#me toiling for 7 hours on my only day off this week over imaginary faeries

you guys, lore-building is hard. writing and incorporating canon compliant plot when you wanna just lean into the romance so hard. send strength. I know why sjm chooses to have all of her FMCs trained/ mentored by their love interests, bc its fun as hell and provides so much easy relationship building and is lovely in its own way. but I cannot. And im giving it my all bc I have a dire need for Elain's story to evolve around her own journey equally in parts with her romance ... but good lord i need wine.
