   Summary

   In which the Tarnished reaches the First Step, and begins her last journey through the Lands Between.

   AKA: Yet another Elden Ring Fix-it fic. In this one the Tarnished sets out to save her friends, frenemies, and husbandos. This is easier said than done, because everything resets every time she defeats the Elden Beast.

   Everything except her.
