[march 1] [arthurian] the waiting years
Title: the waiting years
Day/Theme: 1. a witch without love was dangerous
Series: Arthurian
Character/Pairing: Morgause, Mordred, Arthur
Rating: PG
Arthur insists the boy winters at court with the rest of his brothers. Morgause argues Mordred is too young to be without his mother, but Arthur will not be swayed. He tells her that she is welcome to make the journey as well now that Lot is dead.
It is a neat trap: Arthur knows full well she will never come to court if she must bow and scrape and yield precedence to Leodegrance’s milksop miss.
So, as the last leaves of autumn fall, she fastens a vengeance charm about Mordred’s neck and sends him south on Orkney’s fastest ship.
