So gorgeous, hot and heartbreaking. What a wonderful story. The porn maybe "artsy" but certainly nothing to be embarrassed about, not a bit too much or too little--just perfect with the tone and subject matter.

Too many beautiful details to list them all. I loved that "the magic burns through Merlin's reserves far faster than he can replenish them"; inspired and makes such perfect sense.

Also, love the synchronicity of their decision that this is the time. Also, Arthur thinking: "It's you, it's always been you, it will always be you." You killed me with that one and with "a king who can't be faithful to his own queen can't be trusted to uphold his duty to his country."
