Ok... So I've bit the cuticle around my nails until I bled, I've cried, I've laughed, I've smiled content. As far as I'm concerned this is canon. And this could and should be the season 5 finale. And the time jump... The season 6 premiere. Just saying. If I could I would send this to the writers. Because really... You did everything right.

Ah, sorry about that! I'm glad you enjoyed the intended variety of emotions though. It was such a heavy fic at times it was important to me to balance it out with lightness and fun.

That's very kind. I just tried to write something inspired by the picture and by my favorite elements of the show. It's all really inspiring.

Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments! I enjoyed and appreciated them greatly! I should be back with a 'Shatter' update sometime soon. :)

Thanks so much Piper for all your help! I appreciate it so much and it was wonderful having you as my beta!

That's so cool to me that you like the action scenes because they're definitely a challenge, but I also love writing them. I think the hardest thing for me sometimes is getting in description and keeping up the flow. I don't really try to be lyrical, but I love music/poetry and so I guess that influences me when I write.

I love your style and yes we do have different styles. I love your flow in fics.

Thanks so much again Piper!!

OMG this fic was just amazing!

I think its my favourite one written by you to date. I just loved the plot, the way you wrote the characters and the relationships. You handled the magic reveal really well and I enjoyed the ending so very much! Especially seeing little Aneurin and Gwen with another one on the way. I cheered when Arthur made Merlin Court Sorcerer and giggled so much at the outfit Arthur wanted him to wear.

I especially think your characterization of Morgana and Mordred were spot on. I especially liked the little grey you added to Morgana (which I think the show has failed at) where its clear that Morgana still cares for Arthur and Gwen deep, deep down but I think her hatred has consumed her.

Thanks so much for writing us such an amazing fic! You should be proud of it <3333!

Ah, to hear it could be your favorite of what I've written so far, that's so nice. This was such a great challenge for me. I had my moments where I didn't know if it was working well enough and it was hard sometimes to finish even. The art was so inspiring though and it helped me center things. Piper's wonderful beta also

God I just agree with everything you have said about everything especially in regards with Morgana. Katie has said that she isn't a one-sided villan, the problem is that while she tries her best sometimes it does come across that way. But that isn't her fault, rather the writers/producers fault. Which is why I'm hoping for Mordred to return in series 5 because I would love to see how their alliance would work. But I have a feeling you're right and Mordred would have the upper hand.

And sorry for all my comments! I felt it was easier to comment as I go!

I personally think Angel is a stronger actress than Katie. But the moments she's been allowed to show wider range, Katie's really good. And Morgana's more interesting to me then too.

I definitely hope Mordred comes back for season five.

Please don't apologize! I loved getting to read your comments. It was so nice of you to leave them as you you were reading. I appreciate it greatly. :)

Loved this story, but I love all your work. The writers of Merlin could learn a thing or two from you.

Thank you so much! :)
