I enjoyed this, it's very well written. Having the faintest more context might have made it better as a story, but it's understandable regardless

Hi!

You do very well here to convey the mood here. I'd like to see Mithian and Merlin's POVs if you go further. If this is a one shot, well done.

Thanks for sharing!

This is a very interesting version of what could have happened!
