I think you meant Afghanistan not Iraq. Or you meant 2003 or later, not 2001.

To my fellow fans; this fic is awesome. Read it. The second book sequel to this is even better. Don't, do not, miss it.

English is not my first (not even my second) language so I apologize for any mistakes, but I'm almost half done with all your work and I'm in awe, no other words.

Never ask for forgiveness for a filler chapter as all your write is amazing. All details matters in the complete scheme. I know I'm now reviewing work you've done 7 years ago, and I'm not reading your work in a chronological order but everything is so well done.

I'm terrible at reviewing. I read and read and read and enjoy myself so thoroughly that I completely forget to let you know how you nail it perfectly.

Thank you for these wonderful stories (and fixing so well the flaws of Merlin's show and adding to this universe)

Can I say number one fan? :-)

I don’t usually read modern day AUs but this one was fascinating, especially the character of Merlin and how his (second) childhood affected him. I stayed up all night to finish the story.

What a beautiful story. Familiar yet new, difficult yet delightful. It was round and believable, exciting, moving, sweet, promising. I really, really liked it. Thank you so much!

Great story

I like a concerned, considerate, protective Arthur.

Percocet is an opiate. I was given this after knee surgery. It caused more problems and pain than it solved even in the short term. Motrin is more effective as a pain relever and anti-inflammatory.

I always like Morgana with Merlin. More to iron out between them. But a closer bond in the end because they are closer in age and power. it

I literally ducking lost it at recreating Camelot on minecraft. That is the best element in any modern Merlin fanfic I have ever witnessed, that is all

the astonishment in the fact that Arthur believes him but my heart

I just realized that they are 'from' America in this story but my brain still has their accents

cant wait for more!

oh my gawd thank you for the translation to the arthur alien language they used in texting. i was like "a fuck it, ill just skip this".

I loved this so much! I couldn't put it down, and now I'm going straight to the sequel!
So much for sleeping tonight \_(ツ)_/
