[Gansey AU]

He didn't know what to do with this new worldview. Adam had feared Gansey's death so much, had altered every possible phrasing in his head to make sure they got the best version of Glendower's favor. To have Gansey here, after all of that, dead and alive again, was a strange thing. Adam stood in front of him and he knew it was Gansey but he also stood in front of him and felt Cabeswater. Through Adam's eyes, Cabeswater looked into Gansey and saw itself and then it looked into Adam again. 

It was a powerful and magnetic uncertainty and it took Adam into the woods, sitting at the base of a tree that stood on the very edge of Cabeswater. Persephone's deck was in its velvet bag on his lap but Adam hadn't yet begun to shuffle, to seek understanding.
