This was beautiful!

Aww! The only thing I found wrong with this is the missing "Merlin is in love with Gwen" scene from that episode.

I just love Arthur's voice in this fic and you capture him perfectly. Hearing Arthur's inner thoughts in this episode gives him more depth and I think connects him even more to the broader question of magic. We see how conflicted he actually is, especially living under Uther but having more of a moral issue with his father's choices than he sometimes lets on. Thoroughly enjoy fics like this that expand episodes and make us love the characters even more.

This was a nice introspection on Arthur by Arthur.
