the_magiciansFic: Thousand Doorways
Pairings: Quentin/Eliot, background Margo/Fen, Julia & Quentin
Summary:
Eliot touched his arm, his face full of concern. And the concern was the worst fucking thing in the world. Quentin couldn’t. He couldn’t –
And it had all been so beautiful.
Sometimes memories of trauma knock you over at the worst possible moment. They're assholes like that.
Tags: Depression, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Canon Disabled Character, Flashbacks, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD, Past Sexual Assault, Therap, yAutism Spectrum, Canon-typical references to bestiality, Cuddling & Snuggling, Long conversations over coffee, Acting with good intentions but getting things wrong, Dogs help by being dogs, Quentin/Therapy
Notes: Thank you to templemarker for a very thoughtful and considered beta, and to capeofstorms for her patience and suggestions. I went on to blithely ignore both of them when it suited me and remaining mistakes are my own.
This fic explores depression and past sexual trauma, including flashbacks to past sexual assault, past coercion and a character struggling to understand consent. As such, it may be upsetting to read.
I am autistic, and read Quentin as autistic too. This fic isn’t about Quentin’s autism, but it felt disingenuous for me not to touch on it in a fic about mental health. Quentin has some internalised ableism and uses some ableist language here.
