"Then, miraculously, early in the morning, there’s this ray of sunlight appearing on this wall in front of him. And it falls through the little tree in front of the window. There is this play of leaves and sunlight and shadows moving, and he looks at it and stares at it and he starts crying, because he’s never seen anything so beautiful. He probably has seen it, but he hasn’t noticed. Then he realizes that’s the answer to his existential crisis, to become somebody who notices that."

It's Old May Day, and as promised, here's the Four of Pentacles from the never-completed Tarot deck, Mordred at the end of the Battle of Camlann (he is described at the end of Malory, Le Morte D'Arthur, as "leaning on his sword among a great heap of dead men"). Discerning readers of The Lion Hunters will recognize his physical depiction here as matching that of Medraut, and the VERY discerning among you will guess, or be entertained to know, that he is intentionally standing here among a great heap of dead Lleus. I am struggling a bit to remember who they all are. I *think* the one with his arm over the rock is Gwyn from Alan Garner's The Owl Service. The one with the flowing golden locks is certainly Lleu Llaw Gyffes of the Fourth Branch of the Mabinogion. I *think* that the one on the right is an early gender-fluid boy-magician character of mine named Lleu Enle, and the shiny-haired guy in the lower left is Lleu ap Artos. I also have always felt that they might not actually be dead, but posing. Lleu Llaw Gyffes just doesn't look like he's taking this seriously. Happy birthday, my marksman!

Heated Rivalry is a closed door hockey romance in the sense that they fade to black on the hockey. The sex is explicit, but the hockey is implied.

in the category of "the underdogs," our winners are ......... Francis Crawford and Adam Blacklock!

and in the category of "Who Needs Lymond," our winners are ...... Philippa Somerville and The Narrative!

Now, it is time to truly answer the question. "Romance" here is intended to mean the genre, but you don't need to listen to me. Please feel free to make your cases.

only half an hour left to vote about this!

will it be...

Lymond/Jerott... reunion of friends gone poorly, endearments, a concussion, baby chicks, multiple unnecessary wrestling matches, a promise, and a sweet moment of resolution that actually sticks. Also they're both alive at the end.

Lymond/Adam... do it for Adam Blacklock! You've drawn me hundreds of times. So much understanding! (no offense to Jerott. actually plenty of offense to Jerott <3) They're also both alive at the end. Great.

or

Philippa/The Narrative ... Philippa Somerville narration is HERE and she is making plot relevant decisions! And she also lives of course, wow everyone here is doing really great for a Lymond book. She's also the best.
