Thank you so much!

Yeah, I'm fond of this AU, too (and the slightly different one, where he successfully murders Kellom instead of being killed himself in the attempt--I actually almost used that AU for this prompt but this one ended up working better). Mellir is so much fun/so fascinating when he drags himself/is dragged out of his alcoholic rut.

But yeaaaaaah definitely needing all the luck he would get.
