Thank you for the very personal review. I'm very sorry to hear about your past experiences with abuse of this kind, and I'm really grateful to hear that you felt I handled the subject matter realistically and in a way that could resonate without being too painful.
I can't really see them being in a consensual D/S relationship because of their awful communication skills but also because Walter is generally a selfish dick, and I don't think he could comfortable with the submissive one having ... well power.
Very true. It would ruin the appeal for him.
Having gotten that out of the way, I'd love to see a fic where they have a consensual D/S relationship *coughs*.
I don't think I'd be able to write it, honestly. I absolutely do not mean this in a kink-shaming kind of way, but consensual BDSM is something I can't really wrap my head around, and it makes me uncomfortable. I'm not exactly comfortable with the darker, dubcon-ny iterations of it, either, despite having written this piece, but it makes sense to me in a way that makes it easier to deal with.
You have other fics for this fandom I see and I'm gonna go check them out.
Awesome; let me know what you think of them. I have some unpublished fics I've been holding onto that the positive response to this one is making me want to clean up and share, too.
