Oh my, this is beautiful! So tragic and heartbreaking! I love that you were able to get into Arthur's mind, and how he recognizes the layout of those who counsel him. Merlin calling for mercy, Agravaine for bloodshed.

I especially love how he thinks about the constant temptation he faces with having Merlin with him every day. It's so lovely, and yet sad.

Thank you so much for sharing this! :)
