Exit, Pursued by a Bear by E.K. Johnston
4.0
Really beautiful story. A lot of wonderful supporting characters. Even though it’s based around a trauma the aftermath is almost ideal in that the victim has adequate support. Outside of the shitty bf everyone else is like an example of how to suport someone in crisis.
I really appreciate the respect and strength given to Hermione. She maintains her person hood and is allowed to think and feel in very natural ways.
I do wonder if this story is similar to any real life victims. I have never know such quick recovery but my experiences and those I know of are very different. I do wish we got to see the unfolding of her memory though I know that’s not necessarily bound to happen. I would expect more haunting of the feeling of the night\trauma which I suppose we do see. Idk I’m curious if other victims find this story relatable. I found it enviable as terrible as that may sound. But to get dna evidence, to not remember but to know for sure it’s no one close to you, to be almost an adult, to have loving and supportive family and friends. It’s just not the circumstances you usually hear.
