   Summary

   Wren clears her throat. “They are–”

   “Healing devices.” I hold up a hand, voice smooth as silk. “For your . . . illness.”

   “Illness?”

   “Well, we’re not quite sure what it is. But you’re skin and bones right now, Mare. The Guard . . . whatever they did to you, your body’s still not recovered.” I lay a hand on her knee, a sharp exhale. “That’s why your lightning still isn’t in reach.”

   Mare gets amnesia in King's Cage, and only remembers pre-betrayal Maven

   Gift exchange prompts: "Unique ships, Mareven, Modern AU, Swapped Roles, RQ scenes from different POVs, Evangeline x Elane or characters taking absurd routes and we see how it goes from there"
