@Zolataya Yeah, that would probably be the sort of thing that would result in things not going so well. 
(Though I am trying to include at least one possible little romance moment with Lancelot in each of the three branches, at least if Guen can manage to be relatively alone with him, which may turn out to be less likely than it sounds.)
Oh, and Gawain in SGGK is the best. Polite, honorable, humbleā¦ well worth crushing on. 
I ask that about my life all the timeā¦ (not really, but maybe I will now.)
Yeah, I like that idea. If it happened, it would probably be in part 5, where I intend to show the various possible relationships at their most stable. I could imagine Guen and Arthur talking about when they were first married, and how they both felt at the time.
Mostly he just wanted a wife who didnāt hate him. I donāt think he had a really specific idea of a dream-girl, but of course heād hope that she loved Britain as much as he did, and that sheād want to be queen and to be married to him, and support his vision. Secondary desires would be that sheād be really pretty and want to have lots of sex and babies, but, as weāve seen, heās able to get used to the idea of the latter not happening, even if it is a disappointment for him. In his somewhat adolescent way, the best wife he could imagine would be a female clone of himself, but it never occurred to him that she might be interested in battles.
All Lancelot has ever wanted was a deep, passionate, and lifelong romance, like what his mothers have. Heās always been open to that kind of romance happening with anyone, and back when he was more innocent, he would have loved the idea of it happening with the last person anyone would expect (least of all him). Unlike Arthur, who was probably hoping for a clone of himself, Lancelot would dream of someone different from himself, someone who would challenge and surprise him. He can find something beautiful and interesting in just about anyone. By the beginning of part 1, that openness has taken him into some questionable territory, but it started out as a more admirable trait.
As for Morgana, her dream partner would be someone who supports her, and who appreciates her support. Sheās always tried hard to be a good person, but the world hasnāt made it easy for her, and her efforts tend to go unappreciated. The main reason sheās so loyal to Arthur is that he does see her as a good person. Morganaās not very romantic, but she does dream of having a partner who really is a partner; someone who would work alongside her to make good things happen.
I had to stop reading the books, and never watched the show. GRRM deserves a lot of credit for making so many great characters, but I just canāt handle the pessimism. Yes, the ārealā world can be a terrible place where terrible things happen to good people, but I believe there is always room for hope, and fiction is one of our greatest reminders of that. A story with no sense of hope has no appeal for me.
Oh Arthurā¦and he genuinely thinks heās being so open mindedā¦sigh.

sarcastic smirk I donāt like hope in books mostly. I want chaos, charisma,passion, murders and poetry. Hope is boring and bland. Shakespeare gruesomes dramas!! Everyone dies in a poisonous betrayal
