Also, what am I doing, you guys?  I swear, the point of these is that there's always one in a line where you're thinking, "Gaslighting isn't a trigger for me or anything, but damned if I know how to work it into a fic."

Ahhh!! I'm writing that (and for myself - I have a bad habit of not sharing) right now. I did not know that was the term for it though!! Need to remember this term...it is...a fav form of abuse to write. Yes, you can look at me like that. I am truly terrible to my characters. *SOBS*
