This was great. Loved how he recognized Uther in Arthur and yet saw more than Uther could ever be. Loved how he was thinking about fathers and sons. I could almost feel the longing when he thought about Ealdor and all he had missed.

Well done.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I wanted to explore what an intense moment it must have been for Merlin--to suddenly find a father, and yet to maintain his love and loyalty to Arthur.

Thanks for reading and commenting!

Oh, that was lovely - Merlin's longing for a father to teach him, for that bond; for recognizing the common ground he shared with Arthur in knowing only one parent.

And I love how you showed that Merlin stands with Arthur despite Uther and what he had done to Balinor; that Arthur is not his father.

Another perfect missing scene - thanks for sharing!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Those were exactly the issues I wanted to explore *g*--Merlin's and love and loyalty to Arthur seems so intense to me, in the wake of everything he's found out about Uther this season....

Thanks for reading and commenting!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I also liked the episode a lot--but wanted to explore what an intense moment it must have been for Merlin--learning about what had happened to his father at Uther's hands.

And yeah, it would have been wonderful to have Balinor around for longer--what an interesting relationship....sigh....

Thanks for reading and commenting!

This is just lovely. Very, very new to Merlin, but I thoroughly enjoyed this and have been looking for a coda just like this after the last episode. Thank you.

Hi! *waves* Welcome to Merlin! Does this mean we might have Merlin fic from you some day? I love your SPN fic!

I'm so glad you enjoyed this--thanks for reading a commenting!

*smiles* Thanks for the nice words about my SPN stories... am finishing up a longish one hopefully today! I'm tempted by Merlin but haven't found many gen stories at all, so I'm not sure if there's an audience. Loved yours though! :) Friended you back...

am finishing up a longish one
yay!!

haven't found many gen stories at all, so I'm not sure if there's an audience.
There's always an audience for good fic! (I posted a long SPN/Merlin xover that was VERY gen, and a fair number of people read it--by my standards, anyway, lol)
*encourages you*
