Made me cry so bad

WHY
WHY DID I LET MYSELF READ THE ALTERNATE ENDING

I haven’t cried this hard from a fic in a LONG time.

I liked the addition of an alternate ending, it worked really well!

Wonderful angsty story with lots of feels...very emotive...had me crying. Love Merlin's selflessness, wanting to live long enough to ensure Arthur that he was forgiven. Nice story, I really liked it. I did not read the sad ending chapter 16. I don't like death flics. Thanks for writing a happy ending.

I love this storyits well written and really makes me feel for the characters

This whole thing is wonderfully written. I cried most of the time, but that just proves that was well made story. Thank you for writing and sharing it.

In the sixth text passage you wrote 'know know," just thought I let you know

NOOOOOOOO! MERLIN! WHAT DID YOU DOOOOOO! *squeaks* NO!

Excellent

Like this ending, but living and happy is my prefered. Still, well done.

Love your story and both endings. Although I prefer to live I really liked your imaginings of his death. Great emotive and descriptive writing throughout all 16 chapters. I hope you have more stories that you're willing to share?

This was a great alternate ending! It's absolutely beautiful.

Fab...channelling a little Mary Shelly here...loved the explanation of magic, lightening and Excalibur joining together to heal. Very new idea.

Not confusing at all, just beautifully written. Arthur seeing and feeling all the memories and then to find the blue orb...very well balanced mixture of flashback and emotions.

A rip roaring read so far...really well written and brilliantly paced with the moments of action interspersed with reflection.
