Glad to see these two chapters. Hmm surprised the boy wasn't Mordred or Arthur. I love how Mithian was portrayed, just loved her. And Uther is a sleazy jerk.

[lovepb]

They're actually one chapter that had to be split because livejournal is evil.

I'm not really sure why you would think it would be Arthur or Mordred?

And yes, Uther is about at self-centered as they come.

Usually when I comment on your fic, it's always straight after I've read it and it's usually incoherant alkjfh/sdbgfhkil;s.jd :D So! I actually took a break after reading so that it wouldn't sound as confusing xD (let's see how well i do!) I love MIthian. LOTS AND LOTS. I'm so glad you put her in your fanfic. Her friendship with Morgana is epic (or is beginning to be epic) and I hope to see her in the fanfic again because she's awesome :D Also, I am LOVING how much of the old religion you are putting into this fic. It is so cool to learn more about it (in your interpretation) it sounds awesome and just having Morgana curious and Morgause all teachy like is reall cool to me :) it makes me happy! :D I STILL HATE UTHER! But that's not surprising :P but once again, you show how epic a writer you are by giving him a back story and making it look like he has 'feelings'! surprise there lol. He's still a total dick, but yaaay for emotion... :P hahaha and now onto the part where it will inevitably be a bit incoherant..... ;LDAIGF;DGAIFKDAUHKJ

Never apologise for leaving a long review! I love them

Isolde and Finnian are such lovely names! And the whole blessing thing was beautiful and vivid and just awesome. You're really good at painting a picture with your words.

There really was no mystery in how Camelot always managed to blunder her alliances. The perpetrator was sitting right beside him. OH SNAP!

I like Thomas he seems like a cool guy.

I feel a time skip coming on but anyway great great chapter; I enjoyed it very much. Worth the wait definitely (as all your chapters are). Thank you :)

Thank you! They've been called that for so long in my mind and in my plans that its so good to finally have my readers know that as well. :)

I'm glad you liked the blessing as it was very hard to write but I thought it was very important as its the first time that Morgana has truly seen Morgase use proper magic and it was important in establishing the twins' destinies.

I wanted to have a king that wasn't a complete arse, hence Thomas! :)

There will be a skip, but only a week or so.

Look at me getting to another bit! Aren't you proud? :P

I know you have plans and needs with Uther but gods I want him dead!!! He's an arrogant arse and while I know he's a plot device, but he keeps getting in the way of their perfect family and grrrrrrrr!!!

Having Morgana and Mordred do a ritual together in the show has made me need Morgana and Morgause to do rituals together more than ever! I know you have things with Morgana and what she can do with magic but uuuugh neeeeeeeed!!!! Though I suppose that I can get a lot of satisfaction out of seeing Morgause teaching Finnian and Isolde and eventually doing rituals with them. I just really need family magic time ok?! I don't ask for much ;)

The ritual was soooooo lovely!!! Thank you for doing this infinitely better than the show could ever hope to do. If only we could see Katie and Emilia doing this!

[lovepb]

Definitely proud. ;)

Uther is far too interesting to write to want dead!

Just wait and you might get your wish of a joint ritual. The best kind of ritual. ;)
