Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5 " 'Till This Night "

Gwen and Arthur meet at last. I really like this story so far. Gwen is such an underused character in Merlin giving her a connection to family from Ethopia is a grwat choice. Also giving us a stronger sense of the period and connecting Uther's war on magic to real people is great as well. I'll certainly be looking fo rmore.



Author's Response:

I really wish the show would develop a better backstory for Guinevere...oh well. Thanks for reading and commenting :) I've read you 'Exile' fic and I love the character development you do with Gwen.

Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10 "The May Queen"

These last two chapters were really good. Arthur and Guinevere undone by one little kiss. *sigh* I can't wait to read the enxt one. :)



Author's Response:

Thanks so much :) Glad you liked the kiss ;)

Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12 "And By Candlelight"

You're writing as always is lovely and evocative. The relationship you are building between Arthur and Gwen is beautiful and sweet. The way that they are moving forward and holding back creates wondeful tension.  I feel sorry for Morgana she seems destined to be both tooll and villian in modern takes on the legend.



Author's Response:

Thank you as always for your lovely review!  :) It means a  lot coming from a fellow writer!

Title: Chapter 14: Chapter 14 "Neither Have I Wings To Fly"

Well the last chapter left us on a bit of a cliffhanger and this one is just leaving me wanting more. As always you're writing is lovely and evocative. And I am already eager for Arthur and Guinevere's reunion.



Author's Response:

I always look forward to your comments :) Thank you for your regular reviews, they are deeply appreciated!

Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7 "Watching Stars Without You"

Melwas, Mithian go away, go away!!Actually Mithian can stay, but no marrying Arthur.

 

Such Arwen intensity beautifully written, I am angsting again. So Morgause is pushing for Morgana to kill Gwen and Morgana is torn perfect. I love that your Morgana is conflicted about killing her childhood friend and the woman who stood by her during that awful pregnancy. I hope she sees that Morgause is just using her and switches sides.



Author's Response:

I'm glad people are enjoying the angst! :) As for Morgana, yea I just couldn't stomach making her the cartoony villian from the show. Despite her despicable tactics (on the show) she did experience some legitimately shitty things, and I wanted to be able to contextualize that some more in my fic (yknow, cos unlike the Merlin writers I actually care about the women in the story **eye roll**).

I really want to write another story that's all about Morgana and Guinevere's friendship, solely from their perspective, exploring their different destinies and the complex realities holding them together. Maybe someday...:)

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 "For the Love of Eirinn"

Oh I haven't forgotten that an Arthur-sponsored ass-whooping is suppposed to becoming Melwas' way.



Author's Response:

Don't worry dear, I'm saving that up especially for you ;)

Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5 "Of Flesh and Breath and Bone"

We must be on the same schedule, haha. Great to see Guinevere and Merlin working together, I liked Merlin's hesitation about whether or not Uther should be saved,

Wonderful work pulling in Arthur's mother and establishing Ygraine's lineage as a link back to the founding of Avalon. And of course we are all waiting for those steamy scenes between Gwen and Arthur.

 



Author's Response:

Haha we must be :) Thanks for the review! I'm really glad you liked the Igraine connection: I really wish the show would delve into that some more **rolls eyes** Oh well. That's why we have fanfic ;)
As for steamy ARWEN scenes...hehehe **rubs hands together diabolically**

Title: Chapter 4: Chapter 4 "Halfway to Anywhere"

You've got some interesting twists and turns in this. I  wonder how Morgana will be damaged by injesting the mandrake root ? Given what it did to Uther its kind of scary.

Onto the Arwen moments. Am I excited or am I excited I see an Athur delivered ass-whoopin' in Melwas's future? :) Either that or Gwen could stab him, I would approve of Gwen knifing the bastard as well. A marriage to him would be tantamount to rape. I can't wait for her to get away from the bastard.



Author's Response:

"an Athur delivered ass-whoopin'"

 

Hahahahahaha! Yea that Melwas is really asking for one of those isn't he? Glad you liked the Arwen moments :) and thank you for the review!

Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3 "Dream of Gardens in the Desert"

Morgana and Gwen had a legitimate friendship in your story, I am saddened that that is no longer the case. I hope they can make their way back to that eventually.

 

I like how you are pulling in some element Merlin itself with Uther and mandrake root. Can we expect a longer story about Uther's past crimes and the reasons for his choices? Looking forward to your next update. :)



Author's Response:

Thanks so much for the review AG! One of the things I hate about the show is how the writers mishandled the potential for a beautiful woman/woman friendship. I try to amend some of that in the story, mostly by having them be equal in station, and I'm hoping to demonstrate that their friendship is strained by conflicting destinies and loyalties, in more complex ways than the show's botched I-suddenly-hate-you schpiel. Hopefully I succeed...

Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Every Breath We Drew

Well it gives you the feeling that A/G are settled so-to-speak. Uther is ill and Gwen comes with a nice sized dowery. I think Arthur can pull off the marriage he wants. Morgana is very well done here, a villain but a human one. :) And now Morguase and Morgan's plot can be the focus of the story.



Author's Response:

I'm really glad you like Morgana's characterization. I will never forgive the BBC for the botched job of her story. Thanks for the review!

Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12 "The Necklace of Songs"

First I cheered when you said you were writing another story. :) Morgana and Gwen their friendship and its ending made me quite sad. :( Second I know Morgana has to go her own way I just wish she could have retained her ties with her loved ones. Excellent job of weaving their friendship through the story really one of the best female focused Arthurian stories I've seen in a while.Third Arthur and Gwen together at last love the detail with the stockings. Finally Merlin as court sorcerer out in the open where he belongs.:)

 

Thank you for sharing this wornderful, evocative story with us.
