I know you already have like a million comments from me for this story, but I felt the need to leave one final comment *nods*
You do know how much I love this fic and the way you've written it. Your style is just so unique and even though your stories do get quite long it's never even anywhere near rambling. Every word seems to be carefully put there to be added into a greater picture near the end of the story. I just really adore your writing style - ever have, always will ♥
Okay, on to some story plots. First of all is of course Lancelot. No, just kidding, though I loved the way you wrote him! He was loyal and so full of chivalry that it almost hurt me. Which is good, cause that's exactly what happens to me while watching Merlin too! Sometimes he is just so honest and submissive and I think you wrote that just perfectly! Wow, now I really do have spoken about him LOL Well, I guess he deserves that. As well as all the other knights you decided to put in. Even though I don't have a very good idea of how Elyan and Percival could be in S4, I really hope they will be somehow like you portrayed them here. They were fun to read and I loved you Gwaine always wanted to tease/did tease Percival. One could also see that those two need more credit thatn people give them. And yeah, Leon XD Good old, loyal and ever-present Leon. Never says a word too much, never says not enough. I really do get now why you love him so much - I think it's reassuring to know that someone like Leon is amongst your knights and always at your left side. (Right side is reserved for Merlin =D) I kinde grew fond of him during the story. And he has a very cool name *pokes all Leons* And speaking of knights: I really really really loved the dynamic between all of them! And that they were not only getting along all the time. Even though I hate to see rifts sometimes, I know that you can't get along 24/7. And with all those different personalities and views on the same things, I really am proud of you to be able to write that smoothly. I never finished a chapter and thought Oh my god, they hate each other ;_____; Lanceloooooot LOL I just knew even if they would now start to gauge each other's eyes out, you would find a way to get them back to normal. After all, even if they are all different (which is good!), they are Camelot's finest and somehow they all get along very well together. Opposites attract! ♥
Well, one knight is missing there, so let's talk about Gwaine. I adored him in this story, even though I don't know Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnelle I had the feeling I did. I loved the changes he went trough, without ever losing his personality! He still is someone who enjoys a good drink (or two or the whole night long) and teases his fellow knights whenever he can, but he grew up a lot. He learned some good lessons from the Green Knight and is now really worthy of being Sir Gwaine of Camelot. I had the feeling he finally has settled down. Or rather, his heart is finally where his body is. I always remembered the home is where your heart is when I thought about this. Futhermore, his actions and thoughts were always so understandable and at the right place in the story. I mean, his boldness when he diceded to be the one challenged by the Green Knight and his inner squirms whenever he taught he failed or betrayed his challenger. I never had the feeling he should just shut the fuck up and be a man again. You really wrote that inner conflict so detailed but not detailed enough to make him seem like a wimp. Good feeling of story balance, there honey ♥
Okay, what next? Right, the relationships in the story. There were so many, slashy and bromance and just normal friendships, but they were all so outstanding and unique and I enjoyed every moment of them. Among the knights there always seems to be some tension but all in all they do get along very well. For the time being I don't dwell on that for too long now, so I just concentrate on the most important ones. Gwaine & Merlin. I already loved their friendship in the series and I think you picked that up just perfectly! It was so nice to see how Gwaine always stood up for his friend and even shouted at Arthur to defend him. Even though he knew nothing about the magic-confession. And then, Merlin told him about his magic! I've wanted that for so long and you made it just perfect. Marvelous! Fantastic! Finally Gwaine knew and he reacted so Gwaine-like. Oh, which leads me to another quick thing about Gwaine: He really had the best lines and jokes in the whole story! As I said like a million times: You can always count on Gwaine to lighten the mood. And he really did. I think this is one of his best features. A real opposite to Lancelot, who seems to be only relaxing while being with Merlin and Merlin alone *hugs him*
Arthur/Merlin. I. LOVED. IT. The almost never ending harshness Arthur treated Merlin with after the confession. The one time in the rain, those unforgettable moments when they finally shouted the truth at each other, the wamr and lovely moments they could share, Arthur's beginning change once they entered the Green Knight's forest. And Merlin. Also, the ever-loyal companion right at Arthur's side. They really are two sides of the same coin and I enjoy this pairing whenever and however you write them! I know why it's one of my favourite pairings! Btw, I really loved you you implied the Lancelot/Gwen/Arthur and solved that without showing it too much or too less attention.
And last, but not least Green Knight/Gwaine. GOD, I want that to be canon since you told me first about the story! The Green Knight is so free and wild and pure and funny and caring and *faints* Gwaine on the other side is also funny, also free and also wild. But in a totally different way and you wrote that in the most perfect way I can picture! (Wow, I should think of another word than "perfect" XD) You really pushed this pairing among my OTPs and I am so sad that there is no Green Knight in the series and that this story really is over! Not only did I finally want some interaction between them (as I said once: the seething sexual tension between the Green Knight and Gwaine. Will they ever get it on? Just fuck kiss him already XD), but I also enjoyed the way they treated each other. They are made to be together, just as A/M *nods* And now I forgot what I wanted to say... ;_; But I think I already said too much.
TL;DR Your story really is (and yes, I use it another time) perfect. From beginning to end, it's just awesomely wunderful! And I am proud to have been a tiny part of it ♥ And noooow, you could finally post your NaNo, don't you think? XD)
