The SOUND I made when I found this had been updated -- I've taken to reading fic on my long train commute, and this made my whole morning.

I'm so relieved to have this ending, I know you struggled with it but it really is magical. You've always been so true and honest with your stories about recovery, and this is no different. I want to wrap myself up in their trust and settle there for years. <3

Also, also also also:

“Sorry for scaring you,” says Arthur, after a moment.

“I fucking grieved for you. I thought I'd never have you back. And when I thought I might, you told me to leave. You're fucking everything to me, Arthur..."
