Bound By Pain, Tied By Love

Summary:

Till wasn’t supposed to survive the final round against Luka. But he did.
Now, with the rebellion, he’s trying to heal — to be normal again, whatever that means after everything he’s lost. Surrounded by people who’ve become his family, he almost believes things can get better. Almost. Because nothing about this world stays kind for long, and Till’s life is about to turn upside down once more — in the best and worst ways possible.

Notes:

Hello to everyone who comes here for the first time and to those who follow me.
I've been writing this fic for over a month now. I came up with it while writing my last fic, and I was going to upload it earlier, but I started university, and I don't have that time, sadly.
I'm very serious about the Slow Burn tag, though some of the people were quite rude in the comments about not liking slow burn, so I'm not forcing anyone. I like long fics with a good plot. If I just want smut, I'll look for something shorter. Not really convincing you to read this, wow, but I'm being honest cuz as I said, I read a lot of rude or childish comments...
But mostly I'm grateful to the ones who stayed through it anyway and were very kind!
So yes, things unfold quite slowly. I still tried to be in tune with the series and the characters, and to be realistic, and you'll see why everything is for a reason. We focus on Till at the beginning and then Luka separately, so there is more understanding of their actions. I managed to do art just for the cover this summer, and I don't have time to draw even if I want to. I'm very busy with university, so I'll think about whether to put up a playlist at least later, maybe.
Comments are very important to me. I really like reading comments, and I'd be happy to hear your opinion
I know it's a pain, how slowly it's developing, it hurts me too, haha, but that's how it is. For now, I have no other ideas for LukaTill fics. I have many ideas for Ivan and Till, though, that will break many hearts.
I don't have a specific upload schedule i will try to upload one chapter every week for sure i won't abandon this fic, I will finish it and i have over 16 chapters somewhere and there is too much editing to do, but i will make it possible i am happy with the way i wrote Luka's character and in general what direction this whole story is going and I hope you will like it as much as my last fic and I don't know if I have anything more to say on the subject and in fact when I have something important I will often upload notes at the beginning of the chapter
And I know that right now you are expecting to scroll down and see chapter one, but I decided that I wanted to upload this now as an introduction, and later I will upload chapter one with the cover of the fic. Overall, I wanted to clarify how this fic will stand without saying much, and I hope you like it. There are more tags to be added, more story to write, and I certainly have more to say, but for now that's it, and yes...
Thanks if you read this, and sorry if you were expecting chapter one, but i hope it won't disappoint you I have to say that the beginning will stick a lot with the story from the comics with Till and the rebels basically.
I also love the relationship between Dewey, Isaac and Till how they treat him like a brother this was the most fun and sweet thing for me to write and I hope you'll like it.
And no more spoilers and empty words haha, I would be happy if you subscribe to this fic to get notifications for each new chapter and see you soon!
