Two in Six Billion
Trigger warnings...rape, bullying, suicide, murder, and Stockholm Syndrome. This one was difficult. Given the ages of the MC and ML, it felt much worse to see each of them ignored and abandoned at their lowest. I wish this had gone a different direction in the end. I felt like it was ultimately a wasted opportunity. There is no way to consider this a "happy" ending...it just ends with the implication that things are going to get much worse for the MC. This is not BL or romance. Read only if you are braced for a quick dose of trauma.

This was incredible. I usually avoid historical stories because of the even greater inequality that existed then. There is a lot of that here but a happy ending nonetheless. It was full and bright and painful and beautiful. Highly recommend. The art is simple but the story is not. ️

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. It's toxic from start to finish. First, waaaaayyy more trauma than I thought I was getting. Some of it was pretty triggering and horrible. There is INTENSE bullying in this (some from the three MLs). It gets DARK in places and disgusting. Second, I wasn't a fan of the art at all. It felt surreal and made the sad stuff worse. Third, the stories all have HEA but they seem kind of cheaply gotten, if that makes sense. I wouldn't read this again. There were no consequences for horrible behavior and I deeply hate that.
