Rating: PG
Warnings/Spoilers: None
Pairings: Gwen/Arthur implied Gwen/Lancelot
Disclaimer: Not for profit. Merlin belongs to BBC/Shine 
Summary: A vow not easily kept

Note: I know that this is similar in theme to the excellent [livejournal.com profile] wordmythology entry “faithless” but wordmythology said it would be interesting to have another take on it, so here it is


“To love him, honour him, in health and in sickness, as a wife should a husband, forsaking all others to keep thee only unto him, so long as you both shall live?”
Gwen looks at Arthur. She has always loved him. Her respect for this new king knows no bounds. She has already taken care of him when he is sick and nothing will ever change her compassion for him.
But forsaking all others? Lancelot is watching her, his eyes all but burning into her flesh.
“I do.”
To keep only unto him is the one vow she can’t keep.
