Resurrection by Amari_z (PG)

Fandom: KING ARTHUR (2004)
Pairing: Arthur/Lancelot and a bevy of knights and OC's.
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] amari_z
Author Website: same as above.
Why this must be read: Oh, I could post a book on this story. Why should it be read? Well, one of the best things about the King Arthur fandom is you can take the notion of the AU type of story and go all kinds of crazy with it. [livejournal.com profile] guede_mazaka does one of the best versions of this - and I'll rec her AU later.

Resurrection is a stand alone that spawned an entire verse. I gleefully take credit and/or damnation for "influencing" Amari into writing more. As I mentioned before in Amari's other rec, she does one of the best Lancelot voices I've ever read. He's calculating, angry, controlled and explosive, sweet, young and stupid and adorable and full of issues and he loves/loved Arthur with all the violence their turbulent relationship deserves.

Her Arthur I don't necessarily agree with as much as I do her L (and that's mostly due to me being too much like Arthur and writing him as my primary character in my own stuff), but he's still so ridiculously Arthur (God love the poor sod) that I can't help but worship him too.

In this standalone Amari shows us a look behind the thought What if Arthur was the once and future king - but nobody told Lancelot?

I cannot rec this piece/series enough. Amari does twisty shifting plots and characters like almost no one in this fandom or any other for that matter that I've ever had the horrible pleasure to read.

Take some time and enjoy the story that spawned teh crack known as Resurrection.
