maybe this is slightly controversial but i feel like fics where arthur lives don’t necessarily work because henry’s grief and his darkness is such a important part of who he is it’s like alex minus abandonment issues
i get where you're coming from, henry is not just his grief but its a very fundamental part of him and it explains the way he thinks and sees the world and his actions in general, i think those aus are more of a luxury for us to see henry happy with his dad than a replacement for canon, like a treat we all deserve
