Lunchee podficced the story in two different versions[3], one hard n' fast, the other soft n' slow. When Merlin casts a spell Lunchee uses special sound effects and it's very easy to pick up in both versions what Arthur is saying under the influence of the truth spell vs the narrative of the story because Arthur's confessions have a much faster tempo of speech. Both interpretations are available at the Audiofic Archive.
Reviews and Reactions
Truth serum trope-y goodness. I love Arthur’s stream of consciousness ramblings how it jumped from what was going on in the moment to just some random sex thing he wondered about Merlin. So funny.[4]
I really enjoyed this fic! I’m always a sucker for truth spell fics and this one was done wonderfully! Merlin’s reaction to Arthur’s enchantment was great, and Arthur’s stream of consciousness was both funny and served to give a nice insight into how he really felt. Lovely![5]
