Cecil Hobbes, an ex-PE teacher disgraced and looked down on in his hometown, has a new partner: Sir Valorous King, a knight of the realm, once a child of prophecy, and Cecil’s stalker.

A few months into their relationship, Cecil finally convinces Valorous to see a therapist, on the condition that Cecil attend one himself.

Content warnings in this chapter include discussions of paedophilia and child sexual abuse, rape and sexual assault, abuse, mental illness, obsessive behaviour, trauma, and violence.

Would recommend reading King’s Service before starting this:

It wasn’t accurate to say that Cecil Hobbes had never lived with someone in his house before. Of course he had — he’d never been married in his life, and by definition none of his relationships really lasted more than two or three years, but he’d had lads in his house, over the years, here and there.
