Oh, hon, this is *wonderful.* I've had it bookmarked since you posted and I'm so happy I finally got to sit down and enjoy it.

I adore protective!Arthur here so much and how he doesn't fight whatever it is that draws him to Merlin. And the tender way he looks after Merlin, in his own slightly awkward, slightly gruff Arthurian manner? LOVE. ♥

Merlin is such a woobie. More ♥!

I also like how there's this lovely, subtle sort of romance going on in this story.

Thanks so much for sharing this!
