   Summary

   COMPLETE

   What if the mating bond snapped into place earlier, while they were still trapped Under the Mountain?
   What if Feyre froze during the second task - would Rhys have stepped in to save her?

   A canon-divergent AU that begins Under the Mountain and follows the quiet formation of a bond forged in fear, restraint, and defiance — and the moment it becomes powerful enough to change the fate of Prythian itself.
