A very cute one-short. This time Morrigan is a cat and he is obviously a cupid in disguise, doing his best to matchmake his owner Scylla and her cute neighbour Raelle. It's a long and solid one-short. 8/10.

Summary
Scylla's family is moving through the Cession and settle in Chippewa in the Fall of her senior year of high school. It is here that she meets Raelle Collar. The two form an unlikely friendship, that blossoms into a beautiful young romance. However, everything implodes when Scylla's parent's are murdered by the army.
Two years later, the girls meet again at Fort Salem, but this time everything has changed.
AKA, season one rewrite where Scylla and Raelle knew each other before Fort Salem, and this time, Scylla tells Raelle the truth.
(Or, the Friends to Lovers to Enemies back to Lovers high school/present time AU that no one asked for but I just had to write.)

Bookmarker's Notes
This is the most beautiful, tender, and attentive love letter to Raylla that I've ever read. It is written with such beauty and care, each word about them a loving touch. The author delicately fills in the gaps the show left behind, and beautifully turns their lovemaking scenes into a sacred space for uniting their hearts and souls. I love how Raelle takes the time to heal her relationship with her mom. I love how the author shows both Raelle's and Scylla's thoughts behind each decision they make, and how these decisions shape their destiny. I love how they talk things through with honesty and openness, how Raelle listens to Scylla's account with compassion, and how she forgives her for her past and loves her whole again. "The only thing you are guilty of is loving her." As a Scylla fan, I would gladly accept the charge just as Raelle unapologetically does.
I love how Scylla realizes that after the tragic passing of her parents, Raelle is the one to live for; that Raelle has been her lighthouse, her guiding star, her whole life. I also love how Scylla imagines Raelle's life without her, that Raelle would eventually move on and meet someone who loves and cares for her, and that she will always remember Scylla in her heart, which is enough for Scylla already. The way you write about how Scylla genuinely wishes Raelle happiness while she is facing death alone makes my heart break a little. And Raelle telling Scylla in the dungeon that she is the one, that it has always been her, is the most touching part of the story. "Find something to live for, something that is beautiful and real." They both find each other.
And the final chapter couldn't be more perfect. We get to see how they cherish their life together even though they are stuck in the Spree cell, facing the impending Camarilla threat. The pacing of the final chapter (as well as the entire story) is preciously steady and I love that the author leaves us with a beautiful open ending. I don't need to see them fight any war because I know Raelle and Scylla will always be together, loving and trusting each other, come what may.
I always wondered if they ever crossed paths when the canon Scylla briefly stayed in Cession in her childhood, and the author gives me this stunning alternate story that they did, in their teenage years, and it changed their lives forever. This story truly justifies their deep love for each other. 9/10.

This story perfectly fills the gaps that are left in the show. It mainly focuses on Scylla's journey after she was separated from Raelle again in S02E08, and it does so in a way that is both comprehensive and engaging. It beautifully elaborates on the plots of the show and gives more depth to the relationship of Raelle and Scylla. 8/10.

Summary
What if the mycelium wanted Scylla to reconnect with Raelle after our favourite fixer was gifted the witchbomb? What if she used the mushroom dreamscape to achieve this goal?
I adore and miss Motherland Fort Salem so much. So decided to put to paper this lil idea I got in an attempt to help stem my longing till season three arrives. Much love to my fellow switches xxx

This story cleverly and fully fills in the details of Raylla's reconciliation that the OG episodes are missing. Love how the author uses the Mycelium to reconnect and heal their relationship. 8/10.

Bookmarker's Notes
As much as I love Raylla, Maddi was undeniably the most interesting and complex character in the story. She was the kind of character that every actress would fight to play if this story were to be made into a movie or series. She was far from likeable, but her story was so compelling that I couldn’t help but sympathise with her. The way the author wrote about what Maddi went through was graphic and brutal, but it was also open and honest. The ending she chose for herself was probably the best for her own sake.
As for Raylla, I love that Raelle was extremely professional and patient with Scylla, who was in full-on Angry Bird mode in the beginning. She had seen Scylla at her worst and loved her at her worst. Her journey from a caretaker to a Hollywood A-lister was the wildest dream one could ever dream of, but of course she deserves it. And Scylla was obnoxious in the beginning, but I could not find myself being mad at her because my heart was broken for her broken self. And I love that Scylla took care of Raelle in the end just like Raelle took care of Scylla in the beginning. They both love each other at their worst and so deserve each other at their best. The ending couldn’t be more perfect with them continuing to live their best life together with a mutual promise of forever.
The author wrote many scenes in great detail, but I felt that some scenes, such as the ones where they were playing their roles in a movie shoot, were not necessary to be written in such detail. The author put a lot of effort into writing about Maddi, which I think led to some scenes, such as the unexpected romance between Tally and Brooke, being cut short. I also wish the author had written more about Scylla's past and her struggles with alcohol. 8.5/10.
