Thank you so very much! (I'm a little bit amused by Merlin's misery as well, hee.)

And I was definitely pulling from canon a bit with the sorceress killing part, so I'm glad that showed. When I first saw the episode with Sophia, I was a little surprised at how nonchalant Merlin was about killing Sophia and Ulfric. But then I realized oh, duh, they tried to kill Arthur, all bets are off.

I'm glad you liked it! Thank you so much for commenting! :D
