There are Five Lights - fresne [Archive of Our Own]
The very first thing that Iago said to Emelia after they were wed was, "The sun is shining very brightly in the sky." As this was their wedding night, she replied, "What do you mean? That is the moon and stars. It's dark out." Emelia didn't know to shiver then when Iago stroked her cheek and said, "No, My Love it is the sun." Then again, she hardly knew the man to whom she'd been wed. // Yeah. Wow. This is a mindfuck. TW for abuse and conditioning and just... wow.
