Word Count: 1197
Summary: "Sorsha will never serve a queen who wants her love."
Why I Rec This Fic: for me Sorsha and her relationship with her mother is one of the most interesting parts of the movie, if very underused in canon, I am happy there is some fanwork about them.

Warning: Past Child Abuse, Trauma,
Why I Rec This Fic: I love stories about people healing and becoming better versions of themself, and found families and female centric ones – this is the kind of fic I wanted to read after watching the movie.

Sorsha walks the halls of Nockmaar one last time. It seems appropriate for a goodbye. What kind, she isn’t sure.
Here, in the courtyard, she had her first sword lessons, falling on bloody knees over and over again. There in the alchemy room, bend over a cauldron, her mother’s voice had been even, her nails like claws on the back of Sorsha’s neck.
Magic ran in the women of her line. Her mother had surrounded herself with wise men, but ultimately, Sorsha knew, she thought nothing of them.
Sorsha knows nothing about her father. She is sure, if he ever existed, she must have gotten her weakness from him.

Bavmorda & Sorsha, Elora Danan & Sorsha, Madmartigan/Sorsha
Word Count: 2201
Summary: "Sorsha tries to come to terms with her actions in the aftermath."
Why I Rec This Fic: More Sorsha adjusting! Featuring lovely supportive Madmartigan.

“I cut my hair when I was four,” Sorsha says. “I stole a knife from the kitchen and cut it all off. It looked dreadful. Uneven and the odd bald patch.”
He frowns. “Why?”
Sorsha looks down at Ellora Dannon, who is looking up at her with far more trust that Sorsha thinks is prudent. “Mother wanted a boy.”

Summary: "Sorsha learns to love the child she is entrusted with, and the child she once was."
Why I Rec This Fic: I love stories that explore the after the “happily ever after”, that show how rebuilding and recovery takes work – but that definitely have a hopeful tone.

"[...] But there is one thing Elora needs most and I know you can provide it in abundance; I would not have left her with you otherwise.
Madmartigan cocked his head. Her brow was furrowed and her fingers white around the letter. "What's the one thing?"
"Love."
He grinned. "That's easy."
"Yes." She swallowed, folded the paper and tucked it into Kaia's journal. "Elora is very easy to love."
Sorsha was not.

Summary: "Everything will be all right once we get to Tir Asleen."
Except it does take some work to get to that glittering epilogue after the final battle because ruined castles don't magically fix themselves. Also, how do you hold a baby?
