glymrTitle: it's anchored to my racing mind (maybe you can slow its stride)
Ship: Hank/Con
Rated: Teen (There's an explicit sequel, but you can enjoy it without it)
Words: 73,648 words
In my last rec I talked about wanting to see Connor deal with the guilt of having been the Deviant Hunter.
Be careful what you wish for, folks!
This story takes us on a journey through Connor's and Hank's issues, both of which are heavily informed by the author's own journey with moral OCD. Connor must deal with extremely negative emotions, in the form of (among other things) a banner projected across his view which literally tells him things like "YOU ARE NOT GOOD" and "YOU CANNOT BE FORGIVEN".
I won't lie, it's not always an easy read. I ended up with tears stinging my eyes after reading some of the chapters (not full on gross sobbing, just a little sting). But the author always brings it back around to something happy and positive, which I really, really loved. They balance awful things with healing in a really excellent way. There's real hope underlying everything, even when things are extremely dark. They talk about their own personal philosophy in the notes, and it's one I can really get behind.
Mind the tags, and know that there is suicidal ideation on both Connor's and Hank's parts in this, as well as a LOT of negative self-talk. But if you can make it through that, you are in for a well-written, emotional journey that's very much worth taking.
