Haha. Thank you for looking this over for me. Yes, I'm unveiling myself b/c it looks like the fest has been abandoned. If I get in trouble, so be it.

This is so beautiful and full of feeling. I love how much Morgana understands about Merlin and the affection between all of them, and the thought of her coming back to them and starting again really warms my heart.

I'm happy you liked it. I wanted this to be something worth reading, and I wanted it to mean something. I'm so glad it did!

Yes, I've just unveiled myself. I got sick of waiting. :/

I think it's really interesting how you've set up Morgana's emotions here. She's such a passionate person, and I can see her throwing herself wholeheartedly into guilt and needing a sort of catharsis or limits to set herself free from that. The way you describe the delicate balance of relationships in Camelot seems very honest to me, as well as foreboding when it comes to possible futures where that balance might be upset.

Fascinating story, well done!

Thank you so much. I felt her character could have done with a bit more depth in the series, and I wanted to bring that out here. Of all the prompts I was given, this one jumped out at me the most. Then it was just a matter of conveying the image I had in my head in a way that made sense.

I'm glad you liked it!

Oh, I missed this when it was posted originally, but its lovely. It makes me all happy and hopeful about their future (though I must admit I shed a few tears along with Morgana back in the lake) and wee reference to Freya!

Thank you for writing this for me. :)
