Wow that was one hell of a chapter! I loved every minute of it. I enjoyed the Gwen/Elyan scenes because we haven't got many of those and seeing Arthur being there to comfort her was heart warming.

And the ending... Gwen drugging Percival. I'm just dying to know why she did that and what she is doing leaving Arthur and Camelot?

Yay, that means it wasn't obvious! I achieved my goal. lol, thanks!

[ella_rose88]

Well I'm thinking it must have to do with whatever is troubling Arthur atm at the council meetings but that is all I can gather.

[mara93]

Okay. :) By the way I'm just staring at your icon. I loved that moment. The way she jumped, it reminded me of my favorite OTH moments. That was just so cute! And how they walked off happily while poor Merlin...hee.

Dude! I don't even know what to say. Great chapter. Hope everything goes to plan for Gwen. Although they seldom do...

[mara93]

Yeah, so far it hasn't right? Wrong draught and the note's seen better days. Thanks! Fun to write this.

Oh, goodness! First of all, I have to say I love your writing. I can truly feel the characters emotions.

Secondly, I have so many thoughts after reading this. Why is Guinevere leaving? What does she need to do? What is Arthur going to think? Is he going to blame himself for letting her go without him?

Thirdly, LOVED Arthur being there to comfort Gwen and the acknowledgment and discussion of the fact that he basically dumped her for a few hours. Regardless of the fact that he apologized and regretted his decision, we know that couldn't have just been erased from Gwen's mind. I like how you've written her inner turmoil - how she is torn between her love for Arthur and staying by his side, but also needing to prove to herself that she can be queen.

I loved this whole exchange and just the silent comfort and support Arthur offered her:

A solid wall of protection came against her back, strongly pulling her away

I have to say I'm tickled pink that people are wondering what's going to happen next. That means it's not as obvious to you as it is to me after editing this thing over and over, lol.

I actually took more issue with this break-up than the banishment one, because when he banished her I just felt like every party was wronged. With this, I felt he made a huge mistake in listening to his uncle and I'm all for her forgiving him. That's her giving personality. But I wouldn't have minded a less easy road back to each other, a little bit of tension that could have slowly alleviated. So that's partly where this whole story came to play.

I wrote that exchange and liked it, thought it was okay, but hoped others would like it too.

Thanks for all your detailed comments. They're so lovely to read and appreciated!!!!!

Yes girl yes! These are my thoughts and feelings on the matter exactly and I love me some Gwen outside of Camelot. While I can guess on where Gwen is off to I seriously can't imagine where she is or what she is planning to do.

[mara93]

I know. I agreed so much when you posted about it. The banishment just made me sad for everyone, but Morgana. The break-up made me kind of angry with Arthur and then wondering a little bit about how Gwen took his apology so quickly. Some conversation would have been good, but oh well. The way it ended was nice too for the show. I get to explore the other side in fic. :)

[fabyenn]

Pshh, your apologizing does not mean you are forgiven! Not by far, lol. Especially since you're liable to do it again, aren't you?

Glad Arthur was there for Gwen in her time of need. Still hate Agravaine and cannot wait for his duplicitous ass to be gutted by Arthur on the show. Glad Elyan made it through, hope Percy forgives Gwen, lol.

Keep it comin'!

[mara93]

LOL.

I'm not? Oh. How about, you're the best!? Hee, um, yeah, but you're sort of right. That really wasn't the last...um...one. They just work for the story!! hee. Sorry.

I can't stand Agravaine too, but boy is he interesting to write! He's one of my more intriguing characters from the this show season. He's awful and yet he's so fun to put in fic and so I can see that the writers probably have fun with him on the show.

Hee, Percy became one of my favorite characters this season too.

Thanks, I will!
