Aw, I'm glad I got to read your happy thoughts! The OT3 moment was one of my very favorite things ever. That's like, the kind of thing I'm forever writing into fic, but never expect to get in my shows. ♥

The equality of Merlin and Arthur's relationship this season is taking my breath away. Arthur still makes a half-hearted effort to keep up the old "terrible servant" line, but it's so much for show that Merlin barely even acknowledges it any more. And even Arthur seems to be tiring of it—but it reassures him.

Merlin needing to hear that Arthur would have gone back for him kinda broke my heart a lot, but in the good way.
