Summary
He wasn't going to let the thoughts win. That part he was sure of, had been sure of since Henry was born, a promise he made in a hospital room to a baby who couldn't understand a dang thing, yet he said it and made a vow: I am not going to do that to you. I don't care what it costs me. You are not going to grow up carrying the thing I've carried.
He hadn't specified the terms, back then, hadn't thought through what "that" would come to mean over the next years, hadn't imagined that the promise would eventually mutate into something with far more tentacles than the original sentence suggested. It became not just I won't kill myself which had been the plain meaning of it, but I won't be seen as anything less than fine, ever, by anyone, because being anything less than fine is the first step down a road that ends in—
So yeah, he wasn't going to do that. But the pressure had to go somewhere. It always had to go somewhere, and he'd stopped, a long while back, believing he had the right to put it anywhere near another living person.
In which Ted Lasso self-harms as a means of avoiding the more permanent solution to his pain.

Summary
After surviving foster care and a childhood defined by instability, Daisy Johnson enters adulthood with brilliance to spare and no clear map for who she is. Healing makes room for ambition - and now Daisy must navigate elite academic spaces, the looming pull of following in her adoptive parents' footsteps, and the fierce vulnerability of falling in love. She finds herself learning that the hardest lessons are not taught in classrooms or on missions, but in fully becoming herself - one choice, one mistake, and one hard-earned truth at a time
Through every milestone, Melinda May remains her anchor. The woman who raised and shaped her must now learn to let her daughter take risks, make mistakes, and walk into the world on her own terms.
Just finished: Agent Daisy Johnson (Sousa) --> Coming up next: Daniel (just pure fluff and romance)
