Summary: When Arthur agrees to meet Gwen's new boyfriend Lance and his group of friends he never expected it to include Merlin. It's been nine years since they broke up, but the memories are still raw. Pretending that they don't know each other seems like the best idea, until it's not.

You painted me as the villain, but my limerence was rooted in trauma

what is diavolo's most commonly relatable trait i wonder

[guavagyal]

I'm always so reflective about my past relationships when I'm on my period. I don't know if that's helpful for me. It just helps keep me tethered to thinking about my exes all the damn time.

This is Betrayus's theme song, change my mind.

Bluebird's Spite

Your red strings wrapped round my throat,

Until I could no longer breathe,

I could no longer breathe.

Until I admitted what it was,

I admitted I loved you,

But why'd you take it all and leave?

A voice runs rampant through the sky

My voice, it tears out loud

It screams and shrieks so loud

I can hear the echoes coming back,

Coming their way back to me.

The bright red that you stained my soul with,

It's all my vision can see,

It's all I can ever see.

I'm blinded with past loves and regrets.

Blinded with what I loved and lost,

How can I ever forgive what you did to me?

I liked this scene, it resonated so well since it legit is true in real life; some people are meant to be left in the past
