Well because I didn't want to say on the same day you got news about yours! Also I'm still wondering if it's actually happening or maybe if I curl up and pretend I don't have to be a grown up it will all go away and I won't have to deal with scary changes :D But I'm writing a post now.

*stern antlers* I refer you to my previous post on friendship working both ways. Hell, at least it means I know there's life after redundancy!

*hugs*

I am planning to move closer to you! If this works out it will shave a whole hour (each way) off my train journeys to glomp you.

Well, see, that made my day a whole lot better! SQUEEEEE!

(Speaking of which, must plan glompage as soon as I get back from Skye. Really missed you at Kitacon. If you have a job you could come to Ayacon! And be Steampunky with us!)

Hi! I'm here again annoying you for the last time (until you publish a new fic and probably I'll come and annoy you again).

I keep thinking about that 'miss the moment and now we're friends' line you have in The Belly of Love story and I see it again here. You know, things like that crawl around my brain and make me stay awake at night asking, "WHY?"

But Merlin is Arthur's property, of course.. despite all the kicking and the screaming and the protests.. and as much as I'm sorry about Gwaine, I think it's all for the best.

I love this story in case it's still not obvious after all the gushing.. ♥

Heee aw, seriously, how can you call wonderful comments annoyance, ficwriters totally live for this! Thank you so much!! Oh, Gwaine, Gwaine. I'm so mean to him all the time. But I think in this one, being with Merlin is really going to change his life for the better. He's such a loner in canon! Remember how he tells Merlin he's his only friend, and by that time he and Merlin had known each other just for a few days. And that's as close as he's got to anyone apparently! Both him and Merlin are kind of insecure and oblivious, and it would take someone as determined and stubborn as Arthur to make them believe that the relationship is going to work and last and not fall apart. And I like to think that after Merlin shown him what it's like to be loved, Gwaine would be ready to open up to other people, and find someone who'd be right for him.

But, yes, damn love triangles :) There needs to be more fics where Gwaine, Merlin and Arthur have an awesome happy threesome relationship together!

Thank you again for reading and commenting, this makes me so happyyy <3
