Fairy tales are a particular passion of mine. I think in the end I drew elements from over a dozen to flesh out the story I wanted, though the whole time I had to remind myself "Not too overtly magical! Arthur isn't that different yet from Uther (i.e. attack magic first and ask questions later.)" I'm glad you found the atmosphere worked for you.

I think I'm going to try writing something lighter first for a change, but if the writers try another reset button in Series Three, expect to see more spackling from me.

(Uh, Kilgharrah flapped his amnesia wings and POOF! Everything in Camelot was restored to pre-burnination times and Sir Leon totally wasn't dead. *nods* Totally.)
