#HESTIO BRAIDING REED'S HAIR

[microwaving-tesilid-argente]

just realised that "fall into the abyss with me" is exactly what happens in the hestio/reed fic.

ailette refuses because she has hope that she can save both the world and tesilid.

hestio ((& ephael)) do not. reed does not. they have the evidence of a hundred timelines where they were together and yet things did not work out. tesilid is left with only this option. round 100 hestio has to choose between accompanying tesilid in the last leg of his life and... the absolute dogshit, may-as-well-not-exist option of dooming tesilid to a fate worse than death. he doesn't really have a choice at all.

just like reed, sparing the world isn't an option

For spoilers on the lastest updates, I use the tags "webnovel reactions" and "webtoon updates". I read the webtoon on Tapas, so I will be ahead of aggregators.

Please don't be shy to send an ask or interact!!! The tag is pretty lonely rn and i'm doing all this in hopes of making the space more lived-in for the next person. Please don't be shy to spam like old posts. Banging pots and pans and waving smoke signals ARE YOU OUT THERE!!! PLEASE RESPOND! !
