good things snape did:
- ship wolfstar
- kill dumbledore
- die
Those left in Camelot feel Merlin’s absence like a shard of ice through the heart, and Lancelot’s second letter makes things a million times worse:
TW: BIG tw for Suicide attempt. Drug addiction/self-harm recovery. PTSD-like symptoms.

Camelot:
- The first week flies by. At least it does for Arthur.
- He had refused to take on another permanent manservant during Merlin’s… sickness, only allowing George into his room for necessary chores only: delivering and removing food, laundry, etc. He is not permitted to serve, as it were, and he certainly never stays longer than he absolutely has to. Which means Arthur actually has to learn to tidy and organise and stoke his own fires and turn down his own bed and sort his own itinerary.
- He uses it as a distraction, and whilst it works just fine for the first couple of weeks after Elyan had stumbled upon Merlin’s not-really-secret-just-ignored problems, the better Arthur gets, the quicker he gets, and the more he notices Merlin’s absence. He feels guilty for not taking it in sooner, but he supposes he got used to Merlin not really being… present, months ago. And oh, if that doesn’t just bring the guilt back full force.
