  Summary

  The narcissus flower is used most commonly in mythology to symbolize rebirth and new beginnings. And this story is certainly one regarding new beginnings, but not in the way one might assume.

  (A/N - this is my take on the Ballora is Mrs. Afton theory - she remains nameless for a purpose. Names are powerful/ref. Not everything is going to be canon within the lore, but also idek what's canon within lore and what isn't bc neither does Scott. Don't bs me and say he knows what he's doing, that's a fib. Love him though. Got a few headcanons in here to be honest, so it isn't perfect. also,,,NOT A FINISHED WORK. Very much a work in progress. Anyways, enjoy!!!)
