I love the flashback, it was really sweet. And drunk!Arthur is just brilliant.

I love that her dreams are getting stronger and the way that you've written it really engaged me with the way Gwen was feeling about them. I also like that she's questioning everything now.

At the very least, maybe she can comfort his sleeping soul.
I just love this line. ^_^

Sorry for the late reply, bb, but I'm glad you liked the flashback and drunk!Arthur. And I'm really happy that you're feeling engaged with how Gwen is feeling ♥

And glad you liked that line ♥

Thanks so much for your lovely comment, and the next chapter should be up in a few days! <333

So I actually had a visual/auditory reaction to the semi-introduction of THE QUOTE, and I had no choice but to record my ridiculousness as I simply couldn't find a way to turn my reaction into words (even though my reaction is pretty much the same gibberish as my typed reviews, tbh XD). I'll post my reaction to my journal (heeeeeeeeeeee, just realized it could be a form of advertising for your fic, yes?) because I want to limit the number of people who see me acting like a complete moron. XD ( ... )

Sorry for the late reply, bb, and I've already said it BUT YOUR REACTION WAS LIKE THE BEST THING EVER. AND I WASN'T EXPECTING IT AT ALL SO &gearts; ♥ ♥

Hee, glad you noticed the roses thing :D

And urgh, it was tempting to have Morgana tell her, but Gwen might not understand? And yes, it must be horrible to find your life is a complete lie (and hee, I look forward to writing that angst!)

Glad you liked drunk!Arthur, he was fun to write :D And of couse, glad you like the incorporation of the quote too :D

This review = ♥ ♥ ♥

The next chapter will be up in a few days :D

"I will slay more dragons, win tournaments, bring you flowers, dispose of anyone who is disdainful of you and all sorts of wonderful things that I can’t think of right now."

Drunk and happy Arthur is brilliant. Having that scene opening the chapter has been wonderful. He is happy because he's alive and, honestly, what could be better than that having a dragon around?

And then we have Gwen, talking to him with roses there. Oh, the details ♥ I love how you can find these little things in every chapter that makes the fic even greater. And the flowers are so important for Gwen, is very beautiful having a different flower for every important person in her "past" life.

"She’s sick of waking up unsettled and confused, she’s tired of her mind being besieged like this, but above all, she’s disappointed that none of this is real."This. So much love for this part. We can feel sorry for Gwen because she's tired and the dreams are too much for her in that moment, but at the same time, we can feel her desire. She dreams about being special, ( ... )

Sorry for the late reply, wubby, but so glad you liked this.

Glad you liked drunk!Arthur and the scene with Gwen ♥

She dreams about being special, LOVED. It's not that the life she has right now is a bad one but, it's not hers. She only has to understand that. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who wanted to tell Morgana to tell her already! LOL But it's ok, she can't tell her. Gwen has to find out herself.

Hahah, you're so qood at analysing, I'd think you were a fic writer, yourself!

Thanks so much for your lovely comment as usual! ILU too, wubby!!!

*Hugs*

This is such a gorgeous fic!
I love how much detail you have, and the disjointed dreams she's having are really well written!
