Have I mentioned how much I loved this? You manage such moving, yet emotionally real stories without rambling. Nor do you go overboard with angst or soppy moments. It feels poignant because the moments are true to life. I can imagine it happening.

I can feel the future in this, of Arthur's people truly loving him. You had the serious/banter patter between Merlin and Arthur spot on.

I can't begin to tell you how much I want a story like this in canon. PLEASE BBC!!!
