Recs and Reviews

  • "AU vid. Merlin reveals his magic to Arthur. Exceptional editing makes this a real standout. When it ended, I was actually surprised (got lost in the story) and sorry there wasn't more."[2]
  • "Constructed narrative. The concept is simple but very powerful, and the story is constructed with amazing clarity and emotional power. I also loved the subtle musicality throughout.[3]
  • "That was fantastic!!!! The way you manipulated those scenes, particularly the one of Merlin revealing himself and Arthur's reaction... wow! It's like that actually happened! Very, very believable AU, and not just because of the scenes, but the story! They were completely in character! And that's not even mentioning the music choices, which were absolutely SPOT ON!"[4]
