This is quite possibly the greatest fanfic of all time: http://archiveofourown.org/chapters/478457?page=2&show_comments=true&view_full_work=false#comment_111179967
“Every single slight and annoyance from the day came flooding back, from being refused to accompany the hunt to disappointing her brother to Xanthippe’s stupid story to Phresine telling her the truth. Her frustration mounted in her until it could not be choked back any longer, and she ripped the wretched slipper from her foot and threw it across the room.“
Loathylady writes of the moment when young Irene, hurls her slipper across her room and it shatters her favorite amphora of hair oil, and she bursts into tears,… “as if her heart were throwing itself up against the bars of some cage.” …..
This fanfic is practically canon… my gods….
…..
It makes me remember her wedding night. If that hanging statement about being lachrymose wasn’t a direct fanfic prompt to the fandom from MWT, I don’t know what is.
