Story Notes:
This is my first attempt at Arthur/Gwen fanfic and I'm trying my hardest to do justice to my love for the characters, and for mythology in general. Many of you might notice several influences that I will attest to: Tolkien, various poets, pop-music, Marion Zimmer Bradley's "Mists of Avalon" etc etc.
