Merlin fan
The first time I watched it, I just thought they were "we fell in love when we were young, but we didn't know it."
After watching it for the fifth time, I felt that they were "one of them received a too orthodox education and never thought about the possibility; the other attributed everything to fate."
Only after the tenth time did I realize that "they both know each other and this is the way they love each other."
Although it is a fanfic, it has an original female protagonist and male supporting characters. Generally speaking, it is not a fanfic (because writing a fanfic is always OOC, so avoid writing from the perspective of the original characters. Maybe writing them as supporting characters will not be OOC). If you come here as a fanfic, you may be disappointed.
The character stories are all based on the TV series and have nothing to do with the legend.
