That’s a shame! It’s absolutely haunting and an incredibly good exploration of the themes of the setting. Like it meaningfully hits where the setting started and kinda challenges where it ended up. Its climax left me hollow for a while. Identity death as murder was such a gut punch.
Like I enjoyed a lot of HDG during its run on ROM (kinda had to for a while there, lol), but Independence was incredibly well crafted and stuck with me (still haunts) more than any other in the setting. It’s sad if people are unwilling to engage with something deconstructive and thoughtful like that
I've got no horse in this race but wow the fact that the fic willing to engage with the themes of the premise at a deeper level is BANNED speaks *volumes*
