Eeeek, that was really hot but SO WRONG! :P

I know how very much [livejournal.com profile] babydracky loves Mordred (and I'm pretty sure she'll love this story) but... but... NO, Arthur/Mordred is just wrong on so many levels! D: WHAT DID HE DO TO POOR ARTHUR???

And Merlin only showed up in Arthur's dream and he knew what Mordred did with Arthur and, oh dear, that's all so sad. *sniffles*

Don't get me wrong, this is a wonderful story, brilliantly written (as always, your writing is such a delight) but... I have to admit that I wasn't able to fully enjoy it. Although caring!Guinivere was very sweet in the end it would've been nicer (at least for me, the hopeless romantic) to see Merlin coming back to Camelot.

Also I'm damn curious why he left Arthur and Camelot in the first place and when he'll be back where he belongs.

Oh Arthur... ❤


Thank you for writing and sharing this story, sweetie. ❤ I'm sure our friend'll be absurdly satisfied with this. :D
I'll have to go back and read Twelve Virtues, I'm in need of some hot Pendragoncest to mend my broken heart now. And yes, I'm just so weird! :P

[livejournal.com profile] babydracky did love it *blush*
I can't help loving Mordred, he is a so heartbreaking character. And I so understand him for trying to find comfort with Arthur *iz daydreaming*

*BisousBisous*
(You still like me, don't you? ToT)

Oh sweetie, how on earth could I NOT like you???? You're one of the loveliest persons I ever had the pleasure to meet, I could never stop loving you! Even if your Mordred is going to kill my Arthur one day. *heavy sigh*

And at least I have to admit that Mordred's way of seducing Arthur was damn hot. Oh, the naughty little druidboy... *grrr* :D

Awwww!
*cuddles*
Thank you, hon! You're too good to me.
I am still loved!♥♥♥ *hugs you tight*

Well... What can I say? I know Mordred will be the doom of Arthur (hey! nobody said he'd kill Arthur OO) but I do think that he'd try hard to avoid his destiny, try to be the son Arthur could have been proud of. Mordred is a good person, Destiny just chose him for a great but tragic path.

And yeah ÖÖ
We had a really naughty "little" druidboy. But, hey, can we blame him? Really? You're talking about Arthur here! I'd have been the first to jump him in this forest! :p:p:p

Oh dear! Obviously my writerly powers are failing me lately... :-) I wonder if I'll manage to convince anyone at all that this wasn't actually 'SO WRONG!'...? Probably not! But then I do think our shiny new Merlin universe is playing with the notion of destiny, and the dragon's warnings about Mordred (if he's even telling the truth anyway) can be considered as open to interpretation. The thing I love about the Arthurian universe is that it's mostly about wonderful people who try so very hard to do the right and noble thing, but end up failing to one extent or another. BabyD made me see that that also applies to Mordred.

OK, I shall quit pontificating now! :-)

Thank you for your comment, hon. I'm glad to know you found it hot even though it was SO WRONG. :-D And I'm glad you liked Gwen. Yes, I thought the Merlin side of this did belong in a separate story, if anywhere (I don't intend to write it). I thought it better to leave Arthur a bit confused and not really knowing what's going on. Sorry that just adds to the heartbreak!

Hurrah for Pendragoncest! I hope that made you feel better, my sweet. I love your Arthur so much, and I love you that much, too. ♥♥♥
