Through the Gates of Camelot

[ladyofthetide]

Uther kneels at his wife’s grave until darkness swallows it up. There’s nothing, now. Camelot and all its promises are broken, shattered into shards and thrown into the sea. His Igraine…gone. Her smile still lives in his mind, glowing with hope and exaltation as she strokes a hand over her swollen belly, pride in her eyes as she guides his hand to

What a lovely character study of Uther and his relationship with Arthur. From the first, the regret and guilt that frames his life are drawn clear. And the way his belief in what is needed to make Arthur a strong prince and future king, create a barrier of reserve, that only Arthur believes is truly there. Complex and clever. Thank you.

this was beautiful.

i'm a newbie to this fandom, but the relationship between arthur and uther is one of my favorite things about the show, and i've been somewhat saddened by the shortage of fic about them.

but there are so many things about this that i love. uther was wonderfully complex (just the way i like him!) and the ending was heartbreaking.

especially the last word.

GUH.

*sniffles*

lovely, lovely work! please write more uther and arthur fics? :D

[ladyofthetide]

Thank you so much! I'm always glad to hear from another Arthur and Uther fan!

As for writing more fic, I definitely plan to. There's too much to explore for me to just leave it at one little drabble! :)

[alexajohnson]

do you mind if i friend you?

i see you're a newbie to el-jay and i'm a newbie to this fandom, and it looks as though appreciate similar things about the show! and i see we have other things in common as well (yay lord of the rings! :D)
