I keep running into that phrase 'emotional roller coaster' in terms of this fic. I guess, at the time I wrote it, I didn't really see it that way, but now that I've had it pointed out, I can understand why people would describe it in those terms.
I'm glad that Arthur's disconnect came through, as well as the tension between Merlin and Arthur.
As happy as I would be to say that Merlin feels comfortable sharing his magic with Arthur, now, I don't see that happening for quite some time. Uther is still the king, and magic is still banned in Camelot. I just can't see Merlin making Arthur choose between duty to his father and protecting someone he loves.
