Oh man, I think I've paired everyone with everyone on the show. I once even accidentally had a dream about Arthur/Uther (if only because the idea of Anthony and Bradley together is really f-ing hot). Morgana/Gwen are my primary female pairing because they had really fantastic chemistry that first season and part of the second. Even when Gwen was going behind her back they still managed to pull off a bit of chemistry. *shrugs ( ... )

Omg, how did I forget Morgana/Gwen? I love Morgana/Gwen. They're totally adorable in seasons one and two. And then Morgana was brainwashed and Gwen spent all of two seconds feeling sad about it. -____- That really upset me. We get all this focus on Arthur's man pain over Morgana's betrayal and Gwen barely even hesitates about which side she's on. Granted, neither did Arthur, but at least we got to see him mourn the loss of the girl he thought he knew. Gwen was just like, "Oh, my former lover close friend has turned against us, guess I better go warn the boys. lol" FAAAAAIL. She would have been sad about it. She would have tried to convince Morgana that what she was doing was wrong. She would have tried to help her. It makes me sad. And it's not Angel's fault, of course. She does well with what's given to her. Read: NOT ENOUGH.

if only because the idea of Anthony and Bradley together is really f-ing hotPaha! Agreed. I still lol at what darkeyedwolf said when she first started watching the show: "I can't decide which is sexier: Arthur ( ... )
