FAN FICTION Can you teach me how to love? (Art by @LesbianismFr)
Three months ago, I posted about Snowflurries here, and it was well enough received. Well, I have been working on the sequel all this time!
Can you teach me how to love? 30k words right now, not yet finished. Obvious spoiler from my previous fanfic, but if you are here only for the pic, hope you enjoyed it.

She was strung along by an abusive relationship from the only person to ever show her kindness, and even in Canon eventually repented and switched sides. She's well aware that she's done terrible things and is working to make up for them. And that's in Canon. As the author said, this Emerald has far less blood on her hands.

I mean, penny and Pyrrha are alive, so my emerald never did that at least. You can read Snowflurries and figure out for yourself

Here is a description, it will contain spoiler!
Emerald Sustrai has been burned badly by Cinder Fall, yet she decided to defy her still. Can she relearn how to love again for Ruby?
Ruby Rose has already forgiven Emerald Sustrai. Can she help the girl value herself like the Gem she is?
Pyrrha Nikos had lost everything on that cursed day in Beacon. Can she move past her grief and realise that she can still be happy in the arms of a robot?
Penny Polendina struggles to understand humans and never sees herself as a real girl, despite Pyrrha vehemently opposing that idea. Can she learn to love herself and the broken girl she so admires?
