Bruno: the Duke

Bruno: The Duke was written in the space love leaves behind.

How disorientation becomes exposure, and how exposure attracts something far more dangerous than what came before it. Wired to find order in other people's chaos, Bruno became the most useful instrument in a system designed to consume him, drawn in through queer desire, bound through chemical dependency, and dismantled through loyalty.

It names narcissistic abuse, coercive control, and CPTSD with an accuracy most accounts never achieve. Naming what happened before the reader has found the words themselves.
