   • wrote this to vent and cope and proceeded to trigger myself more
   • and so then what originally was going to be hurt with no comfort
   • became hurt with comfort because i needed it to recoup
   • and to be able to not feel like this was a huge risk to post
   • in that it wouldnt just be a potential major ball of whump and triggering to people
   • bc yknow id rather not do that if i could have a say in it

   Summary

   His most recent stumble in healing is behind him. It's time to move on. Again (or so he thinks).

   Really it was just one more block taken from the jenga tower that is Xie Lian's mental health. And it was already missing quite a few.

   ....

   This fic does take place after the previous fic in the series, but you don't need to read that fic to understand this one.
