Romance needs to be sprinkled in when things are set up right. Or else it comes across as force or too fast, making it feel shallow. And now that Morgan has gone for the plunge, things will properly start moving forwards.

Naw <3 Thank you for the review, my good sir! I will take your compliments, and use it to fuel my superiority complex! I hope you have a nice day, and I pray that you continue to enjoy the Fic!

To summon a Servant you need to first have something that can connect to The Throne of Heroes(ToH). Think of it as the ICloud of humanity, where only the greatest humans that have influenced humanity or had a large impact on history, get their souls stored there. The easiest way to get a connection is though the use of the Third True Magic, known as Heavens Feel, however that is close to impossible to do, so one usually creates a mystic code meant to create a connection to the ToH. But the sheer energy required to summon one though such a method makes it impractical, as it would take years worth of a energy in quantities that only leylines could provide. In the Grail War, the Greater Grail works as the Mystic Code, that has a loose connection to the ToH, but it requires 60 years to summon seven of them, but has extra energy to help 'tether' them to the earth, as the 'copies' of the heroes are constantly 'pulled' to return to the ToH. But if you managed to pull all of this off, you'd still be stuck with providing enough Od for the Servant to stay, and the drain alone is crippling to most magi. Point is, it is possible, but the costs are so astronomically high, that there are simply better things to use all the resources on, rather than summoning, and keeping a Servant.

Lessen to me.... Ditch your midterms preparation, and read the fic.... Trust me, its a far better use of your time...

Will fix!

You missed a spelling error!!! LOOOL

For me, I like to think of Morgan as the ultimate blank slate charachter in fate, as there is so much you could do with her. For my interpretation I leaned heavily into the Vivian-Morgan split personality route to give her a chance at not being so terrible by choice. In the fic, she stats off as the Morgan from legends, acting just as she should, as she does not know how to act properly now that she can think clearly. Next she finally decides to show a smidge of vulnerability, and she is neither shown pity, nor is it thrown back in her face, but it is silently accepted, and her statement is taken at face value, despite the reputation she has. She gets a bit more comfortable with him, acts more relaxed, and is given some minor care, free of charge without her asking for it, nor him making a big deal out of it. And when she stumbles, as she has never been so relaxed in her life, her wish is accepted without protest, and Alistair indivertibly affirms her right to a clean slate, allowing her to live as she wishes. Combine all that with her dreadful treatment which she received, and gave, it doesn't make it difficult for the reader to understand why she has grown feelings for him. Someone who accepts her history as a witch, yet allows her to live as a human. I feel it is a much nicer, full circle arc for Morgan as a whole, rather than leaving her as the scheming woman from legends, that either throws herself at the strongest male in hopes of outwitting her sister, or acts as an evil woman, because she is a witch. Such a character deserves some more respect, and I hope that I have given her some in my interpretation of her.

I had a general idea of what I wanted to happen in this scene, and in general when it comes to my characters, and the story... though it can be called a lose skeleton of what I want thing to look like. The only things that I have put serious effort into are my Oc characters/ barley fleshed out fate characters, as I feel they need more respect in their representation, or else I'll fall on a landmine, and ruin them in a heartbeat. Morgan is one of those which I have six pages of info and background written about her, along with likely reactions to things given her personality. So as to give the best experience I can when it comes to her, and her character progression. Following in the norm of 'oh she's a witch seductress' could work for most fics, I have no doubt, but I wanted to lean heavily into the Morgan Vivian split personality scenario, which forces me to reinvent the character, while keeping her true to herself, but not to the point where she becomes detectible. So her character arcs have been maliciously planned, though the conversations that I write in the chapters are barley planned, other than me knowing that I have to hit certain checkpoints, without it coming across as forced or out of character. So, its a bit of both for me, as I had planned exactly how I wanted this to turn out, but I had not planned any of the dialogue, allowing me to write it as it came along, which felt incredibly liberating when things came so well together.

Based opinion detected!

I like to think of it as a domino effect, she stats off as the Morgan from legends, acting just as she should, as she does not know how to act properly now that she can think clearly. Next she finally decides to show a smidge of vulnerability, and she is neither shown pity, nor is it thrown back in her face, but it is silently accepted, and her statement is taken at face value, despite the reputation she has. She gets a bit more comfortable with him, acts more relaxed, and is given some minor care, free of charge without her asking for it, nor him making a big deal out of it. And when she stumbles, as she has never been so relaxed in her life, her wish is accepted without protest, and Alistair indivertibly affirms her right to a clean slate, allowing her to live as she wishes.
