That was painful to read -- largely because I agree with everything it says about our timeline. Having Calliope actually reach out to Vagary as a touchstone of reassurance at the end helped a lot, though. It says, "Yeah, maybe I don't like this, but there are worse things." Perspective is always good.
Noting, because now I feel that I should, that just because Thing Y is worse than Thing X doesn't mean that Thing X isn't a problem. Would it help their situation if Vagary could get to the point of becoming a blue-plate special instead of a supervillain? Because it seems to me that their two worst points of conflict are the non-consensual nature of the bond and him being a supervillain, in that order.
