I’m writing a fic that explores more of Simon’s background and upbringing in a Real World AU.
Namely, cult stuff.
It’s still hurt/comfort, but I have shaken my dolls around a bit too much at the start.
Some highlights of what I’m trying to do here:
- Grace is a teacher still, dealing with his academic isolation
- Simon is the guardian of his niece who is in Grace’s class
- both are working on healing. They take turns being the one needing help.
- They’re both wildly competent and intelligent. Dorky, but not naive.
New chapter just dropped. Enjoy :)
