"I am Sir Lancelot Du Lac, a knight of Camelot." Lancelot calls into the emptiness. "I wish to speak with the king of dragons, if he is willing." Lancelot's voice echoes through the chamber, like a whispered wind inside of a long abandoned castle.
"King Arthur?" Lancelot attempts again, his voice far smaller than before.
"I heard your first request, Sir Lancelot." A voice booms throughout the cavern. Lancelot stills and a tremor moves through his body. "I am merely considering whether it is worth my time to consider whether you are being truthful or merely attempting to steal something from me."
---------------------------------------------------------
There are dark works and darker magic at play in Camelot. A tyrant king rules with an iron and bloody fist, striking down any who oppose his cruelty. Sir Lancelot has never been one to stand down when faced with corruption and he will stand for it no longer. His mother, Lady Nimue, would tell stories of the king of dragons, King Arthur, and how his past was spent protecting the kingdom of Camelot before his disappearance.
Perhaps a desperate knight with a deal can pull him back into a world that needs him.
Maybe they kiss a little too.

The Experiment (Kingsman Eggsy x Reader)[1]
"Let's face it, Galahad, your little experiment failed." "Guinevere." Galahad continued, ignoring Arthur's remark. "She has a younger sister, and I believe if they share the same blood, than perhaps she might be the best candidate to step into her sister's shoes." There was silence while Arthur considered his options, then he finally said, "Alright. Let's see how well this experiment goes, compared to your previous one." __________________________________________________________________ (Y/N) is nothing like her sister, the Kingsman "Guinevere", or her father, a deceased soldier who fought with Harry Hart in their prime. She doesn't do 'teamwork', and she couldn't give a shit about saving the world even if it hit her in the face. She stopped trying to be like her sister years ago. She's what everyone, including herself, would call a delinquent now; an outcast of what is left of her broken family. But when the only person she had left dies attempting a rescue mission in Argentina, she might just have to change the way she sees herself. Perhaps with a little help from a frustratingly likable street kid with an odd name. ___________________________________________________________________ Reader meet Eggsy.

Passerine - Arthurlot
Lancelot knew trying to ascend the ranks of Knighthood wouldn't be easy. Not because of his capabilities, no, it was due to his nature. He was a creature born of a Hawthorne tree who couldn't speak a lie and had blood of pure gold. He was fae; he couldn't be trusted. That's what the council believed, at least. The king, on the other hand? ---- "You would be fulfilling a knight's duty by being my guard, yes," Arthur leaned forward just a bit more, his elbow resting on his knee as his free hand propped up his chin, "However, to the rest of the castle you would be a... well, let's say concubine." Or// Lancelot gets the pretty princess treatment

Lancelot Allen Rinesileth was a son of rich merchant. He was considered to be one of the respectable and knowledgeable person of his era. He was excellent in all of his academics however he's average on physical education. He was able to achieved the top spot of being a top honor student on the prestige and noble school: Royal Academy within his batch despite being just a son of businessman (not by the nobles or royalties). He loves reading books and a curious person that's why he obtained his knowledge. He acquire this status he have now just for a one objective: To serve under the Princess of the Yellow Kingdom. He easily got the position of being her personal servant and adviser not just because of his possessed achievements but because he got one thing that interest the Princess very much.

A story of a martyr who sacrifices everything for the person he holds dearest. A story of unmeasurable love, of sorrow, of madness, and of defying destinies. "A beautiful nightmare."Complete
