OMG OMG OMG, YOU. WE'RE ALL AWAY DOING SEASON-Y THINGS BUT KNOW THAT JUST SEEING THIS MAKES ME GO "TEEE" A LOT. NO, REALLY, I SHOULD RECORD IT, IT'S ALSMOST MUSICAL.

It goes:
*read summary*
TEEEEEEEE!!!! MIDWINTER. BIRTHDAYS. MERLIN. OMG THIS IS PERFECTLY TAILORMADE FOR ME AND LOOKS SPLENDID ALREADY.

*reads authors note*
Hahahahaahhaaa I LOVE YOU. *bearhugs*

*scrolls quick because the family's arrived already*
GAIUS KNOWS TALES AND WANTS TO PROTECT MERLIN.
CLOAK :D
INTRIGUE TEEE :D
HUNIIIIIIITH. OMGOMG.

I'm going to craddle and squeeze this huge, awesome story and bring her with me to the party, find a silent corner, probably with a kitty, and read while making TEEE sounds every other minutes. My cheeks already strain from smiling so much. YOU ARE GOING TO SPRAIN MY FACE. <3

Thank you thank you thank you, dear anon author, and to all your team of beta and helpers who all faithfully never gave you away! Or I'm just dense! But it's so cool and shiny and s;fkjdgsflghkhgdkghgs ( ... )

Did I mention I was going to spam you with my reaction post to this? This is epic and fantastic. *___*

---------
Morgana's powers being a song, not a nightmare! That's so nice and sweet.

Gwen and Morgana being chipper and talky of everything going on in the castle! Gwen being practical and efficient-minded! Planned co-gift for Merlin! (THANK YOU FOR THAT GWEN AND HUNITH IN THE FORGE) There's so much light and soft sounds in this bit. ^____^

Arthur being a prat because he cares but is backwards about it!

Keys to Morgana! Did she send the ladies after Arthur last year on purpose? :D

ARTHUR IS SO CUTE ABOUT HUNITH. LSKDJKDGDHG and Merlin. Oh, that boy.

I REALLY REALLY LOVE HOW MANY SUPERSTITIONS, CHARMS AND GENERAL BELIEFS-RELATED HABITS ARE EVERYWHERE AND WITH EVERYONE.

SHENANIGANS AROUND THE CASTLE.

More sounds! I love your sounds.

Gwen has connections! TEE-ING A LOT.

"Okay." Gwen smiled and pressed Morgana's hand between her own, but she didn't kiss back because they were in front of the other ( ... )

I'm making my way through this slowly because of too many other holiday distractions, but wow, this fic is really fantastic so far. I love the balance between the characters and all their voices being so distinct and so them. Also, as yue_ix said, all the mentions of charms and traditions and beliefs, they just make this fic and the world in it feel much more real than what we see on the show. Mystery author you are made of awesome!
