This was really interesting! It was neat to read something from Hunith's point of view. She's a strong woman! (And baby Merlin is so cute~)

Thank you! I really liked Hunith in 110, but mostly all I wanted was to show Merlin as a baby. Hehe. Oh, if only I could draw!

Oh I liked this very much indeed. Very nicely done.

Thanks! :)

That's a fun fic - I'm glad you posted it anyway, since multiple fics definitely isn't against the rules (the more the merrier).

I liked seeing more of Merlin's mother, and I like the idea that she was originally from Camelot - it makes more sense of her sending Merlin back there.

(And I'm pretty sure that Ty Glas is in Wales - or were you wanting a more specific location?)

Yay, thank you! I think it's a bit of an awkward fit with canon, but I really only wanted baby!Merlin to move objects with his mind like he said he'd done in 101, so oh well!

(You're right about that - can you guess more specifically?)

Merlin had mastered the art of charm by two months old when he gave his first gummy grin.

Aww, cutest baby!Merlin ever.

I haven't seen 1x10 yet *shitfy eyes* but you totally made me want to discover his mother. I need to see it.
I love how you portayed her even if I have no idea what she's like in canon. Strong women = <3

Baby!Merlin is made of cute, and I really like your Hunith pov.

Thank you! Of course, my Hunith POV was utterly ruined by 113 when she is all "SACRIFICE YOURSELF FOR ME MERLIN" but at the time it worked okay. ;)
