They're both so incredibly messed up, not just Nate, Sophie too... but they're still good for each other even if it's not easy
Yes! And that is really what I was trying to capture with the forward-story aspect of this, so I am so glad it worked for you on that level. I really hope/want to see them learning how to fully trust each other and let each other in, because they cannot sustain a relationship without that fundamental trust, and yet they are two people who distrust out of habit. That is what I love most about how John Rogers & Company has constructed their relationship - by breaking it down and having them rebuild it from scratch.
Anyway, thank you so much for reading and taking the time to review. It means so much. This fandom so small, the readers for this pairing even more so, the fact that you read, liked it, and left feedback means so much. And rec away! I really appreciate it :)
