Summary: Arthur’s life is on a self-destructive downward spiral. Only an endless stream of pointless hook-ups and one night stands can distract him from his failures. But then a random hook-up leads to an opportunity to build a new life, and in the process rediscover something he thought he’d lost forever.
Author’s Notes: Written for the
merlin_olympics fest on LJ. So many people to thank! Particular thanks to the wonderful
wanderlust48 for the plot beta and ideas, and to
kitty_fic for running this fabulous fest. I'd also like to thank blazeofglory for writing the fic that started me down this path by giving me so many feeeeeelings, and who has graciously allowed me to write a sort-of-sequel. Blazeofglory, I borrowed your Arthur and Merlin, and muddled up their relationship and break-up, but ultimately I wanted to fix the bloody awful mess that Arthur made all those years ago. Thank you for being so tolerant.
