Oh wow, that is a conclusion that's both powerful and adorable! Heh, the boys are still 'the boys', joking with each other even after the horrible events of the day. And Arthur's instructions to leave the wounds uncovered so everyone can see what the king does to good men, to his own son, was a masterful stroke. I dare say Uther pretty much cost himself not only the love of his son, but his people too (though that might have been frittered away long ago).

I have a feeling that people are going to be counting the days for Uther to finally bite it.

Excellent fic!
