My Own Worst Enemy
Jun. 26th, 2020 08:00 amWord Count: 4,535
Summary: An impulsive action ends up leaving Nova stranded in some strange place she’s never seen before. What she experiences there is more harrowing than anything she could have anticipated.
Author’s Note: Big cw for abuse!! Physical abuse, mentions of alcoholism, cursing. Not good things!!! There are unsettling and upsetting things that happen in this fic so read at your own risk!!!
I finished s2 of DTB not too long ago, I couldn’t help binging it, especially considering how controversial it apparently was. Not legitimately (well, I guess that’s up for debate) but from what I saw pretty much everyone agreed that it was garbage and they wished it didn’t exist. But, ofc, I was compelled to sit through the dumpster fire anyway for the sake of my love, and OOF. I don’t hate it as much as other people but they really did just…beat him down and then keep beating him…it was unfortunate and I kept thinking about how glad I was that I decided to self insert because I can save him from that fate lol…but what if I didn’t?? What if I wanted to comfort him through some series of special circumstances…so I did! But it didn't turn out nearly as kind as I would have liked lol. If the warnings haven't scared you away yet, though, thank you for reading! At least the fic has a happy ending lol.
“Look out!” She lunged forward on impulse, focused solely on protecting him. A strange sensation came over her, almost viscous, bringing a wave of unsettling nausea with it. Vision blurring, head spinning…what was happening to her? Well, she supposed it didn’t matter, as long as she’d managed to shield him from the blow. But what kind of attack was it? What had this Contractor managed to do to her? Her mind was slipping, thoughts ebbing away until she sunk into a void of darkness, steadily drifting away from her senses.
