I am really proud of this one. It came out so well, and I really have to thank my betas, [profile] reni_m, [personal profile] amphigoury, [profile] gwyntastic, my cheerleader [personal profile] fuzzytomato02, and all the other fabulous folks at gsdmerlin who gave me encouragement even if they had no idea what exactly I was working on. You all rock.

Oh my darling! How utterly awesome! It's all great, of course. Even the books are great! But how wonderful is Gaius...? You've got his face and his hair and his hands and all just spot on. Nicely composed, too, and both of them in such familiar postures.

Two thumbs up, and more if I had them! ♥

Argh! You are terrifyingly talented, you are! That is amazing. Merlin's hands are just - guh. That's just - wow. Wow.

It's so beautiful, cello! I swear you do the best Gaius. I love Merlin in the background with his hand to his head and his pose of one leg tucked under another. It so could be a scene from an ep. It's absolutely perfect. :)
