This is amazing!!!! I just want to look at it all day and think of the story it tells.
Merlin's eyes look so tired and hurt and yet there's so much gentleness in this drawing! This art does so much to me. It's perfect.

This is truly beautiful; the pose is gorgeous. I do feel sorry for Merlin, but Arthur looks as tough he's taking care of him so I'm happy again. Bookmarking this to look at again and again:)

Arthur made it better! :) Thank you.

These are so gorgeous!

I love Arthur's pose and expression - almost reverently taking care of and soothing Merlin. Plus I have a thing for his arm ;)

Merlin's tired eyes and the different coloring in his bruises and scars show just how much he's been through and how long he's been going through it.

Wonderful job ♥

Holy shit, this is utterly gorgeous!

Merlin's face is captivating, the pain and tiredness in his eyes is so real it hurts! And the love and tenderness in Arthur is touching. The way his caressing Merlin is so beautiful it makes my heart ache for them.

And it's not just how expressive their faces are, it's also their bodies, their perfectly draw and show those same emotions I was talking about before. Stunning, girl, stunning!

I want to point out how much I love, Arthur's back, chest and arms, AMAZING! And well their hands are something else.

I loved this.

Gracias Lady!

Oh wow. I love how blank and withdrawn Merlin's expression is at the same time as he's holding Arthur's hand. And Arthur's hand on Merlin's cheek is just....this is hitting me in the best ways. Adding it to my recs post.

Wow! Thank you so much! :)

Ahh, this is really lovely. Merlin's eyes, the little frown, spot on.
