Can't Handle This

by LazyFae

"A lot of people would probably be thrilled to get a second chance. I wasn't one of them. I didn't want an entire second go at f**king up. I had died and that was supposed to be that." With a girl and a man barely convinced to give the new Hatake family a try in the wake of their painful pasts, they could be each others' final nail, or salvation. (OCish SI) (Not Kashi/SI)

This is simply here to serve as a warning note:

The next section has a dramatically dark shift in tone and content.

I didn't even realise quite how heavy it was when I was writing it. Part of the reason why it goes into as much detail as it does is that literally while I was writing, I was coming to the realisation that a prominent authority figure in my life was far too much like the antagonist in a number of ways. So you're basically going to get my emotional journey of dealing with that realisation as it was occurring.

Then I had to take a long-ass break and deal with what had settled in my mind by getting them out of my life, which was a fight, and coming to terms with it all.
