;__; Poor Arthur. I like you kept that anchor of reality such as the neighbours, the plastic bowl, and how they contrast with the fantasy feeling of nightmares. I also like the inclusion of background history, and the different interpretations of the dragon. And Canada being the voice of reason is lovely too.

A nicely thought out fic. Happy (belated now) Birthday, Arthur. ♥

I think I may have partially based this on the fact that 40% of Britons don't actually know who Saint George is or why he's the patron saint of England.

Which is really, really bad.

I guess it's akin to someone forgetting your birthday.

Of course!

Though sometimes, I suppose his bad dreams include France trying to molest him too...

Ouch! Poor Arthur! It´s interesting to see how the things have different meanings - how oblivious Alfred it to the fact that his notes won´t mean anything, if he´s not there...

And I loved, loved, LOVED this line Some part of him realises it is all the threats that have ever been, from the icy colour that makes him think of the Norsemen to the familiar blue of Francis’s eyes. That was gorgeous.

I feel really bad torturing Arthur like I do.

Poor boy.

Thank you >^.^< I rather like that line too, but god knows where it came from.
