Shadowoftheflame Stories

"Do you want me to live?" I choke the words out, nearly a sob, head pounding. Maven steps into my cell and this time I do not move away. I stay in my place on the cold ground, waiting to see how he responds. He stops right in front of me, crouching down. He puts a hand out to push the hair out of my face and I let him. He is oddly gentle and an unreadable expression takes over his face. "Of course I do," he finally says, an inkling of pain on his pale face. "And I can have you live." This is my take on what would have happened if Mare chose Maven in the Bowl of Bones.

I love sarcastic villains!! this fanfic isn't going to excuse everything Maven or the Darkling did but it will dive deep into how abuse/neglect affects ppl I've been abused literally my whole life (college was my escape) which is why I can relate to Maven anyways they're both precious and deserve some love Also I Wrote This While Listening to Taylor Swift's Music Lastly this has two homosexual couples so kindly fck off if you're homophobic!
