summary

Tommy has fucked up. Look he knows he has. He pushed people away, took his brother's meds, and caused his other brother to have a meltdown. He's done some bad things. But that's in the past and he's doing better. He's made his amends and worked on his self worth. Just because he's fucked up in the past doesn't mean he is a fuck up. He understands that. Now, over a year down the line, things... things are good.

Of course, that changes with the appearance of a new foster kid. Who is this Ranboo guy anyway?

Or: the obligatory sbi foster au sequel, but with a focus on healing as a long term process.

thoughts - even tho it caused me a lot of pain and anguish (/lh), this fic was an amazing read and a really, really good sequel to take this compass, follow it home. watching everyone take their time to heal and learn that it’s okay to exist and take up space gave me hope for my own improvement. overall, this fic was kind of gritty in places (seriously, heed the CWs please. take care of yourselves and be safe) but it was still an amazing read centered on healing. [also, you do need to read the part before for context, just a heads up]
