Fics like To Love Like a Laurel Tree

There was a feeling that pricked at the back of Daphne’s throat as she handed Emily over to Silas. It was utterly irrational in every way, yet she felt stabs of jealousy and heartbreak prickling throughout her body, pinning themselves to her shoulders and chest and stomach. As she watched Silas nurse and rock their now-docile daughter, she was outside herself. She felt more a spectator than a mother. Daphne’s mother sang to her. Emily Luckenbill calmed down her daughter without fail. Daphne always stilled in the presence of her mother, from what she could remember, at least. It was her father that disquieted her. Yet, when it comes to Daphne and her little Emily, the same could not be said. Daphne tries not to let it hurt her, to think that there’s this thought-of pillar of womanhood that she’s somehow failing at. Or, Daphne has to contend with the societal ideal of what a mother's love should look like. Based on AJW's What Comes Next video! https://www.tiktok.com/@andrewjosephwhite/video/7305839860227591467
