Then...
Everything you thought you knew for certain...changes.
Cas is back in Lawrence after years of absence, stirring up memories in Dean that had been long ago stolen by a disastrous accident. Dean doesn’t remember anything about Cas, but Cas will never forget what happened; what Dean did to him, and he hates him for it.
But when Dean starts to remember, he starts falling apart, and Cas can’t help but see the man through his perception of him. The man he forced himself to forget. The man he loved.
Can their love break through the boundaries of time and tragedy? Or will their demons swallow them alive?
Will the friction light a spark? Or will it smoke out?
Maybe it’ll all go up in flames. Words:184490 complete
Great tragic story. May be difficult to read for some. I totally respect the author’s choice of premise and enjoyed the story, especially since the characters did not immediately fall into the roles we expect them to. That said, I didn’t love that the victim falls in love with their abuser or that the abuser kinda gets a free pass for a long time due to amnesia. And damn it, a happy ending would’ve been nice, but maybe once you whumph a character too much, there is no plausible happy ending (think about all that untreated trauma/PTSD).
