Thank you for the feedback - so glad you like it! Your comments made my day.
Lancelot really is torn in two. He can't abandon Arthur and he can't break his promise to return home. I think Arthur sees him as a friend, a companion, a fellow soldier, someone he occasionally fucks - all those things, but not as a lover. He's not being callous really - he just has no idea what's going on inside Lancelot's head! And Lancelot provokes him, as a way of getting his attention - and because the rough sex that ensues is "better than nothing". And ends up despising himself. Hence the anger that was evident in the film - the "talking to God" comment and the disliking "anything that puts a man on his knees". *eg*
I have the second (and final) part of this existing in my head and half-written on scraps of paper. It's Lancelot/Guinevere - with overtones of Arthur/Guinevere. If I do get round to finishing it, do you know of a good KA fic community I could post it on?
