I absolutely loved this ! The whole Merlin and Morgana interaction was amazing and quite believable as it would take both of them to know each other well enough to trust each other to learn magic, and by default of that by Gwen finding out by being with Morgana also makes sense and her being so accepting of it as to her being his best friend is also a stroke of genius.

But your Arthur in this was so heartbreakingly sweet and muddled yet also hopeful that he could finally have what he wanted and then worried that again his sister had beaten him to something he just wanted for himself. The way you voiced his jealousy of her being able to be and do so many things without a thought rings so true to this Arthur from the show and it only further shows how well you know this character and how well you write him :) And the kissing at the end was phenomenal lol Was a puddle of goo at the end of it.

Sorry about the long winded reply, but I adored this and along with all your other fic as well you are becoming my favorite author of Arthur and Merlin fanfics lol

Btw, how is your other fic regarding the junkie Merlin coming along ?

I'm glad you liked the Merlin-Morgana interaction. It was a bit tough, with their personalities and ranks and whatnot to take into account, so I'm glad it came across well. (Even Gwen!)

And as for Arthur - writing out his emotions without actually having his POV was bitch to write, so I'm glad you liked it. And yay for puddle of good!

As for Euphoria (junkie!Merlin fic) it's coming along well. I've got most of the next chapter written out on paper somewhere, so as soon as I find it, I'll type it up and send it off to my beta (assuming she's not MIA by that point).
