Oh fabyenn, you have such a beautiful unique style of writing. It is so soft in emotion, so calm that you feel what the characters are experiencing in such a realistic way. I love too that you deal with all the issues of medieval time and that the show sometimes touches upon, how Gwen and Merlin were commoners and such, and that the nobility would look upon them in a certain way

Detailed feedback, yay!

That is praise of the highest order, which I gladly accept :).

I figured Arthur being Regent might change some things, but the nobility would take longer to adjust. I'm happy that rang true to you.

I love how you turned Arthur fully into a leader. He's still spontaneous, but as we've seen with the series he increasingly keeps his emotions in check and becomes stronger of mind. You showed that so wonderfully...and I love the backstory of how he has accepted Merlin.

And of course, Guinevere and Arthur's relationship, how he is with her in public, but also how he is with her in private, almost childlike and himself.I think/hope

I love how u brought us full circle & kept the ppl's reactions to Merlin & Gwen real. Merlin would be the _perfect_ ambassador too :) Arthur's response to his babe? Priceless!

[fabyenn]

I think Merlin could very diplomatic or very bad ass when he needs to be, so yeah, he'd be a good ambassador, lol. Arthur would be the type to schold his kids in utero, I think lol. Thanks for the feedback!

[mystizan]

Merlin, badass? Surely u mean snarky? Or awesome? Or no-nonsense? *chuckles* Arthur would be a dorky Dad. Srsly.

[fabyenn]

Eh, Merlin managed to successfully poison Morgana, so you gotta give him props for that, LOL. He can be kind of bad ass.
