omg whatever, I love to wordvomit about Will and it's sad that no one else seems to want to. Will!
Haha, I was so glad reading your story, because I'm writing something (which is up to like god 25K at this point in like four days, and I SWORE I wouldn't join another fandom) and Will was such a hilarious douche so I figured, whatever it's AU, I'm writing him out of character and then realized whilst reading this that, oh yeah, it's a canon "troublemaker" and kind of a douche if you don't read all the SUBTEXT in the episode.
I have like subtext goggles, so I just didn't think about people not reading them.
(and by subtext I don't mean the like secret UST that will never show up on the show, but like actual 'hey Will has good reasons and is truly a good person/friend, also he's kind of right! the last bit occasionally happens when Uther talks and I go, ohgod when I agree with him)
I will for sure check out those recs when I get back from vacation. Will/Gwen sounds really interesting. I think there's a story on big bang that's supposed to be like ALL WILL so I need to check that out too. So many fics to read, man.
The dad's death scene was my favorite part of the fic to write, so I'm XD that you like it too. thanks.
It really touched on a sort of real grief that was more understated and less, Merlin yelling up into the sky like Anakin Skywalker at Gaius who's not actually dead, sort of thing.
I'm going to friend you now, because I have no Merlin friends, just thought I'd let you know! I also have to read the rest of your stuff, I think I skimmed stuff when I was still convincing myself I wasn't going to throw myself headfirst into a fandom made of crack.
