#like im still trying to figure out the logistics of hestio getting around to seeing reed's pov and sympathizing with him

[microwaving-tesilid-argente]

forget everything i said about ditching the hestio/reed fic. i'm forced to turn it into a slow burn enemies to lovers fic that will inevitably need like 20k words before i even get to the emotional beats that i was aiming for at the start.

#mimin trying to write #hestioreed #like im still trying to figure out the logistics of hestio getting around to seeing reed's pov and sympathizing with him #and the stockhold syndrome vibes are really leaving a bad taste in my mouth #like reed's not keeping hestio hostage but he may as well be with how much power he has relative to hestio #hestio can run anywhere in the world and never actually escape #like atp their dynamic is incredibly screwed up and hestio is like a pet mouse that some deranged person keeps around just to #see what it will do. if it will die if left alone or if itll flourish or something #but also their potential dynamic afterwards ??!?!??? #reed is the only version of tesilid that is THIS unrestrained #like yeah okay hes trying to kill the world too whatever but also consider: hes doing all sort of other shit too #only version of tesilid that is mean to hestio too or something like that i dont know #s-class heroine spoilers #poor hestio is truly going through it in this fic and always like thiiisss close to a breakdown but tbh so is reed #none of their lives are okay when ailette isnt in the picture lets be real #the strict order is truly kind of fucked for putting them in a world like that
