Also, a joust is a competition, the weapon used is called a lance.

What language are you using for the spells? The show uses Old English.

Finally! Something that brings out the bonds between best friends and not turning every friendship into songs of love! (I have nothing against slash or anything but it gets annoying after a while when people turn simple friendship into lemons and smut!) I loved this, I came back 4 times to re-read this, and this brings a smile every time! Thank you for writing this story! No offense to anyone out there.

Oh my goodness, that was amazing! This story was so well-written! Thank you so much for sharing it.

3 Great plot! Loved the premise!

This was the best story I've read 6aZ

I really, really, really, really, really love this story I would really like to see a sequel!

The bromance is delicious.

*smiles* I didn't do that...

Merlin's anger at Arthur for framing Cirion is correct. Unlike the episode Witch Finder in which Merlin did the same and then he and Gaius laughed about it later.

Great story! And I absolutely love when authors don't waste valuable writing time playing with Old English translators and give me more wonderful plot and banter! "Lorem ipsumlevari."

Wonderful! Thanks so much for creating this!

Great story. I love the "ignore my impending temper tantrum". I also love the "Lorem ipsum" spell... Your creation of a story is far more important to me than your ability to fiddle around with an online old English translator!

I loved this story and thought the idea behind it was brilliant. I adore the banter and brotherliness between the two and wish there was more of it to read. It's been one of my favourites for a long time and I can't believe it hasn't had more reviews. Loved it :)

Oh my god. This is phenomenal. The characterization is perfect, the plot is fascinating, the villain is unique, and to top it all off it is beautifully written. The reveal to Arthur is almost exactly what I thought would happen in the series when I first started watching- Merlin's magic would be secret for awhile but after some crazy situation in which he reveals it to save Arthur's life, it becomes a shared secret between him and Arthur. I really loved the idea of a magical bond, and the way you described it made it seem not only believable, but completely right for the two of them. Thank you so much!
