This is an AU for Bound; a WhatIf!AU so to speak. What if my characters never reached the place they needed for development?

What if they completely missed it, rejected it, or turned away from it, and fell into depravity instead?

I know that many people don't actually know of my novel, or the characters (or how they're supposed to be), but keep in mind that no matter how warped any of them seem, they're the same.

And that's the scary part.
