You know what I love about fanfiction? It's allowed to be millions of words long. Writers are allowed to take their time, to be realistic about the grueling process of recovering from abuse. I love that this story takes for-freaking-ever for anything to happen. I love that the process is slow and painful and makes you want to tear your hair out. I love that it feels so honest.
