Hazel and Gray by Nic Stone

I love a good retelling. This isn't one I enjoy. Sex trafficking, murder, bad mental health rep, treatment of Hazel as a tool and TSTL territory.

There so many elements that made me dislike the short story. Theme didn't match tone at all. Time line and locations didn't seem great. I didn't feel any connection between Hazel and Gray. It was uncomfortable to read about their sex life in a sex trafficking narrative.
