I huddled in the incredibly soft pullover hoodie and lounge-pants that had been waiting for me after my time in the bath, another gift from the Hollow. My fingers were wrapped around a ceramic mug holding something warm and alcoholic, a gift from Zeru when he'd seen me after Riley had convinced me I couldn't simply live out my days in the bathroom. The half-fae guaranteed me it wasn't tea when I'd sniffed it suspiciously. It was creamy and sweet, making me feel warm inside. It was really nice of
I'm very glad you're enjoying it! I love this story.
I'min superblock right now, so if you need a root canal, periodontal treatment, or some gaps in your teeth replaced with fake teeth, I'm your girl. Otherwise, you have to wait until next year when I'm in family dentistry, or after that when I graduate! Dear God I hope i can get through to graduation.
Mick is taking appointments, I'm sure. 😉
The gloves and remnants of disinfect help with it, and Mick carries a little magic bag that takes the edge off. Then his own abilities hello calm the patient. I think he would have chosen a different job if he hadn't had such good experiences with the dentist as a kid. And he's a stubborn bugger. He wanted to do it, so he made it work for him... Mostly.
And yeah, you're right about the scars. Poor Mick.
Thanks for commenting!
Yeah, I know it's not for everyone. If you can handle it, that's great. If not, I understand. I'm glad you enjoy the story otherwise. This story is a kind of therapy for me and unfortunately it got ugly at some points. There's warm and fuzzy in it but there's also knives, blood, and bad things. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Yes! This!
Mick doesn't realize how close to the edge he is since he's been constantly in crisis mode. But things are going to settle down and he's going to need a support system
And yeah, Tigger isn't much on empathy. He mostly thinks of how everyone can serve his needs. Most everyone falls all over themselves to give him whatever he wants. Mick is going to have to figure out how to negotiate with him. It's good to be king, though?
You're so sweet!
Thank you so much! You made me really happy on a very crazy day! I started my first root canal on a real patient! It was very stressful but it went well! I'm hoping next year won't be so crazy and then after that I'm done with school and will probably go crazy writing. Thank you so much for your patience.
I fixed it! I forgot they're comments here not reviews.
Zeru is awesome. He actually gets Mick pretty well and respects him a lot. Riley is just what Mick needs right now. Zeru was trying to convince the other two to give Mick and Riley some space and was caught up in the overexcited charge into the bathroom.
And Mick isn't alone anymore. It's kind of crazy and wonderful. He doesn't really know what to do with it.
Thank you so much! Yeah, it's definitely time Mick stopped trying to make himself pretend all the bad things didn't happen. He has support and more safety, he's stronger. Unfortunately dealing with trauma is really hard and painful.
I was warm.
My eyes felt leaden, but opening them didn't seem important. I was too comfortable to worry about looking around. Besides, if I woke up, I'd probably have to pull myself out of my comfy spot and deal with shit I didn't want to deal with. I felt pillows under my head and heavy blankets on top of me. One seemed to be made of fur. I ran my fingers through it. It was thick and smooth, but not very soft. It was extra warm, like an electric blanket, and was heavy as though it was weigh
Ugh, I'm sorry. I PROMISE I haven't forgotten poor little Tavo. I just don't know when I can work on it. I will come back to it, but it really might be a while >.<
