Fantastic, abosolutely fantastic. I love your writing style which is to the point and yet poetic. This is such a well-rounded fic, that I don't know where to begin. My biggest compliment is that it was balanced. It contained just the right amount of romance, action, drama and angst. If you write another story as half as good as this one, it'll still be in my top ten. Bravo. PS, if you're interested, stop in to The Slash Forum under KA. It'd be great to have a A/L shipper there!

A wonderful end for a wonderful story! I am very satisfied with the way you tied things up. I'll miss finding this story updated, but really it ended just perfectly. You did a really great job on this and should be super proud. You should also write another story, and it should be just as fantastic. No pressure though ;*)

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving this story such a beautiful ending :-).

There are no more loose ends, no unanswered questions, no issues left that still need to be dealt with... and Athur and Lancelot's relationship has been firmly secured.
Both of the men so deserved this after all you have put them through ;-)!!

You also succeeded well at placing those few special lines and words at the end ("...and he forgot the world, and the thoughts, and himself. There existed only them. Only Arthur and Lancelot. Only them... Perfection... Finally.") that make a reader feel completely satisfied and think: "Ah! All is still well with the universe!" :-D!.

This proves to me that you are a good writer, who still has plenty of potential left to grow even more in the writing of fanfiction or stories in general. You do have talent, so let me encourage you to further develop this talent. Perhaps in a new story sometime? I for one would certainly read it.

There couldn't have been a better way to end this story, so I'll end by congratulating you for your work, and by thanking you for taking the time to write this story and give it to us.

It has been a pleasure, and maybe I'll see you again in here in the near future :-).

Until that time: take care!

Perfect ending! This is a love/angst story that I won't soon forget. I am looking forward to more from you. And hopefully with this pair.

It's nice to know that although everything seemed so dark, the story ended on a hopeful note.

I wonder if Arthur would ever welcome the chance to let Lancelot be on top? *laughs*

I apologize if I came across rather bitchy in my last review. That wasn't my intent, and I tend to be...blunt.

As for Raul's death...? I was imagining a scenario in which he was tied to the same post as Arthur (just a few chapters ago), and Lancelot gleefully castrated him in the most painful ways possible before beheading him in shame before all the Romans. But I wasn't as bothered by Tristan being the one to kill him as I thought I would be, because he struck me as a sort of protector of Arthur and Lancelot's personal little world--so it was rather poetic that he be the one to destroy this depraved invader that had tried to break the two apart. (Or am I just being overdramatic?)

*smiles* So yes, I enjoyed your story very much (and you seem to be one of the few King Arthur writers that actually finished the fic). I really look forward to seeing more of your stories. ^_^

I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! *does happy dance on Rauls grave* I knew it had to be a trick!... though I was a little worried there for awhile... Go Tristan! And go Jansen, he's the cutest character ever! Was this the last chapter? I'd hate to see this end, but it would be a nice place for it. Lancelot and Arthur seem so happy... An epilogue maybe?

Okay. *blows out breath* That was some ending. Raul's that is. I did such the happy dance when I read this chapter. 1. Because I knew Tristan WASN'T a traitor! 2. You gave Gawain such a touching moment with the boy. Enough I think that any ill will we felt towards Gawain was lifted.

And Arthur's words to the boy at the end was wonderful. To give him the bit of encouragement. Yes, that man does think of others before himself. Oh. Him giving Lancelot the ring was superb. For that chapter was so touching. You pretty much summed up their love for each other in that chapter.

You asked if the last chapters were okay. Yes. The most absolutly were. You've built the suspese up, I was looking forward to the slaughter that you gave us.

I was surprised that you didn't let Lancelot off Raul. I think that a good move on your part. Something in me says that Lancelot wouldn't be happy if he was the one who actually killed that foul man. What he did by protecting the boy was the right thing. Almost having Lancelot think of someone else before himself. Here, Lancelot has shown us how much he has grown by letting Tristan do the work.

