Truth In Sincerity

Summary:

Beca hated the word life.

Notes:

In light of a message from an anon who said that the Beca/Aubrey relationship wasn’t believable, I felt compelled to, first off, post a link to the fic that takes you to the beginning, as well as explain something about the fic.

Mitchsen is not the focus of the story.

This is a story about Chloe and how she grows as a person while the world moves around her. Yes, we get glimpses into the other relationships in the story [Stynthia, Mitchsen] but, overall, it is about Chloe.

Of course there isn’t going to be much to make Mitchsen a believable pairing in it. We don’t see every single event of their relationship. 95% of it we see through Chloe’s eyes. If you try to follow the fic using the Beca/Aubrey pairing as a guide, you are going to miss the point of it.

So give it another read, yeah? And keep in mind that is it about Chloe, and Chloe finding her own path to happiness.

Chapter 1: Rule #76

Chapter Text

Life.

Beca hated the word. She really did. She didn’t like the way it sounded when you promised someone your life, but gave up. Really, she didn’t have much of a choice in giving up. It wasn’t for lack of trying. She tried to keep the relationship alive -- healthy -- despite the efforts of destruction that were thrown her way. She was determined, but a person can only fight for so long.

She gave up, and moved on. Every single day she woke up and hated herself for that, but she would never let anyone know, especially not her wife. It was her own private hell to deal with. No one would understand why she blamed herself, because she had tried so hard to save it.

In the end, life fucks you over.
