This v long fic is getting harder to read.
Is toxic monogamy a phrase?
it keeps on being like 'there's only one person for me, there's never been anyone else, there never will be'
and I get the feeling this is the underlying reason it is a time travel fic???
like it can't just ignore canon or do different after the curtain falls, because people have to be The One for it to be True Love???

added to the jealousy equals violence equals romance thing it has going...

not sure I'm having fun reading this

Ew. I totally think 'toxic monogamy' is a thing. I say that as someone broadly monogamous, too, just... I hate the "jealousy equals violence equals romance" thing, and "there's never been anyone else = true love", and "this is the most important relationship, friendship gets a supporting role" thing that often goes with it.
