In Which Gwen Has Far Too Many Feelings About Arthur/Guenever/Lancelot
(There was a tumblrmeme which was "give me a ship and I will tell you if I ship it and why/why not." A kind enabler of an anon asked, "OK, what's a ship you love more than anything else that no one has asked you about?" and um. Then this happened.)
Once And Future King (particularly the middle volumes, Ill-Made Knight and Candle in the Wind) is, as far as I’m concerned, an epic poly love story. The thing that makes it a tragedy is that all three of these people love each other so much but live in a society where that possibility wouldn’t even occur to them, or if it did it could wreck the kingdom. Even as-is it basically does destroy the kingdom. I’mma talk a little about each of the sub-relationships within the triad because I have All The Feelings. ( This post is Seriously Long. )
