  • the rose metaphor got a bit out of hand
  • just like the roses
  • this isn't a story about an affair
  • it's more about healing from old wounds

  Summary

  Lyanna Cousland's peers had once called her the Rose of Highever, always followed by a warning to "be wary of her thorns." As Nathaniel watched her clean poison and blood off her daggers, he thought her unofficial title was more apt than ever.

  She was not a woman anyone would want to piss off.

  In which Nathaniel Howe muses about things that are, things that were, and things that might have been. Nothing has turned out as he expected it would, but maybe that's not a bad thing.
