'He had been an inferno these past six months, burning so hot and for so long he feared there was nothing left but ashes.' This is a story of violence and destruction, of friendship and healing. - There is drug use, themes of self-harm and some consent issues (NOTHING graphic). But please don't read if these issues may upset you. NOTE: This story is populated with characters from "The Raven Cycle" series by Maggie Stiefvater. You do NOT need to have read those books in order to read/enjoy my story. (However, you should read TRC anyway because it's an AMAZING series.) I do NOT own these characters or the setting. I'm merely borrowing them for a short while to tell this angsty little tale.

Gloryhound - (Noun) : A person who's both consciously and subconsciously willing to give up anything to make his or her ambition true. Through the multicolored kaleidoscope of the fluorescent adolescent time of everyone's lives, the camera pans towards Gotfrey Newell. Full time best friend, part time hooligan and a boy who's never too far from following the boundaries of parental guidance. But life's invisible puppet hands behind the curtains are always a bit too bored with the monotonous performance of the protagonist, as the background of his life changes without cue cards or commands. His spiked baseball shoes and shin guards with homerun dust, is just the beginning of a daily routine, before change sweeps everyone of their feet through its silent reform. So strap yourself in the bones of the narrator, going through life with the high knowledge of social interaction and unfilled craving for affection. Peppered by a group of intelligent, difficult, lovely and ambitious characters who never fail to impress or to disappoint. " Gloryhounds. " A story about villains, heroes, the afraid, the leftovers, the oddballs, the phantom of the nights, the lovers, the dreamers and the ambitious.
