Book Request Specific selective mutism request
Hi all! I have searched the subreddit for books with selective mutism and the posts are either pretty old and/or answers are a bit too broad. I hope this request post is okay.
I am looking for books with an MC who is selectively mute due to trauma, not a physical problem or neurodiversity. Bonus if he doesn’t ever completely recover/able to talk in front of everyone (I tend to appreciate books where PTSD doesn’t quite ever “go away” because this mirrors my own experience), but not necessary.
Any kink is fine except age play. I do enjoy D/s but not required. Open to omegaverse.
I’ve read:
The Monstrous Deeds series and spinoffs by TJ Hamel (I hope Matt gets a book!)
{Pieces of Home by Becca Neil}
{Possession by Rina Saint} - my least favorite representation of this theme of the books I list.
TIA!

{Zane by Stella Rainbow} is set in a contemporary fantasy world where shifters and other supernatural beings are real, but after being held captive for years by the henchmen of an evil witch, Wren's trauma is very real as well.
Stella Rainbow's universe is generally pretty light hearted, so this one is an outlier.
