So nice to see some non-Merthur fanwork!

I know I feel like that. ;) Don't get me wrong, I love Merthur, but so much potential exists with the other knights. I read a story recently from the perspective of a fussy servant who disapproved of Merlin then catches Merlin in bed with Arthur so he goes to serve Leon and speculates about finding him with Elyan and disappointingly he doesn't and I was all, oh but I need that. But alas there are only 7 works for that pairing. *sighs*

I definitely read Merthur though very occasionally other pairings (not that there are many created). But mostly I wish there were more gen stories with characters other than Arthur or Merlin as either the center or whose relationship is important to the story. There's so much potential development for the knights, for Gwen, etc.

That's a fair assessment. It's really hard in fandoms that have a monolithic pairing that just dominates all else. There are so many fics but rarely other pairings and gen fic, you'd think that there would be room for everyone but alas. More ensemble fics would be awesome.
