Oh dear! Obviously my writerly powers are failing me lately... :-) I wonder if I'll manage to convince anyone at all that this wasn't actually 'SO WRONG!'...? Probably not! But then I do think our shiny new Merlin universe is playing with the notion of destiny, and the dragon's warnings about Mordred (if he's even telling the truth anyway) can be considered as open to interpretation. The thing I love about the Arthurian universe is that it's mostly about wonderful people who try so very hard to do the right and noble thing, but end up failing to one extent or another. BabyD made me see that that also applies to Mordred.

OK, I shall quit pontificating now! :-)

Thank you for your comment, hon. I'm glad to know you found it hot even though it was SO WRONG. :-D And I'm glad you liked Gwen. Yes, I thought the Merlin side of this did belong in a separate story, if anywhere (I don't intend to write it). I thought it better to leave Arthur a bit confused and not really knowing what's going on. Sorry that just adds to the heartbreak!

Hurrah for Pendragoncest! I hope that made you feel better, my sweet. I love your Arthur so much, and I love you that much, too. ♥♥♥
