Okay so like I’m trying to finish re-reading in the midst of studying for finals and then I get to this part. Dear god does this break my heart for my poor baby bat. So instead of writing my paper y’all get a Feysand fic talking about this scene. It’s short but I can’t procrastinate for too long. Enjoy!
I own none of these characters. They are the sole property of our queen S.J. Maas.
I’m sorry. I could hear the choked back sob through our bond. My heart broke for the thousandth time since my darling had been taken from me.
Shh, I whispered across the bond, Everything is alright. I love you darling. It was a hard day so far for Feyre. Tamlin was acting as an insufferable ass, and pretending as if it was all in the interest of love. It took every ounce of my willpower not to winnow to the Spring Court and shatter the mind of the bastard that caused my mate so much pain.
You know it was a lie, right? Her voice was quiet this time, as if she was afraid of the answer. Again, my heart broke.
I know now, and that’s all that matters. I paused, trying to think of the right words to say. I know that you were struggling with accepting that it was okay to love again. To be loved. To open up and let somebody in again. I understand that you were afraid, not just of how others would see you but also of learning to accept true affection again. I adore you Feyre. I always have. That will never change.
At first, I received no response. My heart sank, fearful my words hadn’t been enough. Then, Thank you. I love you, came her reply. Though she was still hurting, I could feel her love pouring down the bond.
Besides, I’m too irresistible. You’d have to come around eventually. I teased.
Prick. She fired back, but there was laughter in her voice. I must go now my dear irresistible mate.
Try not to think about me too much I purred. Her chuckle was her only reply. Gods, I couldn’t wait to see that smile again.
