I recently discovered the fairy tale this fic is based on--and this was a wonderful retelling of it! I especially loved Uther's and Ygraine's characters. And poor Leon with his string--lol! I loved that! And the last line was perfect :)
Thank you! :) I was wondering what someone who knew the original would think of it, so I'm glad you enjoyed this retelling - and Uther and Ygraine's characters. I haven't really written for them before so I'm very pleased you liked them. :)
Finally finished reading and what a wonderful fic!
I just loved all the characters- Arthur, Leon, Merlin, Marie...
This was such a rich story and I loved every moment. I particularly loved the scene where Arthur was finally able to cry and break the enchantment, that was wonderful.
You did a brilliant job in adapting the fairy tale to fit the Merlin world and make it your own.
I loved the epilogue too- <3 Merlin playing tricks on Arthur!
This was absolutely terrific! I'm so glad I finally had the time to read this (I knew I would want to read it in one go, so I was waiting until I had a nice chunk of time available). This was really quite an odd fairytale (I wiki-ed it, and wow...), but you made it work. I love how you incorporated all of the major players and the sweet development of Arthur/Gwen.
You clearly put a lot of time and effort into this fic and it shows. It's incredibly well written and definitely in the vein of fairy tales I read as a child.
Oh thank you so much! I know when I first found the fairytale on wiki I was like "...whut?" and then got annoyed at my brain for wanting to Merlin-ize it lol but I'm really glad you felt it worked, and enjoyed it. :D
