Rating/Warnings: G; none
Characters/Pairings: Gwen-centric study; hints of Arthur/Gwen
Disclaimer: Merlin isn't mine. I wish it were. I'm getting nothing out of this except the satisfaction of...something.
Summary: Guinevere has always had faith. No spoilers. 177W
Author’s notes: Wow. It's been a while. I'm trying to get back into Merlin, so there might be more from me, we'll see.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1
Guinevere has always had faith. For as long as she can remember, she’s been the one to see the best in all around her.
She’s had faith that her father was the best person she would ever know. She’s had faith that justice would prevail. She’s had faith that Morgana’s strange gifts would lead her to something great. (She’s had faith shatter, too.)
She’s had faith that life would get better; she’s had faith that Arthur Pendragon would be a great man.
Of course, she knows that having faith is hard. It’s hard to watch the world turn around you and know you can do nothing but hold tight to promises and that faith in things that haven’t happened yet.
Having faith is even harder when you just don’t know.
Gwen, though, has had, and always will have, faith that things can turn out right.
That’s how she knows, when the rider from the front lines dismounts and runs up the castle steps in his bloody and torn clothes, he is not bringing news of the enemy’s victory.
