Aw, that was a wonderful exploration of what was going through Gwen's mind during that time. I love her turmoil and her inner despair and I particularly love this line,
Walking over to tend to a wounded boy she wonders, dimly, how long it will take until the image of Arthur’s knowing smile fades from her memory; how long until she can no longer remember the feel of his beating heart beneath her palm. She wonders when she will finally allow herself to recognize this loss - for herself and for the kingdom they both so dearly love. That's such a wonderful image!

And thanks for the Latin lesson, lol. Wonderful piece, bb! <3

Thank you so much, bb!! I've always loved writing character exploration pieces, so I'm beyond thrilled that you liked it. <3

LOL. I will ALWAYS be available for Latin lessons. So long as you expect to learn no more than five phrases, that is. (And one may or may not be from Harry Potter. XD)

This was sweetly gorgeous bb. I like that it was more an explanation/exploration of Gwen rather then a story or . . . you know what i mean XD I felt bad for Gwen, thinking him dead and gone already, but i think you must be right - it was pretty hopeless.

But what got to me most:

she wonders, dimly, how long it will take until the image of Arthur’s knowing smile fades from her memory; how long until she can no longer remember the feel of his beating heart beneath her palm.

*SIGH* . . . my god the wistfulness (and ANY reference to THAT scene) ♥!

I really love the way you write and I totes have future plans on making you write my prompts ♥

(and I probably will end up bouncing ideas and pieces of unfinished fic off you if I get stuck much longer, and you will regret offering XD I promise)

AND HEE, that's my icon above. I MADE THAT. Randomness is cool.

Thank you so, so much, bb!! I'm a big fan of character explorations but haven't written one in YEARS, so I'm ridiculously excited that you enjoyed it

I totes have future plans on making you write my prompts ♥

OMG. DO I NEED TO RUN AND CHANGE MY LJ OR SOMETHING SO YOU CAN NEVER FIND ME? *COWERS* :-P

(and I probably will end up bouncing ideas and pieces of unfinished fic off you if I get stuck much longer, and you will regret offering XD I promise)

Hee!! I DEFINITELY will not regret it. Looking forward to the barrage of PMs! <3
