But I came banging on the walls (like I heard your heartbeat call)

Seven months. It's been seven months since Meliodas killed a shapeshifting faerie and was taken to the Spring Court as penance. Six months since he burst into a place known simply as Under the Mountain to face the self-fashioned High King of Britannia, six months since he agreed to Mael's demands--solve the riddle or win the three trials, and save the land of the Fae. Five months since he was hunted for the amusement of Mael's faeries, four since he formed his bargain for survival with the devastating and cruel Elizabeth. Three months since he stood before Mael on the day of that final trial and killed two faeries in cold blood, since he stabbed the woman he loved in the heart. Three months since he died, and was brought back as High Fae. And now it's time for happily-ever-after--right? Except Meliodas can't see the color red without panicking, and Zaneli's "protection" and "love" is starting to feel like a cage. Except the bargain he made to save them both is hovering around them like a dark cloud, along with the miasma of Zaneli's potent, deadly rage, about to damn them at any second. And when Elizabeth calls in her bargain--well, things get... interesting.
Based on A court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas, it’s somewhat of a clanswap au, featuring a smol but badass Meliodas, and a fabulous, dramatic Elizabeth. I love this fic to pieces. You know those in-progress fics where you see an update and you kind of just lose your mind with excitement? Yeah, that.
Highly recommended, in fact, all of writing_addict’s stuff is top notch, my go-to author for NNT fanfics.
