Author's Notes

I think I really beat the 'second chances' theme over the head with this one, oops. It's a remix, it's a time travel story, and it's a redemption story, of sorts. I loved writing it, even though it often made my head hurt. Content warnings for violence, child harm, and fairies eating people.
