oh we are bringing up 'in from the cold' again and my thoughts go back to a fic I'll never write but its locked in my mind ever since I played that scene. heavy tw/cws. i dont talk abt it but its healing in a way to delve into that. for both myself and my wol. if you get it, im glad youre still here
its also the first time we actually see our character extremely vulnerable. terrified. alone. and you use every ounce of strength to make it out of there. its a major part of my wols cptsd and it takes a while for her to talk about it even though Y'shtola and Estinien knew right away what happened
Estinien sat w her silently as she wept away from everyone. he could smell everything that happened even after she scrubbed herself. he knew no words could take it away. he hated how he couldnt have been there to jump in and save her reminding him of the last time he carried her off a battlefield
