Title: Secrets
Recipient: Moondustings
Rating: G
Pairings: Gwen/Morgana
Medium: Digital painting
Content Notes/Warnings: None
Artist's Notes: In which Gwen knows, and Morgana knows that she knows.

Prompts: emotional intimacy, exploration of loneliness, cozy, established relationship

One of the things I mourned the most in the canon version of this story as presented by the show was the loss of the friendship, and the chance for something more, between these two. I took this as an opportunity to wonder what might have been, if Morgana's burden had been shared by someone who loved her for her entire self.

I drew inspiration for the composition and style from Alphonse Mucha's "Quill and Primrose," as well as Klimt's "Girlfriends" and "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I".
