I'm so happy you liked it! I was worried you'd be disappointed, so I'm thrilled that I hit on a pairing you enjoy. As soon as I thought of Tina maybe sympathizing because of her own experience I couldn't not write it from her perspective, and the kissing felt so right at that point... Anyway, I'm just glad that it worked for you.

I got surprisingly invested in this story (my rape recovery feels, let me show you them, I guess), so I wouldn't be surprised if it grows some before it gets to AO3, though I make no promises.

In case anyone who is reading this is a survivor of sexual violence, by the way, it's really important to me that you know this: I believe you. It wasn't your fault. You did the right thing.
