Great essay! TA to everything you said! Now if only the writers would read this! XD

They are the two people some would normally look over for being average but the two people who see in each other hope and beauty.

Thanks so much! Haha, I'd love for the writers to see this and be inspired. :D

Eeeeeee! I'm so happy to see this! This is a really nice manifesto. And I'm always glad to see more stuff by Gwen/Lancelot fans.

I will never get tired of watching that GIF. The way they cling to each other.

For fic, I would also recommend The More Loving One, which is beautiful, bittersweet, and just right. Also Forever Kneel'd To A Lady In His Shield, for excellent sensuality.

Nice to see "The Greatest Story Ever Told" on the fanvid list. I love that vid so much.

Thanks so much! Yeah, I always like to spread the good word of Lancelot and Gwen.

Thanks for the other recs! I'm not too involved in this fandom so more recs are always welcome.

Yay, thank you for the rec on my fic! :D

OHMYGOSH. I love this. I love you, this is perfect. ♥

They are both underdogs. They are the two people some would normally look over for being average but the two people who see in each other hope and beauty. They are, perhaps, in many ways, too good to be true. They have a pure, innocent love that is untainted for now. But that is what makes them as compelling and beautiful as they are.

Thiiiiiis this, so much this. I've never really thought of it this way before but now that you've said it I'll never be able to unthink it, because it's so true.

And can I just say that I am proud to be able to say I had anything to do with this coming into being at all. <3

[erethesunrises]

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! All your support and how excited you are over this makes it all worth it. ♥

That's what these two are to me, really. It's why I love them as much as I do.

Oh, I love you! Well written, hits on every point beautifully! This, this is why I love this ship! :D

[erethesunrises]

Haha, thanks so much! Yeah, I tried to explain as eloquently as I could why I love this ship as much as I do.
