I really enjoyed this story. I'm glad you kept Arthur and Merlin's relationship in all its platonic but wholehearted glory. You capture each character's unique voice perfectly. I would love to read more, though I'm guessing it's unlikely to happen at this point. Thanks for sharing.

The only problem with this is the fact there's not more of it : )
Honestly I think you've done a really good job of confronting the issues between Arthur and Merlin and I love the fact that you kept the 'old man' Merlin idea in and didn't change the original story too much. Oh and I really really like the idea behind Merlin's magic, I never thought of that before but it would make a lot of sense wouldn't it xD

How could you do this!? It's been years and you just left it at this! Just rip my fucking heart out why don't you. Please tell me if you plan on finishing this story. I'm not signed in right now, but if you search the name listed with this comment you'll find me.

This was amazing, I liked the way you took it slowly and I’m sure that this will never update and I should have known better but it was too good to stop reading.

more please!

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH YOU HAVE TO FINISH THIS NOW PLEEAAAAAASSSSEEEEEEEEE IM BEGGING!

This is an incredible story. I love every aspect of it. The plot, the setup, the backstory, the dialogue... Everything. I especially love how in character they are. I can totally see this in my mind, no problemo. I really really really wish you would update this, but I totally understand if you're too busy. I will be watching ;)

This story is amazing. It was really late when I started reading this and I told myself I would read some of it, but here I am. It's really really late now and I have this giant hole in my heart where the rest of his story belongs. Please continue it. Im going to follow this story, waiting eagerly for a new chapter of like three years of nothing.

I know it's been a while since you've updated this story, but I have to say, this is beautiful. It's written wonderfully, Arthur and Merlin are in character, and the story, over all, is just absolutely amazing. I hope that someday soon you might continue to write this, as it really is a good story, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to see more of it.

This can't be the end?! Nooooo!

OMG please i need more! so neatly written with a great story line !

So far so good...

I know it has been almost two years but, seriously, don't give up on this story.

This can't be all of it! Please, I'm begging you, write more. I really like the fact that you are focusing on their friendship. But you can't just leave it there; you haven't even really established why Arthur is there, much less how he is supposed to save the realm.

ARGH! Why do I always find awesome stories that haven't been finished! I mean, what can I say? I friggin' love this thing. It's friggin' awesome. The foundation at the start? Perfect. The reunion and slow integration? Perfect. The relationship between Merlin and Arthur and this buildup to Merlin's instability/vulnerability? PERFECT. I'd give just about anything to see this thing finished! I know I'm a little late with this plea, but... please? Pretty, pretty, pretty please? :) more?
