!! Wow! I love this to little, teeny tiny bits of pieces. I really adore how you've adapted Merlin's story and characters into the modern, Holmesian world, with Arthur the head of a mega corp and Merlin hiding his "true nature" of actually being, you know, genius. The pieces of their past are really heartbreaking considering where they ended up--estranged--and still so adorable. Love the murder game.

Arthur and Lance being so scared before telling Merlin--perfectly done. Arthur is wonderful. I'm just going to keep spilling adoration for this fic all over this comment, okay? Cause it's great.

Last line is a killer, and I love how it sounds both so sad, and so bittersweetly fond. Thanks for writing!
