This one shot is beautifully introspective, a story about what happens when you’ve spent your whole life, trying to be lovable and then decide to love yourself instead. It’s tender, aching and quietly defiant. Please (as always), read the tags and trigger warnings.

The writing is so sharp, the universe so thoughtfully built, I actually had to sit back and blink at the screen. It’s omegaVERSE…a whole universe, rooted in canon in a way that feels alive. The fantasy framework 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴, the stakes. And a royal maze?!? It’s brilliant.
