yea, this is getting too graphic for me. You should up the rating to M.
You would think Merlin would use his magic before he let it get this far, as in cannon he always does.

I don't really like my last review actually it makes it sound pike I didn't like it when I really did. I would read it again. It was really good. Loved it!

Yeah I enjoyed it. Lost some of its lovable charm and humour near the end but still good. I didn't exactly enjoy the ending as I think there should have been more earlier to suggest nightmares. As after the whipping they were both pretty okay. But I can accept it and say I enjoyed the story mostly. However the ending fell a little flat. Good job though. I really love the flair your writing has. I can really see your handywork in it. You have this charming writing that gives it something unique and makes me want to read on for this very reason. They relationship between Merlin and Arthur was beautifully executed whilst saying true to the characters even if I felt merlin went a bit OOC near the end there. Your banter and one liners kept me wanting to read and cracked me up. Loved that bit the best. Meanwhile its was a good story that could have used a bit of a faster more gripping pace when the main climax/cliff hanger happened. But anyway I'm not an expert so overall I enjoyed it and if all you do is keep getting better then well. Were going to see a lot coming out of you one day and Im gonna waste all my money on it. Good job ;) x

Oh I really love it. That just felt like the perfect place to end it.

I really loved that chapter. Oh my gosh I was in love. You really seem to understand the dynamics of Merlin and Arthur's relationships and weave it into your writing so well. The last chapter was not really in my taste but I really loved how you didn't use it as an exuse to completely change Merlin's character. I have seen so many hurt fanfictions and whenever the character is tortured or in this case flogged then they make the character really dark. Which normally doesn't happen in real life. It doesn't change who you are. I thought that's where this story was going so thank you so much. Thank you. I'm still really enjoying this story!

I really like the little bit of spice your writing style brings to the characters it gives your story a little bit of a kick I couldn't get anywhere else.

Love it again. While I would have been more of the approach of Melrin saying that Arthur was a Pratt and Dollophead and there's nothing worth knowing I can see and understand where your coming from too. Im really enjoying this actually.

You know what. I actually started reading the first paragraph and then stopped because I thought it was going to be stupid but something bought me back. And I'm so glad it did. While it was a rocky first paragraph or two just slipping into the feel of the characters, it straightened out and might have become one of my favorite Merlin stories already. It has good pace and sounds like Merlin and Arthur's thoughts. The dialogue is fitting and feels right. All of this felt real and actually matched something I think I could see in the series. It had a bumpy start but boy I love it already. Good job. You've really captured them well. Get it captured. Because haha.. Yeah.

Great writing. Well done on the characterization.

Merlin has both Courage and Strength within him.

Fantastic. I wish I could have read the original 7 chapters though. Would you please post them separately?

Oh my gosh! I'm seriously loving this so far!
I love how fiercely protective Arthur is and how Merlin's refusing to him give up!

You did good.

Damn it Arthur, why you gotta go ruin my feels with some stupid bias against magic all the time?

Loved this! Thanks for writing. :)
