This fic is fantastic! I really enjoyed reading this.
The bickering between Morgana and Arthur was really funny. One of the things I liked the most was that there were not just hilarious one-liners, but hilarious one-liners that utilized the time period. Like "She's gorgeous. Right, lock me in a tower and send her to rescue me" and "If Uther were ever to disinherit you, you could make a fine living taming unicorns." And besides these examples, there were many more! ^_________^ I'm a sucker for Merlin fics that make use of the Middle Ages instead of writing around them.
On a more serious note, I could empathize with Morgana a lot. Just like her, I wanted to marry a girl when I was little (boys were yucky). Later, I felt jealous and betrayed when all the girls in my class liked this one boy even though I was obviously way nicer and smarter than him! It's nice to see my own (our own) experiences reflected.
You wrote Morgana well. Seriously, I love this character and the way you wrote her, so sarcastic, fierce, funny, mature and, well, pretty immature at times :)
