Oh wow, that really hurts. It's beautiful though, I love this side of Arthur that you've decided to express :)

Thank you so much! It wasn't quite what I had planned, it just kind of came out of nowhere!

"All he could do was force a smile on his face and pretend that he wasn’t dying of loneliness on the inside. He laughed and he joked when the time was right, all the while hoping that someone noticed his smile didn’t reach his eyes. "

So sad for Arthur. Let's hope Merlin notices the eyes not smiling soon...excellent writing, showing his emotions.

That was so sad. I loved how perceptive Arthur was and yet so lonely. Great job.
