It was a scary, scary thing to talk about and you are a very, very brave person to write it and so excellently that I didn't feel manipulated or being worked on even once. The way you present it is so honest and.. I dunno... there. You didn't ask us to choose sides and you didn't force us to judge. And despite my misgivings about Arthur's decisions, I can clearly see that she/he really couldn't have done it any differently. I zonked out thinking about it all the way to work, so it was good that the traffic was okay that day coz I was on autopilot.

Ish very good. I can gush about it more but you'll probably bonk me with a virtual hammer.. LOL

I'm very new to the Merlin fandom... usually I lurk in the jrocker/jpop ones, so I'm still learning about Big Bang (first time I read it, I thought it was a fandom crossover of Merlin and that Korean boy group ^^;;), meme (I still dunno how kinkme_meme is supposed to work)... and other shtuff. There're so many excellent fic to be found in this fandom, it's like opening a present every time I found a rec post. Lovely.
