This was all I know I was looking for with Morgana. This is gorgeously done; thank you!

[rosemaryandrue]

Thank you. I wanted to give her back some power and control.

[someplacetobe]

And you did it so splendidly; thank you for writing this!

Oh, loved that Morgana was insane for a time and let Nimueh use her/teach her more and more. Loved that she bound Nimueh up in flames. Loved that she finally figured out what she wanted for her own destiny. Great job.

I wanted to give her back some power and agency, and isolating her from the mess that is Camelot was too interesting to resist, especially when I saw my recipient's prompts. I wanted it to be a slow and lonely process, because we're not likely to get that on the show.

[rosemaryandrue]

Thank you. I wanted to take her out of Camelot and let her work through her grievances and take control of her own life. Sadly, I don't think that she'll get that chance on the show.

Oh my god! This is wonderful, I was hooked from beginning to end. Morgana learning and acting and making her own decisions, god yes. Please write S4. ♥

[rosemaryandrue]

*smiles* Thank you. I just wanted to give her control of her own life for once.

Fantastically original take in a fandom inundated with a lot of repetitious plots.

Sparse but stunning.

Thank you. It was one of those stories that just grabbed me and demanded to be told.
