« Forgive me, for all the things I did but mostly for the ones I did not. » - Francis Abernathy, The Secret History by Donna Tartt. One-shot book for Francis Abernathy and Richard Papen. !! I do not own any of the characters !! Extra notes that I wanted to add: You thought this was going to be a book where Richard is the oh-so-perfect boyfriend and doesn't use the inner monologue that much? Well, if that's so, you're WRONG. His inner monologue is very annoying, just like in the actual book, because we need an #edgy Richard. He also romanticises everything (just like he does in the book) because I do that too and I want to use it as an opportunity to romanticise everything! Did you also think I was going to make Francis full of confidence, with stong will, self respect and no trauma dumps? You're WRONG AGAIN. He is an INFP, I wrote him as an INFP (derogatory). He is going to cry at least once in this book because I love the hurt/comfort/hurt/comfort trope!!
