Cinderella 3, trigger: abusive families and patterns of abuse (I think) anonymous July 3 2011, 04:20:03 UTC

When a child has been abused for most of (if not all of) their life, be it physically, mentally or verbally, it can be hard for them (even if they break out of the abuse) to understand and live with 'normal' family relationships, if they don't have anything 'normal' to base their lives on.

So, Cinderella and/or Anastasia trying to deal with non-abusive family situations, and not knowing how to live in families without the abuse. Not knowing/understanding what is a 'proper' threshold for punishment for children, or not punishing them at all so they don't accidently abuse them.

Basically Cinderella and/or Anastasia dealing with the aftereffects of Lady Tremaine's emotional/verbal/mental/physical (just not sexual, please... That hits too close to home for me) abuse.

Cinderella/Prince and/or Anastasia/Baker

And I would much appreciate it if it was a 'happy' ending, or at least hopeful? Pretty please? ^^;

Well, I couldn't not fill this when I saw it, especially as it's something I feel personally. Lots of angst, moderate amounts of fluff, in the fill. To be fair, I was considering prompting something similar myself, so thank you, anon.

Title: Ex Tenebris Lux
Author: afterandalasia
Fandom: Cinderella
Pairing: Cinderella/Prince Charming

Rating: Teen
Word count: 2,673
Summary: When you have lived in the dark, how can you learn to come to the light? When you have been taught evil, how can you teach good? Some things never leave us, and Cinderella fights to escape the ghosts of her past so that she can offer hope to her family.

Warnings: Mentions of abuse/child abuse, abuse aftermath, miscarriage.

Notes: As prompted by Anon at the disney_kink kink meme. Approximate translation of the title is "From darkness, light" (please excuse any poor Latin on the part of the author). Cut to a journal entry due to warnings.

Thank you! To hear this means a lot to me, as this fic was... yeah, feelings, that's probably the best way to put it. I'm really glad that you enjoyed it though, and it was good to put a happy ending on. ♥
