I really enjoyed this story! Your writing and pacing was so good that I was able to sit back and enjoy the story without worry. I felt like it was the appropriate length and didn't overstay it's welcome. The story itself was well thought out and executed wonderfully! I appreciated the multiples takes on deprivation and loved the characterization of stuffy Stafford. Overall fabulous job and I look forward to reading the sequel!

WOW, THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST FICS I'VE EVER READ! GOOD JOB!

YES, BIG BROTHER LEON! Everyone was so in character! I really appreciate that you DIDN'T make Merlin some stuttery, constantly-crying, helpless soul that I sometimes see in whump fics.

I freakin' loved this chapter so much!

Yes, I'm so excited to read more! So wonderful!

Oooooh, I am PUMPED to read more!

OH, I just realized you were Emachinecat! Hey, one of my favourite Merlin fic authors! I love your work so much, my gosh!

Loved this! I loved that Arthur was on Merlin's side through and through; it made all that whump so much more bearable! Poor Merlin, hopefully everything will be alright now. I can't wait for him to have his revenge!

Cool️

Release the Gaius!

Aaaaahhhhhhh! Excuse my screaming, its just...oh! This is so good but it just hurts and everything is all...argh! *screams at own lack of eloquence*

This is one of my favorite Merlin stories ever. It took me a little bit to read, (darn chores and everything) but I can promise that I was buzzing with anticipation while I did them, knowing i'd get to read this when I was done! Your stories are all incredible. I love them all, and I love your talent.

I already love this.

I just loved this

THAT is binging. 5 seasons in just over a week. Have you heard people saying that 100 episodes a month is binging. Bravo
