Fantastic! I wouldn't have thought it was possibly to salvage an OT4 from the start of Season 3, but you've taken the destiny themes and legends head-on. I love Gwen offering to be their moral compass, Morgana rescuing her, and the internal struggle they all go through.

I liked how well they seemed to work together. Also loved the worry that Merlin had about destiny. Good job.

I always love them as elemental powers, I love the Fifth Element reference, I love their web of connections. And Gwen grabbing up the sword! I wonder now why I haven't seen any fic before that looks at the problems Morgana would have if she came back to Arthur/Gwen/Merlin's side after her association with Morgause. This story was a wonderful experience, and I should admit I had chills by the end! :D

This is absolutely lovely! I love how it takes the Arthurian themes AND S3 and somehow puts it all back together. Beautifully executed!

Oh, I can totally see the Fifth Element influences! Very epic, great imagery. This deserves fanart big time.

A big part of me still clings to OT4 first and foremost, and I loved seeing how they worked their way to a reconciliation here. It was great how you made it a matter of both taking a leap of faith and earning back trust, instead of just one or the other.
