Episode Four: "Death by a Thousand Cuts"

  (My sweet Ben gets his time to shine!!!)^^

  Hello, all! Normally I do a little update here, but I don't think I have much to update you on. I would ask that if you're reading and enjoying the story you please leave a comment letting me know, it means so incredibly much to see engagement on this story that I care about to a rabid degree and put so much time into. Also, for extra content, early access, and behind the scenes kinda stuff you can always check my socials (@/likegemstone on insta/threads, tumblr, twitter) and especially Patreon (also patreon.com/likegemstone)! That's about all I've got. Thanks so much for reading!!

  - very vague, one-line reference to coerced sex and domestic violence. I don’t think it’s significant enough to warrant an in-scene flag, but if you want to skip it, it’s in the fourth to last paragraph of the scene, the one that begins with “She never knew what mood she would find him…”)
