(Tristan, Galahad, Gawain) He'd always been easy to look at, with his fair face and generous curls, but this past year had seen him grow out of the childish beauty he'd clung to longer than the rest. Now there were moments, such as these, where Galahad's

(TristanGalahad) The first time Galahad kills a man, it is at Bors’ full-throated encouragement, roared over the din of the skirmish, and with Arthur’s distant and nearly reluctant approval. Once the dust settles over the victors and the company star

(GalahadTristan) Galahad still had trouble understanding Tristan's quiet voice and the unfamiliar twists of his syllables, and forest things had never spoken to him at all; but Galahad kneeled and watched and listened, scrambling to his feet when Tristan

(TristanGalahad) His hand only ever closes on pretty things: a necklace left behind by a bar maiden; a carved dagger taken from a fallen enemy's carcass; a gold goblet made by Romans, for Romans. Not his but not stolen either, just taken when they were pu

(Arthur) If he rode as fast and as hard as his horse would let him, without stopping for sleep nor food nor fight, Arthur would not reach his beloved Rome but rather the sharp edges of Britain, where ragged cliffs fell into the ocean.

(Lancelot, Gawain) Gawain had a loud, snorting laugh, the kind that came from the belly and doubled you over. He seemed to be having trouble breathing, the insufferable idiot, his blond head down as he half-stood bend in half with both hands propped shak

(Guinevere, Tristan) She didn't turn at the light snap of twigs somewhere in the brushwood behind her, but she had no doubt he was aware that his stealth had failed him.
