Author's note:
I've always wanted to write about the isolating aspects of chronic pain + disability, or the overwhelming loneliness of it. it's not so easy to do in published work, though I don't think the scope really came through here either. But at least I got to express the feeling of
I'm in such pain, I just wish someone would hold my hand that I've felt several times in my life.
I didn't intend to parallel or reference the Brady/Lucina supports (Or Brady/Noire supports, for that matter) but maybe I accidentally did. I'd blame that I just finished getting them again to ensure that Lucina got a happy ending, so no swinging solo ending for her.
Anyways, I feel bad, sickfic comes. It's like clockwork. Also note that this one as a content warning has a bit of unsanitary note due to sickfic, you know.
As I mentioned before, according to lore (largely gold tile) Noire has begun to learn hexes and curses on her own, and can even do your elemental magic even though she is canonly an archer, and Tharja didn't teach her. You can specifically see this in her gold tile supports, especially involving her mother.
Stahl!Laurent, Gaius!Noire.
