank *you* for reading it!

This is awesome! I loved how Merlin is younger and he was the last to remember, it always seems the be the other way around in these fics. Loved this, cute little Merlin throwing things at other peoples heads. hehe.

[sleep_not]

Yeah, Merlin totally expected to get away with it too. If it hadn't been for Arthur's pesky remembering...

[cruaich]

That was really sweet (and sad at the end). I'm glad Merlin finally remembered. Extra points for having Merlin be the last one to remember!

[sleep_not]

Thank you! I'd like to point out that, apart from Arthur, Merlin's the *only* other person who remembers by the end of the fic. The others never had the right stimuli.

[cruaich]

I think I phrased that badly, I just meant that in most reincarnation fics I've read, Merlin's the first of the two to remember anything. :)

[sleep_not]

Very true! I personally find Arthur POV easier to write in some ways, especially for AUs.

[vaudevilles]

I enjoyed the tenderness and loneliness at the heart of that very much - thank you for not leaving them broken!

[sleep_not]

Thank you! I might be physically incapable of writing an unhappy ending. ^_^
