I prefer not including too many author notes or disclaimers cluttering up my summaries, hence my prefaces.

Just for emphasis: this contains descriptions of what people with eating disorders do in detail. I have made a point to avoid explicit descriptions, avoid mentioning numbers except when especially relevant to the story, and to avoid glorifying the illnesses mentioned in any way. It may still be triggering for some. Caution is advised.

Chapter titles and title subsections belong to various lyrics by Digital Daggers, none of those ideas are my own work.

This story is Lizzie-centric, conveying Lizzie/Edwin friendship only. Though it references events in Give Up, Give In, and therefore will contain some scenes of Dasey. It is not, however, a true Dasey story like the one it references.

With that said, it isn't necessary to read it to understand the storyline.

Please review, and I hope you enjoy the story!
