Well written, I'll admit to that. Funny moments. Characterisations mostly good. Canon.
But.
Still.
The pace is very slow, dragging really. The best way to describe the plot, IMO, would be:
"Merlin's internal and external whiny, self-indulgent and often downright childish and defiant musings and behaviour."Believe me, there are many, many musings that couldn't get more boring if one tried.
I'm sure I could'come up with one for Arthur's possessive, competitive and stubborn behaviour as well.
But really, Gwaine was the only character I really, truly felt for. Never have I ever read a merthur fic, in which I (very) actively rooted for them
not to end up with each other. Srsly. Something there went quite wrong for me.
