Thanks so much for reading (again). I have a good sense of where I want to go with Days in Summer, one other fic for this pairing on the back burner, and then random vignettes that my brain might generate and which might fit into the continuity of either longer piece.
Both of them carry different kinds and extents of damage and emotional baggage, and it is great to see them dealing with it and helping each other deal with it in a surprisingly functional relationship. So glad you appreciate that. I feel like these two really could help each other and balance each other out, so I'm glad the way I try to convey it seems to work for you. :)
Lastly: 1) thanks re the song titles! Those were fun to pick out, and 2) hehe, I actually wrote the third vignette as a peace offering to this naughty part of my brain that totally wanted to write an AU fic for this movie set when Arthur's young in which that's basically what happens. That story will (and should) probably never see the light of day, but I've been able to cannibalize my having thought about that possibility to inform my actual writing in this fandom. Again, I'm really glad you think this is working; thanks so much for commenting!
