I am really proud of this one. It came out so well, and I really have to thank my betas, reni_m, amphigoury, gwyntastic, my cheerleader 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.

Thank you, tomato! I like Gaius, he's fun to draw. All the wrinkles are so interesting! I fell in love with Merlin's pose when I saw it in one of Gwyn's icons, lol; I asked her if it was a manip (it wasn't) and she pointed me to the episode where she found the screencap. After that it was a matter of beating the composition with a stick made of 3 awesome betas to make it work, lol.
