Thanks! I really wanted to keep Bradley's goofiness and Merlin's spazziness 'cos I love that about them. Writing Bradley and Merlin was so fun, and it made me write faster. Their POVs are just so different than what I usually write. When I write angstier stuff, I tend to write quite slow -- it's almost like a distillation process? Honestly I can't believe I wrote this much. Before this fic, the longest fic I wrote was half this size.
