A review by ennui
Honeythorn by Marina Vivancos

4.0

Pure hurt/comfort. 
Tropes include: A/B/O verse, arranged marriage and bonds, the main character (Milan) being neglected by his love interest (Raphael) due to a lot of misunderstandings leading to MIlan almost dying from bond neglect.
Bonus points for Milan standing up for himself and being a strong independent character; we admire all kinds of trauma representation and whump here, but it's refreshing (and all the more painfully wonderful) to see that strong spirit gradually get broken down)
