Just finished binging this 179 k word beast that's at 38 chapters. It's drarry set in 8th year slice of rebuilding life after the end of the war. Multiple POVs are featured.
Highly recommend because it features themes of psychological damage of emotional neglect, physical abuse, and the difficulties a mental health journey can take. Wonderful media example of how therapy should look like with beautiful quotes that 'recovery isn't linear'.
The relationship built between the boys is so realistic in its ability to layer intricate details together that is required for a strong healthy relationship that I genuinely perceive it as a wonderful blueprint for how a relationship can work out. Bittersweetness is the best word I can give for a full sum of this work due to the sweetness this author takes to depict the highs with realistic depictions of bitterness that would occur in any relationship.
