Overview

Lancelot has loved Arthur for nearly a thousand years but has never had the courage to act on it--'til now. After being away at college for a year, Lance returns to Avalon, Kentucky for the summer. He hasn't seen any of his friends in months, but all that changes when Arthur--the one person he can't have, but desperately needs--offers him a ride home from work. The last time Lance saw Arthur, the two had not parted on the best of terms--with Arthur's father finding them asleep on his bed, and physically wrenching Lance away from Arthur. The incident put a strain on their friendship, and convinced Lance that they will never be together. For the past five years Lance has fought his attraction to Arthur, because as a budding brujo, he believes in magick, destiny, and fate--that everything happens for a reason--that nothing good will come of an Arthur Pendragon-Lance A. Lotte pairing. Then one evening Arthur sends Lance a text, telling him that he's in love with him, forcing Lance to question everything.
