Why this must be read:
The aftermath of the final episode of season one is another popular theme in Merlin fic. I love the way that this story starts a little earlier, letting us see some of the action from off-screen including what Arthur, Merlin's mother, Morgana and Gwen get up to while Merlin's on the Isle of the Blessed. The writing is deft enough that the characters interactions are fascinating to watch while the anticipation of Merlin's return builds.
This story is also a must read because it's more of an Arthur figures it out than an Arthur finds out story, and we get to follow along with him as his brain works over the problem in a way that feels real and perfectly in character. A completely lovely read overall.
