Comments: Why am I reccing this? It should have been rec'ed long ago. This is one of those rare gems that is at once heart-wrenching and heart-warming. It's incredibly dark with the torture and other unspeakables, and yet so full of hope and the promise of the brighter side of human nature. And the whole time, it captures the relational dynamics of the characters perfectly.
This troper agrees with everything said above. The fic is bittersweetly heartbreaking. It took this troper two goes to fully understand the fic, but it was well worth it. An absolutely astounding oneshot
