dye me, nocturne by skywardstruck
Fanwork Notes
This fic was a collaboration with athlai on Tumblr, who made the amazing artwork! I'm so glad I got the chance to participate in TRSB, and write my first fic for one of my favorite ships.
The title is song lyrics from "Stained Nocturne" by toa.
Thank you to those in the Guild of Scribes Discord for the beta- daughterofshadows, maglor_my_beloved, and unicornsinspace. I couldn't have finished this without you!
