Mmmmmm, very nice. I like that it's not an action that your ficlet describes, but an idea, and Nimueh's is such a rare POV.

Thank you - you've managed to give me a new perspective on my fic again. But you're right of course - it is an idea.

I don't think I could write anything longer than this from Nimueh's POV - she's hard to get a handle on.

edited for embarrassing typo, sigh

Oh, I make lots of those, don't worry. I reviewed someone's 'fic' when it was, in fact, a very gorgeous pic. *headdesk*

I suppose Nimueh is so difficult because 1) she's rarely onscreen and 2) she's the bad guy. I liked the depth they gave her in The Black Knight, but it doesn't really make her more likeable.

I like this. The ideas about Uther and the forging of evil, and the idea of Nimueh and Merlin being two sides of a coin, as well.

Thank you very much - I'm glad you liked it. Nimueh and Merlin are an interesting comparison for me, and I liked the idea that Uther had created evil trying to suppress it.

That is a mightily appropriate icon! Thank you very much - I'm glad you enjoyed it.

This is excellent! It's always a pleasure to find more Nimueh fics. I liked her VERY much in the series, so much more than Morgause. I still hold out hope that she'll come back.

Oh wow - thank you very much. I found Nimueh POV difficult to write so it is extremely nice to know that you liked it.
