READ DESCRIPTION Johnathan Crane x Patient Reader. An 18 year old girl suffers from a mental disorder that Dr Crane takes an interest in, but It isn't just the disorder that catches his eye. Their love becomes so strong it drives her dangerously mad... more mad then she or him could ever imagine. You will be questioning everything, even after the book... ROMANCE + HORROR + SMUT STORY No Batman and not everything about crane that's mentioned is correct to the actual character in DC. ⚠️TW: Violence, Sexual Content, Alcohol/Drug Use, Gore, Mental Illness, Parental Issues, Smut, Murder, Extreme Kinks (dom/crane, blood, choking, hair pulling, spanking, age gap, toys, dub-con and daddy kink) and Mention of Abuse and SA. This story is gruesome and gory so if you aren't into that kind of stuff don't read. Also Johnathan is a lil toxic, but he's a villain so why wouldn't he be. {Creator: cvnty555}Complete
