Edel Doyle was sixteen when she ran from Dublin with nothing but a backpack, bruised knuckles, and a lifetime of reasons not to trust anyone.
John Kavanagh was the respectful golden boy who offered her a place to stay, and accidentally became her home.
A story about addiction, healing, first love, and the family you find when you thought you were impossible to love.
note:
This is a fanfiction based on john and edel kavanagh's backstory from the boys of tommen series by chloe walsh. some of what's included here is canon, like edel growing up in ballymun, running away at sixteen, being taken in by the kavanaghs, attending tommen, and later building a life with john, but a lot of their earlier story hasn't been fully shown in the books yet.
because of that, this fic also includes my own interpretations, theories, and completely made-up details to help fill in the gaps and connect everything together. scenes, dialogue, timelines, relationships, and specific events are fictionalized by me, but written to fit the characters, their personalities, and the overall tone of the series as closely as possible.
basically, this is my version of what could've happened before boys of tommen, a mix of canon facts and my own imagination to build john and edel's full story.
