" ...I think hunting a man for sport would fix me."
"You say the most worrying things."
"Whaaat?"
"You just stared at me for a solid five minutes without blinking and then said that."
"I reckon it would, though."
"Nothing could fix you."
Okay, I have four, actually three tag games to answer today, and I'm going to answer all three. I love tag games and tag me in whatever you want. (unless it's spam about Gaza. I get these every day and that's why I closed my ask box.)

In time, all books will be added to my Retellings List or Medieval Literature List respectively, and possibly a third page for handbooks/informational resources. Retellings may be under construction for a bit as I reformat to accommodate the influx in links. There are some duplicates—Alan Lupack's and Mike Ashley's anthologies occasionally contain a one-off story I've otherwise included in an individual volume of collected works by the author.
Links connect to corresponding PDFs on my Google drive where they can be read and downloaded for free. But if you like what I do, consider supporting me on Ko-Fi. I haven't yet read these listings in full; I cannot attest to their content or quality. A big thank you to @wandrenowle for the help collecting!

Gawain is so happy to see his horse again that he feels better from his battle wounds and his horse is so happy it friend-bites him.
This is adorable.

Squirrel is especially forbidden from having knives or any blades around. As well as Alcohol. That damn child sure do his name.
This is giving Squirrel Gawain and Lancelot vibes.
Gawain; What have you got there?
Squirrel, having stolen one of Lancelot's five-million-and-three knives; A KNIFE!
Gawain and Lancelot, simultaneously; --NO!

Tagging @beginning-writer 'cause I think this will make you laugh
self-love/self-hate
So i was feeling strangely horny this days and i did what any normal person would do. Called on my boyfriend? No. I wrote a completely new one shot of Gawain and Lancelot having sex without much lore instead of finishing the fic I'm writing.
One of them is a virgin.
And.
Gawain.
The 8 year old was Mordred.
Poor Hector. While Gareth wants to escape his Scottish family, Hector is... happy? Yeah happy, but has to deal with his crazy/autistic French family.
I think we should have more Hector des Mares. Can we have more Hector des Mares or more of the Du Lac family being a family?
