I dunno why, but druggie!Merlin clicks a little better than it should. I guess I'm just depressing and think that after that long a life and losing Arthur so many times he'd be open to a lot of stuff like that. Oh well, that's just me. But seriously, really good fic here. I'm intrigued by how Arthur was apparently able to hunt Merlin down, and the way he immediately tries to take care of him made my inner fangirl happy despite all the depressingness. Also like the little references to past lives, because I just enjoy those little extras.
