A Friendship of Hope and Necessity

[Gwynriel Week 2 Day 10 "AU Day": Gwyn was born around the same time as the bat boys]

Five-year-old Gwyneth Berdara is transferred to the Starlight Orphanage in the Night Court of Prythian after her family is viciously slaughtered, and the Autumn Forest House rejects her. A six-year-old Azriel Erebus is living in the dungeon of his father's home, a despised, cast-out bastard living in solitary. Both children are unwanted and traumatized. What happens when a little girl hears a little boy crying, somewhere over the play-yard fence? And years later, when the High Lord's wife eventually catches wind of two scarred children having had nothing but one another in life, what would she do to change their lives forever?
