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

Ma petite puce!! ÖÖ

Thank you so much for that beautiful story! I so like it. It is so beautiful, tender and "wrong" in the only heartbreaking way Mordred can be.
I know Mordred can be/looks wrong but with reasons and because, like anyone, he needs to feel loved and comforted.

I love how Arthur would do anything to fing Merlin, how he knows what is happening between Guinevere and Lancelot but being kind and generous about it. It is the only I could agree with their relationship.
Your Guinevere was lovely, especially at the end. She is a really good friend to Arthur and he needs a Queen who will be here for him, supporting him.

Mordred was beautiful, puce.
I really like how you wrote him. You definitely made him justice.
And I like the twisted way things have to be between Arthur and Mordred. Mordred did sound honest with Arthur and, he, he would have believe him and try to make Mordred's doom not happening. Sad, Merlin has his way to feel/know/foresee and thinks/knows Arthur should stay away from Mordred.
It certainly was a mistake when, we, readers read it but you actually knows?

I just feel so bad for Arthur for subduing to Mordred because he needed the comfort and then not being sure anymore that he is that wonderful, pure and kind-hearted king.
And then for Mordred because, once again, he was left behing TOT *pets her Mordred*

I wish we know why Merlin got away and how he'll come back. But this is another story! ;)


You definitely wrote a so beautiful text, ma puce, and I really don't know how I could ever thank you properly. You made me so happy♥♥♥
♥Love you♥
