wow. that was some powerful writing.
I keep reading it as an aftermath of 1x13, is that what you intended?
anyhoo, beautiful job.

[b_hallward]

Thank you! And yeah it's definitely set after 1x13, in part because that episode changes Merlin so much.

That was brilliant

[b_hallward]

Thank you!

The gap between what Merlin should be and what he is stretches uncomfortably wide.

I loved this experiment. I was so interesting to see how it changed at the different lengths, while at the same time remaining essentially the same.

Thank you! I'm always oddly fascinated by how few words it really takes, how length does and doesn't affect the stories you can tell.

this was beautiful.

[b_hallward]

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked this.

Loved these. I especially liked that the first and the last echo each other. Well done.

Thank you! I'm glad (and relieved) that the repetition worked.
