#After said amulet saved her life at the raid on the grove; a basically worthless little protection trinket that luckily worked

I'm a simple woman. Shadowheart + collar = Happy. I need to write more of it specifically, instead of it just being a background detail that she's wearing Asheera's collar. As much as I enjoy the hat tip to it, the extreme level of trust that sort of exchange requires is literally life-changing.

#random rambling about writing #oc: asheera #it's not really a thing that needs brought up all the time #so if you skipped a few of the smut fics you might not even realize it happened! but here we are #I am rendered a worthless and weak wreck when I think about Shadowheart wanting to turn an amulet that Asheera gave her into a collar #After said amulet saved her life at the raid on the grove; a basically worthless little protection trinket that luckily worked #And how Asheera herself made the collars as another layer of how she sees being in love with Shadowheart as a gift she has to measure up to #to show Shadowheart that she is worth all of that and more and that though gifts must not always be reciprocal #there are some that must be answered with the same level of love; how Making Things and Creation are gifts of love #*sigh* I'm so very normal about them
