eeee! you updated! THIS. FIC. (well. both. rapture and virtue) so emotional. and painfully beautiful. and the weird thing is i was just thinking about this when i saw that you had updated. made me happy :) so brilliant. i love the subtleties such as His servant hesitated, but his friend nodded in reluctant agreement the quiet distinctions you make (you did this before with 'the king' and 'his father') are fantastic. and the irrational fear arthur has of merlin and fire and their conversation at the end and just... so so much that i love about this (i am so sorry about the lack of coherence. i blame you and your fantastic writing.)