Yay! Tristan rocks! Had to put that in there! You gave him such a spotlight in this chapter! *squee!*

Is this the end of this tale? Will there be others? I can just imagine what Guinevere would do and think if she knew about Arthur and Lancelot. She's such a sceming wench that I want to wring her neck most times. What's gonna happen with Gawain? Is he back in the better graces of the others? Will he have a thing with Galahad? Or what would you do should Lancelot die like he did at the end of the movie?

This was such a great chapter. I felt myself blow out a breath, knowing that Raul was gone and our men could finally find their peace.

Well done.

My sincere congratulations with this chapter, my friend! It was exactly what was needed after the 40 pervious ones.

After the endearing scene with Gawain and Jansen, you elegantly led the story into the battle I had been anticipating for a few chapters now, and the way it turned out was very much acceptable. So rest assured: you did really well.

I absolutely LOVED how Lancelot chose to go help and protect the young lad, instead of letting his lust for vengeance and blood take over and going for Raul. This does the character of Lancelot much justice, as it made him not be a mindless killer seeking only revenge, but still a human caring about other humans that are in need of help. Very weel-done with this one!

So yes, the way "Raul was dealt with" is fully acceptable. Maybe a capture and some vicious torture would have been pleasant to read as well ;-), lol, but (following the virtues and values of that time) a low-life like him only deserved what Tristan gave him. Indeed, had he stayed alive, in all probability he would have used his position and authority to save his own arse and get back at Lancelot and Arthur once again.

I enjoyed reading this new chapter of yours, and if there is still a next one to come, then I will defenitely be there to read it. There's still some space left to give it at least onemore sequel, so...

Thank you for writing and for the entertainment, and congratulations on the results of your work.

Yours,

P.S.: No worries on the grammatical errors! I am certain that you're giving it your best, and as said before: your story is more than engrossing enough to make my mind automatically correct any mistakes I might come across. So you are fully forgiven for any mistakes that might still sneak into your writings.

It took me over three bloody hours to get through this story, all at once. Damn you for writing such an engrossing story! *grins*

There are a few things I'd like to point out. When Sabra was using the bottle of alcohol...well, fifth-century Britons didn't have those. And katanas, or samurai-swords, would have been entirely unheard of.

The largest mechanical error I've found is the misuse of quotation marks and the separation of speakers in conversation. It was kind of distracting and confusing, but then I've garnered a reputation of being anal about English.

I do hope Lancelot will be the one to strike the killing blow against Raul. I want that Roman bastard to suffer... *infuriated glare*

Yeah! update! Awe, that was a sweet little moment. I also like the parallel between Arthur and Tristan at the ends of this chater and the one before, how Arthur says Tristan will be the deceiding factor and vise versa for Tristan. Really good. Keep up the good work.

Oh my... that was so incredibly romantic, Arthur giving Lancelot that ring / band!! It really made me gasp and got me a little teary-eyed.

But it's only silence before the storm... I can only hope that horrifyingly annoying Raul's arse will get kicked without mercy!! :-D
And I think it must be obvious by now that Arthur and Tristan are up to something. The thought of Tristan becoming a traitor in this story has never crossed my mind.

Post the next chapter soon, please, AND I HOPE that I will not be the only one reviewing this chapter! Come on people, give KnightGuardian something for his / her work !

Cheers and until next time,

Still a lovely story 8*D I can't beleive Tristan is that evil, it's got to be some kind of trick...

Good God!

I have just re-read my first review on your story, and I can't believe my stupidity in that one paragraph!!
"These last two chapters don't seem to fit in the flow... more clarity will surely follow..."?

I must have been quite tired or something typing that review, because off course the last two chapters completely fit within the entore story, and especially the last one is a beautiful portrayal of what Arthur and Lancelot mean to each other.

"She didn't know if that was incredibly sad, or unbelievably romantic."
It couldn't have been said better...

My apologies for that utterly weird comment on ch. 37 and 38. Must have been a moment of confusion.

Yours sincerely,

Then again, I'm only a non-native English-speaker, so who am I to say anything about spelling and grammar errors.

So, never mind those particular comments of mine and only consider the ones behind those :-).
