Summary

"A teddy bear was a soft, comforting thing, like the stuffed elephant, whose insides had been spread across the sidewalk to be trampled upon by the people who passed by. Theo was all hard edges and sharp shadows because he had been determined never to end up like that—although he was pretty sure that there was no stuffing left to pull out of him anyway. He was hollow, no more than a shadow. But how he wished to be something soft and comforting. For Abel to feel as much satisfaction from gathering him into his arms and cuddling him as he felt being held. Maybe he could restuff himself." -Or- Living under Ken's thumb will kill Theo someday, until it doesn't. He finds himself free, but has to pick up the pieces of a life he has not been living in order to move on. This novella covers a single day that marks the transition from exploitation and suppressed traumas to a different kind of future than one Theo ever expected for himself with a helping hand from Abel, the one who set it all into motion. Content Warning: This is pretty dark and explicit, although most of Theo's trauma is fade-to-black, off-screen, or only heavily implied. Specific content warnings are included in the Author's Note (some of which are spoilers for things not revealed until the very end of the story).

Author's Notes

This story is (in my opinion) considerably darker than my previous one. It came out of all the messed-up ideas I had to add to Snafu. Since I wanted to keep its tone a bit lighter, I molded all those thoughts into this little novella instead of including them.

As such, there are some content warnings: Assault; Offscreen rape; Child abuse; Statutory rape; Domestic Violence; Eating disorders; Human trafficking; Exploitation; Threats of violence (If I ever notice that I have missed a warning, please let me know!)

There’s a knight in shining armor in this one, but he doesn’t save the day. He just helps pick up the pieces. Because I always like to know before I start reading something – this does have a happy ending 😊

The story revolves around the events of a single day and flashbacks of what led up to it. I enjoyed playing around with the structure of the present/past events, and I hope that it will not make the story too confusing! If you are having trouble following, let me know, and I’ll make a timeline or something that I can add to with each upload.

In light of the fact that the thread of the story is not quite linear (and I have less time now than I did when I first started Snafu), I’ll be uploading longer chapters once a week on Fridays.

If something dark like this is not your cup of tea and you prefer the lighter, more comedic tone of Snafu, stay tuned because I am currently working on a much lighter, BDSM-centric (and smut heavy) novel. Once I finish the first draft, I will begin uploading it, as well.

Let Osiria know what you thought about this chapter!

Chapter Notes
