I love this! Morgana's fears are so real, and I love that they have a childhood relationship built on always being together

Thank you! What I find interesting about Arthur/Morgana is their back story, because it obviously has so much influence of their relationship.

Oh, this is wonderful. Very IC for a young Arthur and Young Morgana. In fact, it kinda makes me want to read "The Adventures of Young Arthur and Young Morgana" because you know they got into all sorts of trouble and shennanigans until the obvious sexual attraction of growing stubborn teenagers made things awkward.

Great use of the prompt!

Thank you! doylefan22 wrote a lot of young!Arthur and Morgana, which is sort of canon in my head, now.

you should write mooooaaaarr

“I'll let you know what I find out. Later. Maybe,” she added over her shoulder. Arthur swore under his breath; but he only paused for a second before hurrying off after her.

Eeee! Forever inspiring him to do things he shoooooouldn't.

“Promise me.” Morgana's voice was thick with held back tears. “That I never have to leave, that I make this my home. I can't lose another.”

One of the reasons why I wanted her to shackle up with the druids or Nimueh and leave Camelot by hew orn free will. While being cast away from a place she calls home again makes for good drama, in a show like this, it's bound to be brushed aside with a comic-relief scene 5 seconds later, which would be like adding salt to injury.

Og Morgana. :( I feel for her so much in this show, because they wrote her in such a way that she seems to have nothing but Camelot, Arthur, Uther and Gwen in this canon. And, unlike the other members of the fourtet, it's her destiny to be stripped of it all and not live Camelot's "golden days". :(

She's tragic, and trapped. If she did go to the druids, she would at least be fulfilling some of her potential.

Arthur needs her to talk him into things, to work on his conscience. To encourage him, yet not let him get too full of himself.

This was lovely. I loved taht they had a real relationship. Morgana has a lot to be frightened of and Arthur needs to know this. Well done.
