ficlet series: Under the Upper Hand
Way late tonight, I had a long day working and was attacked by dogs again. Note to people everywhere: fourteen dogs is way too many. Please stop taking them home.
Title: Under the Upper Hand
Rating: T for references to child abuse and drugs--and lots and lots of bad words
Characters: Connor, OC (Naomi)
Warnings: child abuse, swearing
Notes: Title comes from 'Class-A Team' by Ed Sheeran. This chapter is entirely Connor-centric, for those of you who might enjoy reading backstory fics but don't want to read about some shitty 'childhood friend' OC trope. It will also probably break your heart.
Summary: Boy meets girl. Girl protects boy from the world. Boy learns that the world is sometimes a sad and dangerous place. At times funny, silly, sweet, sad, and, hopefully, enlightening--a story chronicling the course of Connor Temple's relationship with Naomi Einhorn during their formative years.
Previous installments: One, Two, Three.
