Nickywire قصص

They laugh. They remember. Then one of Richey's old lines walks in and sits down at the table.

Young, beautiful scum pissed of the world

A wedding. A girl brought to distract. A boy who loved too much. And another who couldn't love enough. In the thick of a Cardiff summer, love slips sideways, through cigarettes, sharp words, a greenhouse and the silences between them. No one leaves untouched.

Time fractures. A girl arrives in 1991 Cardiff claiming to be from the future. She meets the Manic Street Preachers before the myth is written. before the loss, before the rot. Richey falls. James fights. Nicky remembers. And she disappears. This is the beginning. The first spark. The version of history they were never meant to keep. For the next parts: Part 2: From Despair to Where? Part 3: Everything Must Go

She is running out of jumps. Richey is already unraveling. Carving the myth into his own skin. She's not back. She's chasing him through time. One year too late. One wound too early. This is the story of the myth before it ossified, and the girl who tried to reach him before history did.

In just 12 hours, she'd shattered the Manic Street Preachers' lives. The ghost of her time with them still haunts the band. Nicky Wire's life has turned into a hellish rollercoaster of drama and denial. It's up to him to serve the truth about that night... Even if it's the last thing he does. (Notes: ILtFA is inspired by this other MSP fan story by @noneedforgoodsouls called Faceless Sense of Void You don't need to read it first but it may help. Opening is deliberately a bit slow)

You're a member of an up and coming band, but are currently unsigned. Flyers begin to appear for a new competition, the Battle of the Bands, with the chance to be signed to a label. Nothing can get in your way, until you fall in love with a member of the rival band, Manic Street Preachers. Will you win the competition and his heart?
