It's been ten years since Freed ran away from their family. After a coming-out gone wrong, they fled their religious commune and traveled over two thousand miles to start a new life in Magnolia.

Now Freed is twenty-six, living with their boyfriend Laxus and working at the Pride Center to help kids like them. Freed has friends, a degree, and a chosen family who love them for who they are. Things seem perfect, until an unexpected visitor shows up on their doorstep, and it forces them to face the life they left behind.

Part of the 'only hope for me is you' au, set five years after 'crash & burn'

Having to tell you family, friends.. it's hard and could be frustrating at times. There may be someone who can help you through it. Some people don't have that person. But there are times where that person would come into their life, and just make things easier, and help you through dark times. - Nick, better known as Sapnap, has problems with his dysphoria. For years, he's had to deal with it alone. His best friends, Clay WasTaken, better known as Dream in school, and George Davidson, knew about it of course.. but whenever they their hardest to help Nick, things would stay the same. And not just that, Nick had come out as trans around his 15th birthday. His parents supported him of course, so did his friends. But people around them just didn't understand. But one day, people from the nearby nation called L'Manberg had gone to visit where Nick and his friends lived, the SMP. Nick met a tall British brunette, who told him something that Nick wanted to be true for so long.. something that he wanted, needed even; "I didn't realize who I was until I stopped being who I wasn't..." Nick spoke quietly. "I promise, you won't be alone again," the man said. - Check info page for warnings and characters. All credit goes to the person who came up with the idea/plot for this book!
