Rip my heart out and step all over it why don't you? I'm remembering now why I'm writing a story where Lancelot isn't dead...
Very nice. I love how Arthur reacts to this, and how Lancelot just takes it. Doesn't call him on his callusness until addressed, just stands there and takes it. And I love that Arthur can't let Lancelot go, even when he thinks that's what he wants to do. And even after the confrontation between the two, I love your subtle suggestion that Arthur still doesn't let him go, that he keeps Lancelot there the rest of his life.
It was also refreshing to see a haunting where the haunted character doesn't start acting all weird (a la Gaius Baltar) but just carries on with life.
I tried to tell you, but you never listened. So I tried to give you what you seemed to want. And now I can only talk and talk, and you still don’t listen. Hello, passive aggressive Lancelot! Nice of you to visit. Sheesh. You'd think he'd have learned after 15 years that Arthur isn't very good at expressing what he wants.
Nicely done!
And I hear tell there's more Resurrection on the way. Eeeeexcellent.
