Wonderly Wroth

by Yolande Kleinn

Arthur knows he is destined to die at Camlann. But when the Lady Merlin enlists a powerful enchantment to save him—an enchantment to tether Arthur's life to Lancelot's—the magic carries unintended consequences. Lancelot's strength could be Arthur's salvation, but what of the deeper connection that now binds the king to his most loyal knight? The connection is only temporary, but when Arthur learns the truth of Lancelot's feelings for him, their friendship could change forever.

Well written, but I wish there was more of it. This felt more like an epilogue than a short story.

I liked this Arthur/Lancelot short.

I am such a sucker for the magically bound to save life and then emotions are shared, revealing dual pining and unrequited love ....trope. Okay, that's not really a trope, but I adore the set up!

I liked that they both had little flares of jealousy over past lovers, but it was small and didn't detract from anything.

This felt like a snippet from a longer book, and wow would I love to read a longer story about these two and their slow burn pining.

Nicely written short story. I really enjoyed it but it just felt like I missed out on something. It almost assumes you have a good understanding of Arthurian legends to piece together the backstory on Arthur’s and Lancelot’s relationship.

Life giving spell draws Arthur and Lancelot together in a passionate short story of their first time together. Supernatural elements are well written and the smut is descriptive without being graphic. Bonus point for a female Merlin.
