Summary
What if Apo found out and came to terms with who Owen was before Owen realized it? What if that changes Apo's behavior? What if Apo got the drop on Owen because he had information Owen didn't remember?
This fic is a slow burn Owen Redemption arc, not an Owen Apologist arc. c!Owen's opinions and actions are wrong. I wrote this because c!Apo deserves better, and I will move heaven and hell to make sure he sees his friend redeemed. No obvious pairings, no dating, no pda. All art is mine. Cover is my art on a nabbed screenshot background.
Research on Owen's change of opinion is based on the book How Minds Change by David McRaney. High-key recommend listening to the audiobook, as it's the first ray of hope I've seen for a future that's actually going to get better.
TW:
fantasy racism (canon), especially in chapters 7-10
violence in chapters 6&9 (nondescriptive)
depression in chapters 9, 10, &13-20, and especially intense depression in chapter 16
