This was absolutely marvelous. One of the best Arthur characterizations I've read in this fandom yet. I'm wowed by overall characterization, too, and the pacing and flow of the story, but the honest intensity of Arthur's emotions as they play out is really what grabbed me. Um. Steamy scene is steamy, but I dig that you didn't have them boff like bunnies immediately after all. *noms on delicious UST*

I may adopt this scenario as headcanon until they start up new episodes. It's that awesome, for serious. :D Also, I don't know if you're even thinking of writing more in this verse, but if you did, I know I'd be all over that Gwaine at an open bar. XD
