Waiting for a Happy Ending - Masterpost
Here it is! I've finally gotten the story to a place where part one is ready to go up. It will have its moments, but overall it's going to be far less triggery than the first one, so I don't feel as guilty over my word choice right now when I say I hope you enjoy it.
Having said that? Still as triggery as hell. This is still based on real kids who have gone missing and been found years later, and how the media has responded to the cases, although it doesn't follow the Steven Stayner story anymore and has facts and events taken from multiple stories. So that means some of the more revolting things in this story happened to a kid in reality.
Here's a list to give you a general idea:
- Past child abduction
- Past non-con (and likely some fairly graphic descriptions of non-con, including things that weren't covered before now)
- Past Sexual/Physical/Emotional/Child abuse
- Past Prostitution/Sexual exploitation of a minor
- Drug/Alcohol abuse (self-medicating)
- Some language
- Discussion of STIs
- Internalized homophobia
- Blatant homophobia
- Bullying/Victim-blaming
- Discussion of cutting/self-harm
- Inspired by real events

Sequel to Looking for a Happy Ending
Note: Huge thanks to my betas LoonyLevicorpus and fingerstowords for taking the fic and trying to help me avoid stupid typos and things that make no sense this time around. Any mistakes you find are all from last-minute edits I made before I posted. Because sometimes I can't leave good enough alone.
