Searching for some Arthur-centric fics

[willievergradua]

Hi guys! 1. Just wondering does anyone have any hurt!Arthur + protective! knights/Uther/Merlin recommendations? Or it could be just hurt!Arthur dub-con/non-con fic. (Sorry Arthur, I'm a bad person:(

2. Also I'm looking for fics in which Arthur lives a miserable life (either living on streets or being abused) until someone who remembers their past

I guess my fic, The Tower might be a match for 1 (and also sort of 3?), if you don't mind self recs :)

Not at all!! You are one of my favorite writers in this fandom!!!

Aw, thank you ❤️ I had a look through some of my bookmarks and one of my favourite hurt!Arthur fics is Bring the Sun Back by pushdragon; fair warning, it contains some dark themes that aren't tagged (including somewhat graphic scenes of bloodletting IIRC), but it's beautifully written and the angst is sooo good.

Also A Disarming Act of Loyalty by barbitone, if you haven't read that already!
