Author’s Summary: A story is an abstraction. He wanted something tangible, something he could hold on to.
Review:

A paroled Toby Beecher tries cope with his past through his writing, but it all comes rushing back when a particularly persistent interviewer comes to his doorstep. As they become closer and closer, Toby has to confront the unpleasant memories in Oz held in him, and reveal the truth behind his stories.

This fic is a remix of geneticallydead’s story Chrysalis, which I recc’d previously on ER (here, if you’re wondering), and it’s amazing. It's a little confusing and hard to keep track of the plot in the beginning, but it picks up later, and things become considerably less muddled. This story's a little grittier and more down-to-earth than its predecessor, but given the context on which this story was written, this is an incredibly poignant and sad story about dealing with tragedy and hardship.
