I really enjoyed this. Great job with Merlin finally getting through to Arthur and convincing him to get help from Gwaine.

Oh that was so sweet! It was full of moments I loved! Arthur's rage, then his grief, and in between all of that, the real Arthur who loves Merlin more than anything peeking out. I love that Merlin stayed and didn't leave and didn't judge at all, but at the same time he was determined and helped provide silent support for Arthur to find his own way.
Thank you for filling my prompt! This was lovely to read! Do you have an ao3 link?

I really liked writing Arthur, I'm glad I was able to convey his complex, dark emotions with his love for Merlin peeking out underneath. And I'm happy you loved the support Merlin was determined to providehttps://archiveofourown.org/works/52638067.
