rarefemslashexchange is a multifandom exchange focused on f/f ships with fewer than 250 works on AO3. This is its third year and my first time participating. Around 100 people signed up and wrote 120 works works in 80 fandoms.

Summary:
"That's the crux of it, isn't it?" Sigyn asks, her voice pitched high, thin and hoarse from not speaking for what must have felt like an eon for her. A few years ago, Angrboda wouldn't have cared, filled with too much vengeance and too little sense, but these days, with Ragnarok looming and the end of the world as they knew it getting closer and closer, she found she didn't mind. They were both—they were both people who'd been played for fools by the Fates, in the end.

They meet each other at the edge of the world.
