   Summary

   A girl deeply scarred and left to the wild is out of strings she can pull. Chased by an old nightmare, a new one seems to save her. Post-Jackson Abby is deeply scared and trying to put on a face to continue life. Thankfully a new light, Cove, has walked into it rather unexpectedly. Abby enjoys some time to try and maintain a normal life and explore her sexuality, before all hell (Ellie) eventually breaks loose. Cove herself tries to find meaning in a life of endless wandering, will Abby give her one? Her own past isn't any brighter than Abby's, but maybe that is just what they both need.

   Slow-burn, lots of tension
   No use of y/n, but from OC's pov
   Badass OC, no weak Mary Sue

   “My savior, knight in shining armor. . or whatever” I tease after a breath, and I let myself ease into a gentle smile.

   “Ah yes, my smartass,” she smiles.

   What an easy one to crack.
