I guess I saw one particular scene from 3.08 as being sort of symbolic when it comes to A/G (and I know it is just one scene, but bear with me). Gwen is waiting for Arthur outside his door as he is just about to embark on this epic quest and...it's a pretty bland peck on the cheek and "later". She kind of has to watch him go. I'm not saying this because I hate Gwen or anything, because I really, really don't, nor to be mean. Just that I think it sort of represents what happens....Arthur will always be going somewhere, doing something for the kingdom, etc. etc, and their relationship takes a backseat.
I know some people are upset that Arthur didn't question Merlin's presence on the Quest. All I can think about, though, is the fact that Arthur looked right at Merlin when it was reiterated that it had to be undertaken by him alone, and yeah...he wanted him there in the first place :)
Exactly! Arthur and Gwen do have a good base attraction. I'm not doubting they're interested in each other, but I question the hell out of their future relationship. Aside from the giant difference in dedication to the relationship, they have nothing in common. It'd make a great high school romance that fizzled out after three months. But attempting to package and sell it as omg true love forever? PUTA POR FAVOR
( ... )
Yes! I doubt Arthur knows what unconditional love looks like, because when has he ever had that before?
I think he really doesn't know what to do with Merlin most of the time. I don't think he even questions half of the weird things that are associated with him anymore :P
OK. It is Friday after all...or at least I will give it a shot haha. Goodness knows I love the crack!fic something fierce.
I HAVE A FEELING THAT THIS IS WHY ARTHUR KEEPS THROWING THINGS AT MERLIN. At some point, he's going to have to use magic to deflect, thus ridding him of the agony of having to decide when to tell Arthur & how, etc. etc. HE JUST WANTS MERLIN TO TRUST LIKE ARTHUR DOES HIM OK
