This was wonderful! Annis was brilliant, and I loved your take on her backstory. I hope we get so see more of her!

Thank you very much!
I hope we'll see more of her too, I can't help imagining some epic finale where Camelot is besieged or something and when all hope seems lost, Queen Annis saves the day...

This is excellent! I love how you make Annis come alive, giving her more of a backstory and making her even more amazing!

Thanks for sharing! :)

Thanks a lot!
Annis is really awesome; in one episode, she's become some kind of feminist icon to me (which Merlin kind of lacked with strong and powerful women only being baddies...)

That is fascinating because it really fits. That was perhaps really her POV - interesting!
Thank you for this wonderful fic and for giving me something to think over.

Thank you very much!
I really tried to be true to canon (even if it was kind of blurry to me whether Caerleon was the kingdom's or the King's name) and I'm happy it worked for you.
I'm really glad it made you think, too (it still makes me think, really).

Thank you very much!

I'm glad this story was worthy of such a great character, I want to see more of her too!

In my mind I have a very complete and furnished Annis backstory with her relationship with Gorlois, and her mother and the former King; but at the same time I always want to say more, it's really difficult for me to write something long in a timely fashion and I intended this to be quick and short, so I had to refrain.

That was lovely. You took what we saw of Annis and drew a fuller, wider picture of her. Very nicely done.

Thank you very much!
I hope so much we'll see more of her in the future...
