Because there needs to be more of this. Can be anything the anons want. Non-con to Heartbreak to Driven Him Crazy.

Go with it.

I wanna cry.

You probably won't shed tears and I'm sorry. I thought I'd try something new? Warnings (whited out for spoilers but trigger-y): rape, PTSD/clinical depression, bureaucratic escape of justice/punishment, possible improper use of Greek, and experimental style

He does not tell anyone. His King knows (and so the Queen and so Tula and Garth - they know they know) and that is it

The Prince says nothing and he does not look, and he does not eat, and he does not hear the sounds of his soul squeezing itself thin and frail to the back of his rib cage trying to hide. Because he can do this, this this this thing. This, this, this thing that asks so much of him. His team needs him, he needs to be able to go back to the Surface and lead them

How did you know that experimental writing is like my code word to geek out right now?

So first off, I believe this experiment to be a wonderful success. This may not make you cry, but it certainly has the feeling of depression, and often times with truly depressed depression that release of crying doesn't come, you just have that sense of something is wrong, and there is nothing you can do about it, which is totally what I get from this fill.

I did see a few spots were I think some rearranging for clarification, or a bit of tweaking, could bring some improvement, if you don't mind me doing a critique and maybe throwing out a few ideas? O.O glistening puppy dog eyes here

Thank you. That is all a huge compliment, that you had any sort of emotional response to it.

And feel free to constructively criticize -- which is not me saying constructive = be nice and sugar coating, if that's not your style. As long as there's reason behind however harsh a criticism, I can respect it. I'm trying this thing where I don't apologize for things I create (which I literally did without thinking in my author's comments of the fill), and that means learning to hear things that hurt and nodding and really listening and defending and conceding and improving.

So though I'm mostly content with this piece, go for it.
