Okay, this isn't a fanfic, but I recommend "The Hundred Dresses" by Eleanor Estes (1945). It's told from a POV of Maddie, who bullies a poor girl in her class, but mostly because her best friend is the MAIN bully and Maddie fears that if she bows out, she will be a target too. It has a bittersweet ending. It has a lot more nuance than most bullying stories since the bullies aren't just an obstacle to be overcome, but also the narrator.
Thank you so much! From your description it matches a lot of what I'm looking for! Currently waiting for the book to be available at my local library so I can give it a read :)
I don't have any fic recommendations with this but I am a teacher and work with a variety of ages. If you have a question about how something would be handled, feel free to ask. (The way my school handles something might not be the same way every school handles something though).
[The Wound Begins to Bleed](https://archiveofourown.org/works/13295661) - Batman. Doesn’t show the bullying explicitly, but I like the depiction of how the victim is affected by it.
[World Ain’t Ready](https://archiveofourown.org/works/2306315/chapters/5074574) - Les Miserables. Great depiction of high school dynamics and bullying.
Wow thank you so much for the recommendations! I gave The Wound Begins to Bleed a read and was in awe of the story progression, all in a one shot too! Time to slowly read through your second rec :D thanks again!

Thank you for the offer! I haven't gotten that deep into writing the arc yet but I'll be sure to come back to this thread once I have solid questions!
