   Summary

   Nesta Archeron has always struggled with mental health, her self-hatred, and her anger. She thought that after everything with Cassian and the Queen, she had recovered. She was rebuilding her relationships and had friends now. But after she makes a decision her family can't understand, she falls deeper down than her family or she could have ever imagined. But the further you fall, the better the view is once you reach the top.

   SPOILER ALERT: Takes place after HOFAS, specifically the "Ember and Randall" bonus chapter, so DO NOT READ if you have not read HOFAS or care about spoilers. This is an AU post-HOFAS essentially

   TRIGGER WARNING: There will be graphic depictions of self-harm, suicidal thoughts, blood, and injuries. Please be careful when you read this.
