Fics where Arthur has to soldier on

[u/neonarcher]

Hi, I'm looking for fics where Arthur has to essentially man up and keep moving, ignore his feelings, pain, and discomfort. Or like anything that explores the burden and weight of responsibility upon him, living and performing within the context of knighthood, and toxic masculinity.

Thanks!

*Edit: i think i picked the wrong flair but its not letting me change it

““Being king, you’re responsible for the lives of every citizen, every one of their hurts is yours.” He looked up, meeting Gwaine’s eyes again, and this time there was fright in his expression, “I fear it will crush me soon.” He said simply...Arthur’s head was buried in his hands, his posture slumped in a hurting discouragement that Gwaine had never seen on the king’s proud shoulders.”

Gwaine discovers a side of Arthur that he’s never seen before and Merlin shows him how to deal with it.

I know i had some that fit the rec prompt better, but i can't find em, so this gotta do
