There are no words for this gorgeousness.

But it makes me want to try, anyway. I'm not a regular Merlin watcher, though I've got the general gist of the action. But this- this makes me reconsider that. Because there is something wonderful and bright and sad about them, this little group, and in your hands it really becomes something powerful. I love Bess and Merlin and Gaius, and I love Arthur and his horse, and I love Morgana and Gwen and Morgana's sword. I love that Bess is so angry, so deeply angry, and she still wants biscuits. I love how human and vulnerable they all are.

And this:

Merlin laughs, stumbling out from under the protection of the willow’s branches, and for an airless, frozen moment he seems a shadow cast upon the walls of the castle, a dark silhouette against cloud-pale stone.

Everything that is, and could be. You have such a gift, and I'm continually grateful that you share it.

This was complete awesomes :D, I loved it!!!

Nimueh gets a second chance to be a different person and she chose right... I'm happy for this :D

Also now Merlin has a new teacher who can actually taught him tons of things... Arthur knows as does Gwen... even Morgana has a new chance.

I think this was awesome, and I'm thinking you are planing a sequel?? That will be great also, just don't make Bess evil ok, pretty please!!

Be well and thanks for this great story!!!

This was lovely. I really liked how Bess was willing to teach Merlin what he needed. I liked the spell with Arthur and how easily it was to fix. Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest to think of. Well done.

Fantastic. Original premise, entertaining and in-character interactions, and a (strangely) sensible sort-of-heroine (a personal favourite). You've managed to give everyone a certain depth, making them seem that much more human, without compromising the plot. Brilliant work.
