Pairings: Arthur/Gwen/Lancelot

Summary: Is sort of based on the Spring Fling prompt by noodlesishere : F-47. 'Gwen is given the vision of what happens to Camelot and Arthur if she chooses Lancelot,' but is more ( Read more... )

So I think my heart just broke into five million tiny pieces. LHARA. HOW IS IS THAT YOU WRITE EVERY GENRE SO PERFECTLY?! OMG, the angst of this piece, the beautiful, breathtaking angst. And I'm ngl, I have a sort of love/hate relationship with Lancelot, but this fic put him firmly in the "love" category (poor guy, just trying to do what he can for Gwen!). Your writing is lovely, especially your use of imagery. I think this fic is tied with "Yours That Shine So Brightly" as my favorite piece you've written. Once again you have blown me away! &hearts

Jennifer...! ♥ I just want to say that ILU!!!! You always know how to put a smile on my face. And aha, ngl, I do really like writing angst!!!

MY relationship with Lancelot is definitely love (SC does things to me!) But yay to putting him in the love category. It was actually nice to write him as a good guy for once.

Your writing is lovely, especially your use of imagery. I think this fic is tied with "Yours That Shine So Brightly" as my favorite piece you've written. Once again you have blown me away! ♥

Your comment has blown me away. Thanks so much, bb!!!! ♥♥♥

So I've been lurking around Camelot Love for the past month (I am lame enough to admitt that I think I may of read like, every fic on there by now 0_0 ) and I've read a lot of amazing stories, but because I don't actually have lj account I haven't bothered to comment (which is a bit selfish of me, because good writing deserves to hear it's praise) but omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg, I just had to comment this because it is just.. wow ( ... )

Well, I'm so glad you decided to comment on this :D (And you should totally get an lj account, because it makes life more fun!!!)

I'm really touched that this story was so emotive for you, that means a lot to me! And that you think it's realistic. I think if Gwen had to end up with Lancelot, I would it to be because she couldn't be with Arthur.

I hope that your exam went well, bb!!! Thanks so much for your lovely comment. *Hugs*

Oh, I think I'm on an angst overload now! You did such an effective job evoking their pain, I actually feel the heaviness in my heart... Wah!

Great exploration of the triangle dynamics -- I'd never considered this "reverse situation" where Gwen is with Lancelot instead and how that would affect everyone.

Thanks so much bb, I'm glad you think so!

It was really interesting to write this reverse situation. Everyone always assumes that Gwen will cheat on Arthur with Lancelot, but I don't think I've seen it considered where she can't actually be with him, so ends up with Lance instead.

Thanks so much for your comment! ♥
