The thing about Camilla Hect is that she's Lancelot but we see almost nothing of her relationship with Guinevere. But also we do know that she's the one person Dulcinea thought might realize Cytherea was a fraud, and also iirc Camilla brings up whether Dulcinea will recognize them immediately before she stops existing. Of course she loves where Palamedes loves, and that's probably both a sublimation of her feelings about him and a natural consequence of those feelings - quoth Gideon, she's his sword, his right hand, an extension of his very self - but she wants to be seen by Dulcinea. Dulcinea believes Cam sees her. Their relationship is attached to their connections with Palamedes but still distinct from those connections until Cam and Pal disappear so completely into each other they stop existing. What I'm saying is that I think Dulcie should haunt Paul both literally and figuratively.

#tbh I think the cam/pal fic ive tried so far has failed me because it doesn't lean hard enough into the deranged fealty kink of it all #which is not to say that has to be a key component of their thing for other people but it is to me personally #but also the traditionally homoerotic but in this case extremely bisexual dynamic of being in love with your best friends' girl #anyway it's not that I think pal knows dulcie less it's that he's going to be too busy respecting the apparent rejection to #analyze it #my darlings!!!#I sometimes internally rail at Tazmuir for leaving the good stuff in the margins but there is so much good stuff #anyway dulcie! she clearly knew cam and pal were an absolute package deal but was she prepared for this package #I hope to find out
