Summary
Trish Una has always been a very good person. Better than good. The best. Perfect.
She didn't make mistakes. Or at least not ones everyone couldn't sweep under the table.
Ever since her parent's divorce, everyone's treated her like glass. In a sense, it's given her near perfect immunity.
And that's something she's fallen into the bad habit of testing. Pushing the limits of everyone around her just to see how much they'd take.
What was that opening quote from that one show she was watching the other day? 'There's something dangerous about the boredom of teenage girls', or something like that.
Her mother was listening to the TV from the kitchen that morning. She said it was true but Trish didn't really get it.
It's funny that she remembers that now; tears running down her face as she sits on the snowy bank of a river that's yet to be frosted over - staring at the merciless rip currents coursing through the icy water.
Trish Una is a very good person who's done something horrible.

Summary
“Imagine the look on the Northern King’s face when he comes to negotiate and collect his son to find he’s been bound and broken beneath your feet.”
“Wait—mine?” Akira’s heart thundered in his chest. It all clicked together in his mind what his mother intended. The catch he had been dreading. “That’s not what I meant when I asked you to let him live.”
“The world is a cruel place, Akira. It’s time you learned to control others before they control you.”
The doors below shuttered with a loud clang, muffling the growls of distress from their captive. Everything inside Akira twisted painfully. This wasn’t his intention at all.
“Mother, I—“
“You wanted him. You have him.” His mother’s voice dropped low as she said, “Now break him.”

Bookmarker's Notes
Triggering yet cathartic at the same time. Very bittersweet. I think this is the story that has made me cry consecutively the most. Every chapter I was crying, and the epilogue had me taking a pause because it put a weight on my chest. The weight is uncomfortable, yet welcome. I guess this fic made me feel somewhat seen in a way. I relate to Sun very much, some days more than others, and I also struggle with depression and worse, but I'm lucky enough to have meds I can take now.
So seeing the end felt cathartic. Even though it's a path I wouldn't choose nowadays, even though I didn't want that for him either... seeing the family react is just what I think was needed from the beginning. I don't know if they really understand, and I don't know if they ever will. All I hope is that they never make Sun, whether present or not, regret his choices.
This story is very well written, nothing feels out of place, and I can vividly imagine every scene in my head. I'm not a writer so I don't think I could write a real love letter to this fic, and while I do consider myself a better artist than writer, I don't know if I could truly draw any of those scenes and do this story justice. I want to! Very deeply, but I don't know if I could.
This feels like a story that needs to be found rather than told about, if that makes sense.
I could've written this all in a comment, but I guess this feels a bit better. A bit more private in a way. So if you see this, feel free to ignore my rambling, I mostly wrote this for me. Just know that this story has touched my heart in a way no other has come close to yet and that it should be a source of pride to have done that to some many people. I'm glad it exists and I'm glad I got to read it.
