It's An End of An Era, Canon, Arthur/Gwen, Merlin, PG,
Joy. If anyone asked Gwen what she remembers most of this momentous day, she would say joy. The joy all over Merlin's face as Arthur made a long awaited announcement. The nervousness on her husband's face as he proclaimed after 20 or so years of living in fear, that magic was allowed. Looks of surprise, awe on the spectators' faces as he made such promises.
But most of all, she remembers the joyous little flutterings and kicks in her stomach. As if the little child knew how important this moment was. And how much was lost to gain it. And for a long time (not since she got married or find out she was with child) Gwen feels a huge surge un-wavering certainty that finally Camelot was once again a beacon of peace and not a place of fear.
Finally Gwen catches her husband's eyes and smiles brightly, which he quickly returns and then she feels Merlin's hand catch hers and knows what he is saying. Though, he has trouble expressing it. That no one, not even Merlin needs to live in fear anymore, fear of being executed for using magic. It's an end of era, its the end of fear. And finally the beginning of an era of peace.
A/N: I hope you like this Piper. Pretty much as soon as I saw this prompt I knew that I wanted to write this. So thanks for a lovely prompt!
Naww thanks Kat! I'm glad you liked the way I wrote Arthur changing the laws against magic. I would love to see something like this to. As well as seeing one of A/G's kid with magic!
Oh, this is wonderful! Beautiful wording you chose and just the whole feeling of change and the start of something new. I love Gwen's thoughts here and I love how you wrote this. I could feel that movement to the future. Lovely.

But I like the idea of Arthur being nervous (I think the crowd would be too), and Gwen and Merlin being sure.

I quite like that line myself.
Well I liked the idea of ending an era and beginning a new one filled with hope than the previous!
And yes, Arthur would be nervous after all it's something that people have been afraid of for many years.
I'm glad you like it!
