CONTENT WARNING
This story is just a re-write, and it's also very long.
It's one of the first stories I wrote.
Haden has always had such a chokehold on me, he's probably my favorite character ever written. I gave him so many issues, so many toxic traits - pitch black before knowing what pitch black was. This character gives me the free range to write a character unhinged and unforgiving.
I wanted to write characters that had escaped 'death' but are all somehow interlinked. Fateful, havoc, fate.
That red string that ties people and how it twist and knots, bleeds and hurts, but that bond, that string, it never breaks.
Haden & Mara are toxic for each other. They'll do things that should have people running from their partner, but neither of them do.
Please read trigger warnings and no, this is not a romance. It's more trauma bond than anything, with some semi nice moments. Doesn't cancel out Haden's character though.
