I utterly adored this. After Arthur's self-denial in the first one this felt like a well-deserved happy ending even after so many years. I loved the whole atmosphere of it with the drinking and the celebrating and Morgana in the stationery cupboard. Seeing it all through Merlin's eyes this time worked brilliantly and this "Arthur is Arthur, and everyone fades into shadows around him, and they always have done." is just the perfect description. Thanks so much for this ♥
