The Chronicles of the Round Table (edited by Mike Ashley)
Another Mike Ashley edited collection. Each short story is dedicated to one arthurian chapter.

arthurian au idea #25: discovering the past
Gabriel is a literature professor who starts to think that there is more in his past that he'd like to admit. Strange dreams, memories coming from nowhere, flashes of swords and holy cups. He travels through libraries, page after page, trying to find out the answers to his questions. Morris is a swordman, once son of King Arthur and a teacher of the sport during his free time, he mostly deals with enthusiastic arthurian tourists during his bartender job in Tintagel. When he meets Gabriel he already knows what the other man is looking for but looking the once and future Galahad discovering his past is not as fun as he tought when he realizes that Gabriel's opinion of him may change the more he finds out about Mordred. The more he knows Gabriel, the more time he spends with him, the more desperate he is in his attempts to distract Gabriel from his search.
James Norton as Galahad/Gabriel; Daniel Bruhl as Mordred/Morris
So I like old movies and classic movies and sometimes I think "Look at her/him, a perfect *insert arthurian character here*!" so this started as a "movies of the 30s and 40s" and simply became "all the old movies!" arthurian dreamcast. Sorry.
