Summary
By the time Eliot is back in his body and is released from the infirmary, Quentin is still asleep.
No, not asleep. Quentin is still in a coma. And Eliot put him there. The horrifying part, the part that pierces into him like barbed wire around his heart, his lungs, his abused liver... the part that makes him feel like he's made of electrical fencing, is that he remembers all of it.
He remembers every mark the Monster made on Quentin: every cut, every puncture, every punch, every burn. He remembers the feel of Quentin's bones breaking under the grip of his hands. He remembers the taste of Quentin's blood, as the Monster dragged Eliot's tongue over the open wounds he had imprinted into Quentin's skin with a shard of glass. He remembers the sounds Quentin made, broken moans and agonized cries. He remembers the choking and retching when Quentin started coughing up blood, and he remembers Quentin begging, begging for Eliot to wake up, to please wake up so the Monster couldn't hurt him anymore.
____
The Monster took Quentin hostage and tortured him for a month. The boys both have a lot of healing to do.

Summary
“I see him,” He says, voice crackling like a fire struggling to stay lit. “Every night when I go to sleep. I see him die. It’s never the same. And then I see his ghost, and he never goes away.” He offers her a wry smile, finally looking away from Quentin to meet her eyes. “I’m literally being haunted by the ghost of my past and there’s no escape. Sleep only makes it worse. Being drunk makes it more vivid. Being high makes me nauseous. I can’t fucking escape it or him or how much it fucking hurts.” He waves a hand. “Is that what you wanted to hear?”
He half expects the world to burst into flames around him. But no fire singes his skin. Kady just narrows her eyes, lets go of his knee and stands up. “Don’t go anywhere.”
He’s too tired to move. “Couldn’t if I wanted to,” he says.
Too tired to breathe, sometimes.

Or, a little bit of accidental magic, a significant amount of angst, and one resurrection.
