Breaking Free
The Weight of Freedom
Description
When Damion is freed from ritualized captivity, his world widens into something unbearable. Every act —eating, dressing, speaking— is a battlefield between memory and choice. Guided by new allies, he begins to rebuild his sense of self, one fragile decision at a time. Healing does not arrive as revelation but as repetition, persistence, and the willingness to keep living through the ache.
Content Warning: Psychological Drama
This story contains scenes of psychological distress, dubiously consensual intimacy, emotional dependency, complex trauma recovery, and themes of power imbalance and identity reconstruction.
This story explores the fragile process of healing after long-term dehumanization, the difficulty of regaining agency, and the intimate entanglements that form in the aftermath of captivity.
Proceed with care.
