   Summary

   So, spoilers for up to episode 56 (and, really, not much else).

   So, as I finished episode 56, I was hoping that John would get *Arthur* in his head or something and Arthur would live *that way.*

   And then I decided to write a fic about it.

   And then I cut that out of the fic because I was bored and didn't feel like leaving it off on anything but a sad/bittersweet note.

   So now we just have a really sad seeing-eye demon, without the blind Englishman he puts up with, in a shorter-than-usual length (for me, anyways) fic.

   Sorry lol

   Update: There's a podfic, too! By @Cait_does_Podfics. Go check Cait out, please! :)))
