sad heartbreaking but i loved it so much great job

Great story. Very angsty. Arthur was really in character, He will definitely keep living for merlin sake. Merlin had change him so much and shape him into a great king

Sad! I’m so glad you wrote it and your beta is absolutely write that you just have to post things this wonderful but SAD! *Hugs you* I hope Valentine’s Day wasn’t so sad for you! And *blushes* anything written with me in mind I’m going to love, you have to know that by now right? *glomps you*

‘That one memory I long for so much will never be granted to me and that shatters all that remains of my heart’ – so very, very gorgeous, how can you not see all that formidable talent you possess in those smart little fingers of yours?

Not to mention how incredibly deep this was – you managed to be so concise and succinct and wonderfully poetic with such meaningful topics like death and suffering: ‘could I be selfish enough to bring back his pain, just so that I could see his face?’ – you managed to find the crux of grieving right there, especially when those we love die slowly enough for us to be able to grasp what’s happening before they leave us and we can either accept what time they have left or rage against the unfairness of it. Your Arthur is wonderfully selfless (you based him on yourself right? *hugs you* ) and as sad as it is, this really is something that needed to be written I think - (and I’m sure we’ll both manage to write enough fluff to make up for any sadness anyway -)

And sorry I didn’t review for so (very very) long, I read it within a day of you uploading it and my merlin fic (the one that’s not so happy that I still haven’t edited *sighs*) I think stemmed a little from this... perhaps I should make the end fluffier to cheer us both up a bit huh

You do know you are utterly awesome right? *hugs omouto-chan tight and never lets go... so there *

Have fun and keep writing! Especially merlin, you’re so very good at it (and I have the cutest image of chibi Merlin and Arthur that I don’t think is going to leave my head until I do something with it ) – have fun! And thanks for your utter brilliance - *huggles!*

This was beautiful. I had tears in my eyes as I read it. Poor Arthur. I'm glad you decided to share this story. Thank you.

Don't worry, I killed Merlin too...

I still love this, don't worry.

Write again soon.

Ari
