“What Bloomed In The Dark Garden” by ehoney is THE elriel fanfic!!! It’s the elriel bible. Almost every recent elriel fanfic i’ve read references it in some way.
I don’t even think sjm could write their story so beautifully 🥲 Even if elriel is the next book (please god if you’re listening), I think I would still prefer this fanfic.
Because what do you mean “damn the stars. damn the cauldron. this could never be a mistake” or “if the cauldron had only asked…if anyone had asked…it would have been you” was written by someone on Ao3.
it was written by someone on AO3 and that someone is me 🧚
thank you for your sweet words and for believing in mine 🦋 this has been a labor of love to create. i am proud and humbled to have created it with not but my own bare hands and verdant dreams.
