I like what you did with the episode. I hope the next update won't take too long.

Loved it! I love it when Arthur *thinks*-as you have him doing here- instead of just reacting to situations with force. And I love that Merlin is actually getting some compassion from him and from everyone instead of the whole situation just being played for laughs. I know, I know. Family show. They always say that the darker they'll go, the funnier they'll go just to keep it from getting too much for the kids. But...this feels more genuine to me, you know? So thanks for writing it!

Yes! Already a new chapter! It was great! I'm glad to see that here Arthur is smart enough to understand Agravaine is the traitor! I'm even hoping he had followed his uncle... I'll see if I am right next chapter. Can't wait for it!

I'm short on time so I can't write a real long review but I really enjoyed this chapter! :D

I'm actually enjoying this more then the actual episode. I like that Arthur is actually aware of what is going on and is not completely oblivious to everything. :D

"You just plan to keep cutting him open?"

Ew. That's disgusting. I would hate to be Merlin right now. :p

Can't wait for the next chapter! :D

Great AU! That's a nice twist in it. Do update soon!

Very nice. I loved the original episode, but this is like a whole new one, and I love it too!

Thoroughly interesting. I've always wondered a bit about that episode. Merlin's a powerful warlock, and yet he runs into a pole when trying to kill Arthur? Seems he would be a bit more competent than that. I like the idea of him fighting, and like reading it even more.

Update soon! I eagerly await what trouble Arthur is going to get himself into.

Thanks for posting!

Oh Agravaine... What a creeper. Seriously, his whole "in love with Morgana" thing is weird. She's half his age... I guess that was fairly common then, but still it is weird. Also, he's a moron. I hope Arthur finds him after he saves Merlin. Update soon!

Interesting, even without a lot of action. I'm looking forward to the next chapter

Great chapter!

Argh, why is Morgana so evil! She was nice . . . *sniff*

I did get a lottlebored at one point but overall good. Poor Arty. The worldhates him.

Oh man, I am absolutely loving this. :D When will you update next? I'm so excited. haha _
You're writing everyone in character so well (as always). I love it!

Really like the spin of this story from the episode,,although if Arthur suspected Agravaine, would he have been a little more careful about his plans to send the patrols out towards Morganna?

Is Morganna really willing to give up the fomorrah quite so easily or does she have another plan?
Will the fomorrah take over Merlin's magic? (that would be very bad)...will Aggravaine attempt to kill Merlin while restrained, or cut him free and send him after Arthur again? So many possibilities, lol

i really liked this chapter! YAY! i love how everyone knows (well...the important ppl) about the fomorrah! very awesome! i also LOVE how arthur's beginning to see that aggravaine is actually the traitor and not gaius! i bet aggravaine was meant to hear those knights talking! :D i also loved gwen and gwaine's roles! XD is this going to be a reveal fic?

PLEASE update soon! its soo good!
