Why this must be read: This fic, oh man. It is gorgeous and absolutely heartbreaking.dollsome gets into Morgana's head and shows us her confusion, her anger, the beginning of her path away from Camelot, and yet still retains everything that made S1 and S2 Morgana herself. And she chooses her language precisely and delicately, and the resulting fic is lyrical and desperate and beautiful. This is the Morgana that lives in my head, not the caricature of S3.
He is so pathetic and so convinced of the uniqueness of his misery. Part of her wants to laugh. She feels so old; he is such a child. Still, at the same time, it is rare to see him so despondent, and her heart aches for him just a little. She wonders what this unfathomable secret may be. For a split-second, a foolish second, she wonders whether it might be Merlin: having been the first and most seasoned recipient of Arthur’s flirtations, all variations on literal and figurative pigtail-pulling, she cannot help suspecting that that much bullying could have a bit more behind it. And besides, cruel as it may be, there is a part of her that hopes wildly at the notion: that way, she would not be the only of Uther’s children to come out so dreadfully wrong.
