Snippet:
Eventually, Yang’s fingers made their way to her wife’s tense and shaking body. Red eyes snapped open as the illusions disappeared. In the same moment, Emerald darted away, breathing heavily. “Hey, hey, it’s okay,” Yang soothed. “You’re okay, it’s okay. You were having a nightmare. Salem and Cinder again.” “How did you…” Emerald’s face fell as her breathing slowed. “I’m sorry.” Before they started dating, back when being allies was a strange and tenuous thing, Emerald had vowed she would never use her semblance to trick Yang again. In fact, if at all possible she would shield Yang from any and every illusion. Back then, in Yang’s mind it hadn’t made up for how Emerald and Mercury ruined Yang’s name at the Vytal tournament, but it had been a crucial first step. “Hey, it’s not your fault. You didn’t mean to, and you wouldn’t do it if you weren’t having a nightmare.”
