Ive never been more devastated and absolutely destroyed by such an amazing story. Both of them coming from such horrible circumstances and never having anyone else aside from one another, this trope is genuinely one of my favorites. I love the realism of their characters, such as Lewellyns very simple minded thinking and his development, first starting off as this creepy genius mastermind in the beginning to simply a man who wants to find the only person who’s ever treated him as one. Shavonne was such a complex character with such a range of emotions that were so well written out, every action and flaw and every hurt yet love he caused. The eventual realization that he shldnt fear having only Lewellyn, that he shld stop running away and finally facing his life. The way they suffered so mich throughout the story due to circumstances they had no control over, and het despite it all through their unending love for one another they were able to survive and live an actually good life, is beyond me. So many chances for Shavonne to have done the wrong thing, so many times Lewellyn cldve started resenting Shavonne in the beginning for the way he turned on him, and yet they were so true to one another despite the otherworldly pressure and pain it caused. I love the initial wave of Shavonnes fear of being in love with a serial killer or having his doubts about Lewellyn in the beginning of their relationship, to loving Lewellyn so unconditionally and easily even after all his memories came back, falling for Lewellyn was as easy as seeing him as human, and i think its so beautiful. And the undoubtedly human way Lewellyn loves Shavonne, loyal and overprotective, and yet he was never truly “tamed” like the dog the guards wanted him to be. He didnt hug that pillow, he didnt stop waiting, and he definitely didnt stop worrying or loving Shavonne even if Shavonne told him and wanted him to. The guards so wholeheartedly believed that Lewellyn wldn js become some loyal mutt to Shavonne who they cld control, but Lewellyn loved so much like a human despite how he was conditioned to be, and i love the story for so deeply emphasizing that. Everything about this story is perfection and I love the way the author never truly bothered to flesh out a character aside from our main ones, bcs at the end of the day Lewellyn and Shavonne only ever had eyes for each other and so the author would not care to think and develop anyone else but them. Author absolutely cooked with this one its such an amazing and rare thought out piece of literature with so many touches of mystery and romance all so intertwined intensely and work so well with one another. I fear i will never find another story like this ever again. Absolute kudos author
