sedated (drag me away from this)

my medical trauma angst phm fic is now up on ao3!!

Summary:

The first time he feels the terror, he doesn't understand why. As he barely hangs onto consciousness, the soft silicon presses against his face, enveloping his nose and mouth. The spark of terror catches fire in his chest and quickly spreads across his body. It ignites a screaming inferno within his skull. He forces his eyes open. Everything is red. There's shapes above him. Pure oxygen fills his airways, stale and clinical and familiar and wrong. Grace's memories of his unwilling medical sedation and forced sacrifice return, vivid and violent. Later, on the journey back to save Rocky, he has night terrors. The thin lines between consciousness, unconsciousness, memory, and nightmare blur.

My hope for whoever is reading this is that your life starts making sense and coming together. I hope the good days are right around the corner for you.

voice of someone who can't conceive of possible relationship dynamics outside of "nuclear family of a romantic partner and their kids/pets" looking at two best friends, one of whom is happily also romantically partnered but whose relationship with the best friend is given absolute equal weight and importance and meaning as the romantic relationship: so the best friend is their dog, right?

[hopefulqueer]

like, I know most ppl think of ppl who aren't in traditional romantic relationships as being less mature and in extreme cases less human. but did they have to say the quiet part out loud?

Look I love unconditional devotion love stories as much as the next person, but there's really something so deliciously raw about conditional devotion.

I have served you and I have loved you for decades, but I will not give up my principles for you. You cut out part of my heart and took it with you down that path that you insist on walking, but you walk it alone. Even when the bleeding, gaping hole you left in my chest kills me, I will not follow you.

hai :] I wanted to say how much I am LOVING Terra's Grace <3333 it's made me cry many happy tears. I'm looking forward to each new update!! As someone who worked as a teacher for a bit, it's become such a special story to me. So lovely to see a classroom atmosphere so accurately and beautifully captured. Thank you for your writing <333

PS I even sent it to my sister (who barely frequents fandom spaces) and she loved it too :]]]]

ahhhhhh thank you so much!!!!! I'm trying my best to make the classroom scenes very accurate from my own experiences working in a middle school classroom + in general with kids and teens, and I'm really happy it's coming across so well. And I'm flattered and delighted that you sent it to your sister and that she enjoyed it too! Thank you!!!!! <3

May we all know decadence such as this

[hopefulqueer]

grumbles quietly. i know better than to say this in the author note on the actual chapter, which i'm formatting now, but i feel like this might be the least strong chapter of terra's grace i've written so far. possibly bc i rushed to add a whole scene to it so that it would have more than 5k words + would have a flashback/biography section. and i'm generally pleased w how that second scene turned out, but it just doesn't feel as strongly connected to the present plot as the flashbacks/biography in other chapters have

love when ocs grab you by the shoulders and tell you something essential to their lore without you getting a say in it
