Gallant, a little ridiculous and very sweet; tell us in your answers whether you want it romantic for an anniversary or full of comic clanking.

Questions about this comic
Can I be the one being rescued?
Of course. Mention yourself in your answers and say in the "anything special" field that you would like to be rescued, or that you would rather do the rescuing. Ask for it romantic for an anniversary, or for gentle teasing if your knight is famously clumsy, and the story ideas we write follow your lead.
Can we include the story of how we met?
Yes. The "anything special" field is made for this: how you met, a nickname, a first-date disaster, a real event. The story is written around what you share, so an awkward coffee shop meeting might become a chance encounter at a royal tournament. You can adjust any line in the editor.
