Oh this is lovely. I love the amtdi trope anyway, and this was a delightful version and this:

“I keep waiting, you know,” Arthur said almost conversationally, as though they were discussing the weather, “for you to tell me the truth. I think to myself, today will be the day. Today he loves me enough.”

sort of breaks my heart a little bit.

Thank you for sharing.

Oh, good (well, not the broken heart, but that it worked for you), because I was worried I was going too angsty at the end, but Arthur just kind of came out with that, and I had to go with it. :) Thank you!

[lamardeuse]

Yay, thanks so much! I was going to make it real when I first thought this out, but then it morphed into this. :)

\o/! I love the idea that duh, of course there are no such things as potions - oh, Gaius. This is really lovely.

[lamardeuse]

Hee, thank you very much! :)
