“Thirty,” Arthur says.

“Oh. I missed two then.”

Morgana is sitting now, but next to Arthur this time. They are both trying to count the white specks of paint peeling off the opposite wall.

Merlin’s condition, which was unstable a moment ago, is stabilizing. The doctors are still operating on him.

Wow, I was near tears at the end, and some parts just gave me goosebumps. Very well written. And I love that it's Morgana's view. Wonderful!

Oh, that was lovely. Loved Morgana's introspections about what happened to Arthur for all those years. I loved how Merlin was such a big part of his life but that they didn't know about him at all. Well done.

Did you ever write a sequel? I very much enjoyed this, too, and would love to see more of their life together and perhaps Arthur putting his friends and sister back in his life.

I really liked how you did Morgana--the hints about her own backstory, how she's unsure how to approach Arthur after not seeing him for so long. And Arthur, too--how he's so worried about Merlin that he can't really communicate with Morgana, yet it's clear that he's very glad she's there.

Morgana's viewpoint is quite challenging to write for me, so I'm really glad that you enjoyed it! I'm also especially happy to hear that the portrayal of Arthur's bond with Morgana does not get lost in the story.

Thank you so much for reading!
