Summary
There was a time, not so long ago, when Arthur would have said that Merlin is… maybe not weak per se, but certainly not strong. He's an untrained peasant, after all, unused to the rigorous training of the sword and shield, the weight of chainmail and plated armour, the endurance built by sustained battle. He doesn’t have the obvious bulk of a knight, nor the keen reflexes lacing his muscles. He’s… well, yes, Arthur supposes he would have thought Merlin weak.
On his honour, he will never call Merlin weak after tonight.

Summary
They’ve been treading so very carefully lately, tension in every interaction, striving desperately for normalcy. Both of them are clearly afraid to rock the boat and ruin whatever progress they’ve made, but the longer Arthur observes Merlin’s sojourns to the woods for some unknown purpose (something worth lying about, again), the more difficult it becomes to hold his tongue.

Summary
Merlin is preoccupied with wiping his eyes, so he doesn’t notice Arthur right away, but Gwen does. She sees how the king’s face freezes at the sight of Merlin’s red-rimmed eyes and damp cheeks, watches as the penny drops and Arthur’s anger abandons him, leaving a distinct look of queasiness in its wake.

Summary
“There’s a link,” his therapist begins. “Between benzodiazepine addiction and ADHD.”
Frank had gone for a female therapist, not that he really had much choice. A man telling him what’s wrong with him would hit too close to home, he thinks. He’d probably walk out of each session worse off than he started them.
“You think I have ADHD?” He asks, flatly. Jesus. Why is he paying someone to tell him what he already knows?
“You know you likely have ADHD Frank.” His therapist answers.

Summary
"Robby felt like an asshole even before he hit the call button.
Abbott had been crowing about his impending vacation days for weeks now. A reprieve from the madness he called it. Jack had even taken to pointing out the fire extinguishers scattered around the Pitt during handoff- just in case the place caught fire without him. So Robby knew it was shitty to call, shitty to put this- his crap on him-
But Jack had made him promise.
And he was trying, trying to be better. Trying to lead by example, trying not to end up on that damn rooftop- or at least trying to stay on the right side of the railing.
So he hit the fucking button."
