Summary
He sees it all as if in slow motion: Mordred's aborted lunge forward, the flare of his crimson cloak unravelling out behind him; the slash of his hands, gloved and gauntleted, out in front of him to sweep up above his head; the explosion of energy that seems snap out from his skin, flattening his hair to his forehead dragging back his curls and cloak as if Mordred stands in the centre of a raging storm; and finally, those steady grey eyes flashing a lurid, ephemeral gold, like coins gleaming in the middle of his familiar face.
The spear clatters to the ground, wood on stone. But Arthur isn't looking at it- Arthur's looking at Mordred. Mordred, who is the best of his knights; Mordred, who he knighted and trained himself; Mordred, who has just used magic to save his life.
In the Disir's cave, Mordred saves Arthur's life another way, and Arthur is forced to decide between choosing to love or repeating Uther's mistakes.
