Fics like In and Out of Hand

When one child goes unpunished after getting the other in constant trouble, resentment is bound to bloom among siblings. Max knows exactly how to get her awful stepbrother Billy in trouble. Pranks lead to an all-out war between them, until Max winds up getting him in more trouble than anticipated and learns just how brutish his father, Neil, can be... Neil's actions help her realize Billy might be the way he is for a reason. With a change of heart, Max wants to be the friend Billy so desperately needs. But it might be too late to fix things between them. On a mission to see another side of him, she searches for a way past his armor to be his strongest ally... instead of his worst nightmare. Can Max fix things—or is it too late? Contains disciplinary spankings and child abuse. Readers often comment this is the emotional, realistic, well-written, true-to-canon, relationship-focused Billy and Max redemption fic they've been looking for.
