:D I think your observations are very interesting (and they fill me with a childish glee, I'll admit).

Arthur has a rather unfortunate tendency to only let himself see what he wants to see, and Lancelot, let's just say that he's been burned before. Together they are not exactly the best pair to form a healthy relationship. Add to that the male tendency not to talk to each other, and, well, yeah.

I'd probably add a cautionary note that I think I've been a little opaque about Arthur's motivations, so it might be easier to view him as the bad guy at this point.

I’m really thrilled that you’re enjoying the story so much, even if the word count is getting a little scary. As long as someone is still interested in reading, I'll no doubt keep writing (if slowly).
