"He thinks about the Arthur he knows, who is constantly fighting a losing battle against a sin which makes him feel happier and safer than anything else in the world." - God, I can see that. That moment is really clear, with Arthur's split eyebrow and all that Big Giant Angst. It's shit like that that makes boxing seem like a good career move. Beating out your anger on someone else, getting punished for someone else's amusement. Gods above.
"Merlin strokes Arthur’s ring finger, tracing the spot where a wedding band may one day sit," - Way to drive the point home there, sex+angst+injustice
These guys kill me. In a good way, I am completely dead.
Yeah, I really enjoyed getting the chance to write Arthur as a boxer, even if it was just fleetingly. He's a really complex and interesting character :) and I'm so thrilled that you picked out the wedding band line!! I don't know if many other people noticed that but it was very deliberate on my part (especially with all the equal marriage legislation in the news at the moment).
Thank you so much for reading and for this really thoughtful comment! Sorry about killing you though...
