#gawyn and egwene having a whole meetcute and flirting with each other while rand is like 🧍

[markantonys]

rand and elayne got a different meetcute in the show, which means the garden meetcute is still up for grabs, and it would be ideal for gawyn to meet egwene before the coup even if only briefly, and it would also be ideal for him and elaida to meet rand before he's gained widespread infamy as the dragon, and it would also be extremely cool for egwene and elaida to meet before they become rival amyrlins.

hence, i propose an early s3 sequence where the waste crew is passing through caemlyn and rand and egwene both fall into the garden, giving gawyn the bi crisis of his life, and then both get hauled off to almost be arrested by their mutual future mother-in-law and their mutual future kidnapper. i would like to see it.
