I can't help but think of Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier and that Leo is going to lose his arm also how he's starting to retreat inwards and am wondering how much awareness he going to end up having of what is going on as the story progresses and I am clinging to the angst with a happy ending tag for dear life at this point!
Also!
I think the derealisation thing has stuck with me on this one, just the whole getting overwhelmed and you brain going ‘let’s just step aside shall we…' Have never blacked out but do get a sort of sideways of self feeling when my brain starts getting overwhelmed and there is something in the way that you have written Leo experiencing it as having a sort of familiarity to my own experiences with getting overwhelmed. AND, that you wrote the panic attack as a separate thing of its own! Maybe that is what it is, that you wrote two separate distress responses for the same character in the same fic?! Think about this I shall!
eeee!! i appreciate your comment!!!
you are on the right track with what to expect. things are going to get much worse before they start to get better, and even once they do, recovery is one hell of a rocky road
but i do promise a happy ending!! all this angst is going to culminate into a lot of recovery and brotherly moments <3
im glad you like leo's struggles! its important to me that he doesnt react to everything in just one way, and it makes me happy that its being noticed :D
