Added DiffLines:

* BetterToKillThanFrighten: A lighter variation where Arthur instructs Merlin to distract the guards, but Merlin ends up knocking them unconscious with his magic.
-->'''Arthur:''' What did you do? I said distract them, not knock them out!\\
'''Merlin:''' ''(beat, stares at Arthur)'' There's just no pleasing you sometimes.

Go Out With A Smile is in TRS. ZCE examples are being removed or commented out. Some examples might be moved to Die Laughing or Dying Smirk.


* GoOutWithASmile: Lancelot ''almost'' manages this:
--> ''"You can do what you want with me. You can do no harm to Guinevere."''

None

Added DiffLines:

* BlackVikings: Downplayed. Heningst easily believes Gwen is Morgana, so clearly the idea of a dark-skinned high born lady isn't unusual to him.


Added DiffLines:

* DamselOutOfDistress: Both Morgana and Gwen are able to escape the first time around. Gwen only gets recaptured because she hurts herself, and urges Morgana to get to safety.


Added DiffLines:

* DeliberatelyDistressedDamsel: Gwen allows herself to be captured instead of trying to keep up with Morgana when she twists her ankle - knowing Morgana will be able to get back to Camelot and organise a rescue party.


Added DiffLines:

* InformedDeformity: Gwen's true identity is outed by having "the hands of a servant girl" - though whenever we see her hands, they look perfectly fine.

* YouShallNotPass: Implied. While Morgana's escaping, Guinevere hurts her ankle. Morgana hands her a sword and keeps running at Gwen's insistence. Gwen hides behind a tree as the bandits approach, then lunges out. We cut to Morgana, who looks back as a man screams.
** AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Did she really twist her ankle, or did she fake it so that Morgana would have time to escape? There's no sign of a limp on Guinevere in the very next scene.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Lancelot's theme.

Misuse. It\'s Genre Savvy, not just \"savvy\".


* GenreSavvy: Lancelot is completely aware of what a LoveTriangle can do, and breaks off the relationship before Guinevere can get in too deep. It's almost like he's read the Arthurian legends.

Badass Damsel has been renamed to Damsel Out Of Distress because distress is necessary


* BadassDamsel: Guinevere, who successfully pulls off a Morgana impersonation and remains calm throughout her captivity.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: YMMV with Morgana, who escapes from the bandits without a scratch on her, yet is discovered by Arthur with several cuts artfully strewn across her face. Did she walk into a tree or something?

* WrongGenreSavvy: Both Lancelot and Arthur think that they're Gwen's sole KnightInShiningArmour. As it turns out, Arthur ends up saving them both, whilst Lancelot is the one that gets the LastKiss and the meaningful HeldGaze.
