Shelfbound Secrets
After the sudden passing of the castle's head librarian, Theodore, Thymian finds herself alone with her thoughts as people pour in to offer their sympathies. One visitor in particular, however, manages to unintentionally bring forth a dark truth Thymian has kept secret for many, many years.
Author's Notes: Thank you for taking the time to read my work. This piece was, in its original form, going to be fanfiction for Frozen (I am very much team Give Elsa a Girlfriend) but as the concept developed and the subject matter darkened, I decided to switch gears and re-tool it into something a little more original so it could stand apart and on its own. I do leave in a few similar details as small callbacks to that original fanfic idea; ie. Elise's ice powers, the two royal sisters, the kingdom with the same starting letter, etc.
Many thanks to my beloved friends J and J for beta reading, editing, and hyping me up in general.
