Absolutely delightful. My favourite section is Arthur's 6-year-old POV. It's so perfectly age-appropriate, prattish but also very cute. And I loved seeing Merlin save the day!

This is charming. I loved six year old Arthur making the decision that Merlin was going to be his friend. He was so sure of himself and his ability to get Merlin to be as warm and friendly as with his actual friends, it was funny. The two actually bonding and becoming great friends was a pleasant surprise.

Merlin fleeing and coming back to Arthur when he was needed was nicely written and now they can get on with being together and running the kingdom. It's lovely.
