Notes: I wrote this ages ago and forgot all about it until I watched The Frogs and The Lobsters again recently. It's just a sort of small "missing scene" that adds to Just A Man.

OH ARCHIE.

*hugs him*

*pushes him into Horatio's hammock, so he can find out that he's still loved*

*sniffles*

This. Poor good Archie. Archie who never thought that he was good.

Thank you, Anteros, for posting tonight.

Archie is still struggling at this point. Struggling badly. I think this is a pivotal point in his relationship with Horatio though and ultimately they arrive at a place where they have a more equal relationship.

I didn't think I'd have time to post anything this week as I was travelling for work. But I got back to my hotel earlier than expected on Monday evening so it was a rare chance to finish some fic.

Poor Archie - conditioned by earlier events to think he was not chosen or wanted and so believing the worst]
very sad - and so likely here in that moment
the return of Anteros fic is greatly to be welcomed - even if they are sadfic at the moment...

In many ways Archie still hasn't left France. He gets there, but it takes time.

the return of Anteros fic is greatly to be welcomed
A rather unexpected return! Product of a quiet evening away from home.

even if they are sadfic at the moment...
Erm, yes, sorry about that.... :}
