I feel ya when it comes to just having a bad month. I've been on the same boat :/ Hopefully this will be a good distraction :) I love your AU about Skemal and Urva raising Kira. Got anything more about this AU? :)
This is my birthday month it’s supposed to be great, damn it. And I’m sorry to hear you’re having a shitty month too. I hope it gets better for you! And thank you so much. I’m so bad at balancing out my projects. I’m still working on this one! Here’s some new ideas for the AU:
I changed a bit about how Kira eventually meets skekMal. UrVa gets very sick (which Kira eventually finds out it came from an infected wound Mal got during his hunts). Her healing powers aren’t powerful enough to treat severe infections like that so she’s been relying on herbs she ran out. They’re only grown in parts of the forest outside of their home. Normally urVa would gather them himself, but Kira was getting worried about his condition and didn’t want to wait for him to get better. So she ventured outside of their glen (or grove: still debating on this), something she’s normally forbidden to do. The rest of the scenario is still the same.
The scar on Kira’s face came from a Garthim she was forced to fight by skekMal. It was his way of trying to get her to face and conquer her fears (father of the year, this one). She did manage to kill it and she wears a piece of it on her person as her trophy. But as you can imagine, she wasn’t okay after that. (And you bet urVa was angry at skekMal over this).
