Summary
A crack ficlet for furloughday in response to the prompt: "5 lines on Uther's hands."

Uther looked down at his gloved hand.
The Dark Lord had promised him a strong new hand, a brighter future.
This hand was a reminder that his future was once his past.
But the only wizard in Camelot was grateful--he was strong now--not a rat, but a destroyer of dragons. His gloved hand, his iron fist--these were the only things that marked him as once weak, but now strong.
