I love this. It's moving enough for Lancelot to sacrifice himself just out of nobility, but adding all that weight of emotion behind it? So poignant. Lovely.

Lance was a complicated man, torn by his decisions and with flaws that only brought him sorrow. Glad you liked it.

Oh Lancelot. This is lovely and makes a lot of sense.

I know. Poor Lance. I always felt so bad for him.

Love this look at Lancelot - so true too.

This is fantastic and slots seamlessly into canon.

I do like to try and fit things into canon! Happy you liked it.

I really like this! Great job in capturing Lance's emotions and the choices he makes. Loved how aware he is of his own weaknesses and that he knew what he was picking at the end.

Thanks so much. I really liked Lance, even with his flaws. It was pretty clear that he was deeply unhappy but couldn't seem to move past it. Glad it made sense to you.
