I’m sorry; I seem to be stalking you these last few days (weeks?). I’m not out to spam your inbox, I swear…! Just want to leave you some of that feedback you asked for, which you richly deserve for posting this dear fic up. Oh and before I forget: Thanks for reading this, I know RL keeps you hard at it *bangs table* Now, brace yourself. Hee *winks*
Merlin was teaching her something "simple." He kept saying that word as he demonstrated effortlessly, as though by saying it more frequently, it would suddenly become true. She resented her steep learning curve in a way that made her feel uncomfortably inadequate.
Oooh…. *tut tut* Her pride is rearing its ugly head. I’m glad that you’re acknowledging this attribute of hers here, albeit quite subtly. I mean, what would you expect from a noblewoman anyways? Merlin’s social class isn’t helping matters, although, poor guy can’t help it can he.
Morgana let her mind, and eyes, wander.
*huminahuminahumina* Don’t get me started on the yumminess that is Colin Morgan...! I don’t ( ... )

He’s turned her from a blue-blooded lady to a red-blooded woman without even trying anything. But by just being.This is exactly why they would work, I think. You touch on it a few more times in your comments, but I'll make my response to it here. Merlin has no sense when it comes to proper court behaviour - and probably doesn't really give a hoot outside of what keeps him from being killed. That would be incredibly appealing to Morgana, who I think has certain reservations about the entire court pomp and circumstance to begin with. Merlin is also a good person: he's helped Morgana, and those Morgana cares for on numerous occassions without blinking an eye or offering reason. She knows there is a certain unbalance within her; Merlin is, she thinks, almost entirely steady. When it comes to his desire, it's not tainted by want of power (he's already more powerful than any ( ... )

6) He chuckled. Her frown deepened.
*howls with laughter* I can only imagine *cups mouth* how this embarrassing scene must have played out in public, in Uther’s court, with aristocrats and landed gentry present as well.
I guess this is as close as Merlin and Morgana are gonna get to openly revealing their love affair, hm? Awh, and Merlin gets rewarded for his pains *chuckles & grins*
7) She was soft when she tasted like wine.
I LOVE this snippet into their more intimate moments, when she’s tipsy and he’s (almost) not taking advantage of her. Srsly, this was heartwarming.
Not Morgana, though. She shouldn’t have used her drunkenness as an excuse to bring her ‘defences’ down around him. She could be a lightweight, but she should still be aware of what she’s doing, what they’re doing… *shakes her head*
Merlin’s a sweetheart, though. I hope she knows that, too. It seems that she does.
8) The crack of the branch breaking across Merlin's skull sounded across the glen.
Oh noes, poor guy!

However, the fic where they are arguing, Morgana doesn't resist his kiss because she's trying to protect herself; she's resisting because she is bloody pissed off, and then hurt that he would think she wouldn't care. (Which, he actually knows she would care, but he honestly believed he was in no danger in this instance, so he's touched that even in some inconsequential tussel, she was still worried). So Morgana doesn't want to kiss him, she simultaneously wants to hurl him out the window for being so foolish, and lock him in a room to keep him from danger. But underneath all that is just incredible relief that he is all right, so how can she resist his mouth for long when she's that relieved ( ... )
