holy SHIT i have so many thoughts about this fill??? omg. what a good rewriting of canon that so closely follows it while changing only the crucial facts. great representation of gaslighting (IS IT gaslighting...? we may never know, its ardyn) and the reliance on affection without anything sexual or even overt romance. its so perfectly in character for both of them and im just sitting hre after reading the end like. does ardyn succeed this time or does. it end badly. ANYWAY THIS IS FANTASTIC AND YOU DID AN INCREDIBLE JOB you deserve a ROUND OF APPLAUSE
