That was a perfect last line. Great twist to the story.

nice

Thank you for writing and posting, it's appreciated.

This is so beautifully written. I really like this.

Ohhhh, my soul. ALL THE FEELS AGHHHH

That was really sweet :D Poor Merlin :'(

Oh my God I loved this. I watched this episode earlier and it was so sad. Great job! 3

Don't doubt yourself, it is a great story! Is it your first attempt? You're in for good then :). You have a talent there, don't let it fo away!

FAN!

That was sweet :) I think you did a really good job narrating the characters movements from Arthur's perspective throughout this, and you handled the ending scene and Arthur's early departure prior to it tastefully, although, yes, the ending line might've used some work. Perhaps it could be rewritten as a thought-line rather than a description of what they knew/thought-
"...behind him, both the prince and the warlock continued the conversation one line longer, with a silent vow.
"/I always will be, my friend./"
All-in-all, very nice work. Keep it up :)
God bless *heart*

Awwww! That just brought back so many feels!

Loved it! :)

Okay, this was seriously weird for me to read, as I've written a oneshot with a pretty much identical premise in the past, so I was constantly comparing how you've written the idea to how I did. Lol.
I like that you had Arthur actually talk to Merlin about it. The end did come across as slightly cheesy, but who doesn't like a bit of cheese every now and then, eh?
Another thing I liked was the conciseness. My version focused very much on Arthur's internal struggles, and I liked that you kept his reactions brief, as it allows the reader to form some of their own pictures/ideas based upon you own. Nicely done.
So there we are. Well done, especially as it's your first Merlin fic. It'll be interesting to see if I end up stumbling across any of your stuff in the future. XD

This was amazing! it made me tear up! You are a brilliant author! Good job! The last line was fine; don't worry about it. :)
