Wheeee! For me? *dances* I loved this story, thank you so much, sweetie! *hugs*
Don't tell Accioslash, but I am a HUGE fan of Merlin (the real legend). I even took s course on Arthurian Literature in college and it was fascinating. Your story reminds me of some of the texts we reviewed. You somehow managed to infuse a very authentic sense of the Arthurian age, ad your descriptions were really well done. :)
Your Merlin rocked, btw! Ever changing, ever evolving, he was a lot of fun.
The magic theory was fascinating, and I enjoyed what you did with the ruby. Perhaps one of their kids will find it...
And then there is the SNARRY SEX! Mmmmmm. Delicious UST, scrumptious first time sex (outdoors! during a magical ritual!) and protective!Snape is a perennial favorite of mine, although it was nice to see that Harry had no problem taking care of Severus when he had to. *licks* Also, cheerful!Harry is so much fun, bless him.
Thank you so much! I've been having a crappy week, so this was a lovely break in my routine. *hugs you again* ♥
