It's difficult to find long, plotty Gwen/Morgana stories - stumbling upon an awesome one is like winning a lottery.  fiercynn gives us a compelling story with everyone in character and the developing relationship between Gwen and Morgana is both complex and realistic.

Morgana watched her, bemused. She knew that Gwen had her awkward, uncertain moments quite often, but it was very rarely with Morgana, and although that showed the level of familiarity and ease in their friendship, sometimes Morgana wished for a change in that relationship, wished – well. Morgana had her responsibilities, and Gwen's friendship was certainly too precious to lose. Besides, there was no way that she could take advantage of her position as Gwen's mistress, because even after they had been together for so many years, Gwen still thought of herself as something less than she was. As Morgana had told Merlin, Gwen didn't think she deserved the things that she wanted or needed, and she would do anything for Morgana if asked, but there were some things that Morgana desired for Gwen's sake as much as her own – and only if Gwen truly wanted them enough to ask herself.
