    Summary

    Freedom was supposed to fix everything.

    The nightmares. The anger. The feeling that reality might disappear if she looked away for too long.

    Instead, Christine is stuck in a tiny apartment, working a normal job, and discovering that surviving something doesn't mean you know how to live afterward.

    Felix, meanwhile, seems perfectly fine.

    He laughs too much. Jokes too often. Acts like the circus is just another bad memory they can leave behind.

    Christine hates him for it.

    Then one drunken night forces them into the same space for longer than either of them can tolerate, and old resentments start turning into dangerous conversations.

    Because the worst part of escaping isn't what they lost.

    It's realizing they're the only people who truly understand what happened.

    One terrible night changes absolutely nothing.

    Or maybe it changes everything.

     

    (not apart of elsewhere au- just a different darker vibe for fun! felix is jax, christine is pomni, and cathy is ragatha :) )
