I *like* this AU (and that's not just because I adore moresomes). The way you've written them, they do fit together and it wouldn't be right for them to be apart. I love how you've given Morgana depth and reason and I would be more than happy if you decided to continue this AU!

OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH. I want this. I need this.

Yes. This is how it ends. Screw canon.

Fantastic. Thanks for writing it. :)

Oh, how do I love this? Let me count the ways!

I love how you have them all together while taking into account the recent years of their lives. They're all battered, weary, and no longer the children they were, and yet for all that they've all changed, they still fit together like pieces of a puzzle. *clings to them*

So beautiful! I love it! Thank you so much for this! :)

Oh, I'm so glad you wrote this. I missed the OT4, and this fic makes me feel like it still might be possible one day. I just kind of want to give them all hugs.

♥ ♥ ♥ and some more ♥, endlessly, forever.

I had this open in a tab from the kink meme and just got to it today, and really it's just as well because now I know who to shower the love on. I miss the OT4 so much and didn't think it was possible for them to work any more at this point, but you made it work so perfectly and naturally that I'm just going to adopt this for my canon and ignore anything the show tries to say otherwise. ;) Everything with Morgana's visions and thoughts about missed opportunities was absolutely fitting within the story, and it also works wonderfully on a sort of meta level in terms of the show itself, which is brilliant. The characterisation for each of them is fantastic, I especially love Morgana's thoughts about Gwen and the hints at what went down between Arthur and Merlin. Utterly delightful in every way, basically. :D
