THIS.

Ship Of Dreams 1/3 (warning: character death)

[anonymous]

The man was nuts, obviously so, but even idiots didn’t deserve to go overboard. So Gwaine told him he’d dive after him if he jumped. And the man didn’t jump. An honourable one, then, one who didn’t want to be responsible for other people’s deaths. That was kind of nice, he supposed, and kind of admirable as well. Mostly, though, he was just glad he’d been able to get through to the guy

Ship Of Dreams 2/3

Arthur liked to sing, he told Gwaine. Loved making music, which was fairly respectable in his father’s eyes, but only using instruments. Singing was not. Neither was liking controversial art. Did Arthur mention he liked art? The colourful, meaningful kind, anyway? The kind with feeling? Why couldn’t he stop talking when he was around Gwaine? What was Gwaine doing to him? It was making him a bit giddy, and maybe a bit giggly as well. Also, he could stand on his toes

Ship Of Dreams 3/3

Gwaine moved on easily. Had done so all his life.

Tears were wept for him. But strength was drawn from the legacy he left behind.

And when Arthur Pendragon reached America, he went his own way, lived his own life, lived it fully, and was in charge of every good and bad step he took. He lived, danced, loved and kissed, exactly like Gwaine once hoped he would.

The Ship of Dreams, they called it.

And it was. Oh, it was.

Oh.My.God.

This was incredibly poignant. This is as heart wrenching as the movie never was for me. Ouch, but in a horribly good way.

And the last two lines. Ugh, you killed me, anon.

Perfect, in every way.

Thank you!

The movie did break my heart, so you basically just gave me the biggest compliment imaginable. *blushes*

Again, thank you so much for your lovely comment!

I loved the perfunctory style of this, kind of like how Gwaine lived. Brief, but got the point across. This aches in all the right ways, and I love the epilogue of how Gwaine affected Arthur and taught him how to live for the rest of his life. Amazing work!

Thank you. I was unsure about the style, but there wasn't another way in which I could tell this tale (without turning it into a big bang-like story, that is). I'm glad the points I wanted to make came across. Thanks so much for your comment.

That was heartbreaking and wonderful.
