    Summary

    Like most Elain-centric fics, this one begins with our doe-eyed protagonist (yes, protagonist! Put some respect on her name!) frolicking through the Spring Court. But she’s not just here to sniff roses and vibe. She’s rebuilding a court, a self, and possibly a slightly unhinged sense of purpose. Her visions are getting weird, the ground’s humming with old magic, and honestly? She’s kinda into it.

    Enter Tamlin (yes, that Tamlin), just trying to heal in peace without catching daily slander. He’s repressed, tragic, and accidentally hot. Elain takes one look at him and says she can fix him, but won't. The only person who should be saving Tamlin now is Tamlin.

    Expect:
    ✨ Flower metaphors
    ✨ Political glow-ups
    ✨ Ferality (hers)
    ✨ Atonement (his)
    ✨ Lucien being nosy
    ✨ One ruined skirt (minimum)
    ✨ Yearning so chaotic it might qualify as a natural disaster

    She came seeking growth. He? redemption. In a place where even the land remembers how to start over, maybe they could, too?
