Summary
"S'Lang?"
The shaking doesn't stop, but it changes, going finer and faster. "Taizi dianxia?" The words are breathed with what sounds like half-broken hope.
There's only one reason for San Lang to be like this: something very bad has happened to Xie Lian.
Xie Lian and Hua Cheng decide to try bondage. It does not go well. This is closer to a "how not to BDSM" manual, although they manage to stumble their way into something that could almost be aftercare if you squint hard enough. It's also less dark than it sounds, though; it's mostly the comfort part of hurt/comfort.
It does not actually contain particularly explicit smut; if you're here for sexy bondage times, this is not the story for you. This is the opposite of that. This is about helping your lover put themselves back together when you've accidentally hit a trauma trigger.
Set post-canon and/or post-AU; this is part of my Life Unbound series but the references to it are minimal. It should be readable without reading the series.
