Thank you very much. Much of the 'historical' detail is probably as accurate as the series, but I did try to get it right.

What I love about this fandom is that the two main male characters both have power (even if Merlin's is not known, yet, in canon). They have different sorts of power, but they have the potential to acknowledge equality, in that respect. Arthur is not the sort of man who would be happy hiding behind Merlin, any more than Merlin would accept the reverse.

You're going to make me read this fandom aren't you? :)
I'm no proselytiser, but if you want some good recs, *g* just PM me.
