Reccer's comments: Warnings for: drug use, rape, physical abuse. I often run into authors who get me excited about writing and inspire me to work on my own pieces. Very rarely do I run into someone who makes me want to throw up my hands and call it quits. Justwolf is definitely edging into that territory with the way that she effortlessly captures human wants and emotions and perfectly observed details. This fic has an almost dreamlike tone with a very real dread rising as an undercurrent and imagery that made me feel like I was looking through frosted glass. Ugh, just lovely and beautifully heartbreaking. <3

I highly recommend reading through the rest of her work because everything I've read of hers has been utterly fantastic. She's one of the few authors I despair about being underappreciated in this fandom and I look up to her writing quite a bit.
