   Summary

   Useless, useless. She could still hear it now, through this imperfect darkness, the Mother Superior’s scolding tone. You are not ready. You were never ready.

   //

   A tale of improbable intimacy and the agony of finding the right way to say sorry. It is a collection of scenes in variable forms, all loosely following a central plot of how Shadowheart and Lae’zel learn to gain and yet lose everything in the process.
