Reccer's Notes: I don't remember exactly what prompted it but earlier this year I decided to rewatch the entirety of BBC's Merlin, which made me realise how much I still love the show. This of course, meant I had to catch up with a decades worth of fanfic because the fandom is apparently still going strong.

I really like this fic because a) I really enjoyed Mithian's character on the show, b) I liked seeing a group of women interacting when previously we only saw them in their individual episodes, c) I like seeing women deal with issues of politics, and d) seeing the after effects of the finale and how life continues on. Even though the fic is focused on Mithian, you can still see the glimpses of Gwen's grief at the loss of her husband.
