Wow. This was fantastic lucky. I'm so glad I requested Merlin from you because you write it beautifully. :)

The first section with Gwen was so well done. I love how you used the legend but didn't use the legend if that makes sense. Your voice for Gwen is excellent. She's always struck me as the wisest of the group, and the section about a woman knowing herself and keeping secrets feels so much like her.

Your Morgana was fantastic. She was almost my favorite part of the story. I think your characterization is better than the show's.I've always felt like the things she saw would push her over the edge, and you captured that perfectly. Oh, and thank you for throwing in a hint of Uther/Morgana. I love that dynamic.

The Merlin/Gwen moment at the end was so sweet, and so them. I always hoped Gwen would be the first to figure out Merlin's secret because it would bond them in a way.

Thank you for writing this lucky. And I'm sorry, but now I have to harass you for more. I would love a Morgana fic from you. That would make my year :)

I'm so glad you liked it! I'm nervous about writing Merlin because I've only seen the first season and clips from season two.

Gwen is pretty wise, but still sweet. Living in Camelot I think you have to be pretty wise and world weary. What's nice about Gwen is that she's not jaded where another person in her position might be.

I find Uther/Morgana strangely intriguing. She would make an awesome queen to his king. I feel like if Morgana was queen. We'd remember him instead of his son.

I like the idea of writing Morgana. Hopefulluy, it won't take me as long to write it ;)

I really hope there will be more from you in this fandom. This was wonderful to read. I saw everything as if I were watching an episode and watching the actors say your words. So great! Thank you!

Heya! Thanks for reading. I'm glad you liked it. Merlin is one of those fandoms I'm scared of writing in for some reason, but I want to challenge myself, so it's likely I'll write another fic. Thanks again :)
