Poor Arthur. His men dying like that and he not able to do anything. Sounds like these monks need to be taken down if they are killing people.

[surgical_rush]

You may be right.

[surgical_rush]

I just read through all 3 chapters and I am hooked. You get some very interesting ideas for your fics. I just want to say how in character everyone is. Merlin all fierce and lacking his usual mercy when Arthur in danger. Arthur displaying upset in bad temper. I was glad he finally broke down with the grief. I think he keeps all his feelings bolted down, then if something extreme happens, they all come pouring out. Like in episode 11. I am finding these monks rather sinister and creepy which is great.

Biggest squee goes to your UST. It is painful. Your fic reads as though they are soulmates but neither of them consciously knows it yet. It is so them. Why do men never admit their feelings? Brownie points from me for not making Arthur dense. I don't mind thick Arthur fics, but when people write as though that's canon, it doesn't sit well with me. He's blind, not stupid and no one else has noticed his magic either. I officially love and if you don't update soon I will steal all your green tea! I mean it!

[surgical_rush]

Noooo, not the green tea! Whatever would I do without it?

Thank you dearly for such a gorgeous review. I am delighted to hear that you think the monks are creepy - I think they are rather cool (even if they are my own characters, lol).

Everything you've said is lovely, and its brilliant to hear that I got characterization right. Very informative review - exactly the kind of thing I need.

Thank you!

PS: I'll update as soon as I can, but please don't take the green tea!

[arthur_angel]

ah ha ha! I am the great green tea robber. All green tea be it plain, with peppermint or jasmine. Whatever, it is mine! None can distract me from my quest to own all green tea, except perhaps fic updates!

[surgical_rush]

Green tea with mint is sooo refreshing! Its just so lovely.

:D

[surgical_rush]

That idea just popped into my head while I was writing, so I went with it.

Thanks, as always.

:D
