Sorry this one is a little late. I have had quite a busy day and almost forgot about it. Thus the reason why I have two spreadsheets dedicated to sorting out my life.

Word Count: 363
Summary: Lancelot and Guinevere (Series 2, Episode 4) rewrite. Unknowing that Arthur and Merlin were on the way to save her, Gwen escapes with Lancelot.
Weirdly, everything went to plan. Lancelot had rescued her from Hengist. She had waited for him and he had taken her from the cell, out of the dungeons and out of the castle. They hadn't stopped running since. They were too scared to stop. Stopping for just one moment may mean that he would catch up with them and they would be back to square one again. They did have to stop when Gwen almost fell over, a shooting pain ripped through her ankle. Lancelot had helped her to an abandoned cottage.
They stayed there for a while. They scavenged in the forest surrounding the area as they waited for Gwen's ankle to heal properly. Gwen wouldn't lie, she did have thoughts about returning to Camelot. She thought about how Morgana, Merlin and Arthur were. She wondered if Morgana had a new handmaiden. But the life that she had with Lancelot just somehow felt right. They moved about and joined a village. They settled there. The feelings that they both had for each other grew more and more and it was clear to see what was going to happen.
The day was perfect and Gwen had wondered why she had held back from him for so long. He wasn't a noble. She could have always had a life with him. They just needed to find the right time and place. They had spoken about returning to Camelot but there was something stopping them. They had gotten use to the life that they had created for themselves. There was no need for Lancelot to use his swordsmanship. There was no need for Gwen to be a handmaiden.
Weeks turned into months and then years. She had married the man that saved her from Hengist. She had carried the children of the man that saved her from Hengist. She would watch him as he would teach his son everything that he knew while she was teaching her daughter to sew. She had always asked her daughter if she wished to join the boys but she always said she was happy to be with her. It turned out that she didn't need Camelot and Arthur. Lancelot was what she needed.
