Fics like The Sixth String: A Symphony

Two teenage boys, Toki and Skwisgaar, live in uniquely different hells in the frigid Scandinavian Peninsula. Near Lillehammer, Norway, Toki suffers severe abuse at the hands of his hyper religious parents, wondering every day if it’ll be his last day alive if his father wields the chains too hard. Outside of Rättvik, Sweden, Skwisgaar lives in the shadow of his promiscuous and narcissistic mother whose actions cause Skwisgaar unseen harm, whittling away his sense of value with each poisoned word she launches. One morning the boys wake up the other’s body, having switched while they slept. At first assuming - and hoping - it’s just a bizarre dream, the boys begin swapping bodies regularly and they soon realize that this is reality and somewhere far away, another boy is suffering terribly. The two swear a solemn vow: That each will use their skills to help the other escape the torment that is their life and once they’re both free, they’ll meet and will help each other survive in the world. But is it possible to keep that deep of a promise when you’re held in a nightmare every waking moment and the one sworn to save you is hundreds of kilometers away, equally trapped and in danger?
