welcome to my personal freak show

feeling called out today

I never thought I would be here, writing fanfiction about real people, athletes even, based on an actual competition I watched on a streaming service I pay real money for. Yet here we are. Part of me wants to apologize for terminology I got wrong, the setting being off or the whole thing being OOC, but then again I want to believe that if someone reads this they’ll be able to forgive these things. Of course, it’s nothing but a whole lot of projection. I just wanted a self-indulgent story with lyrics for a title :)

now, this could be the last of all the rides we take So, hold on tight and don't look back -My Chemical Romance, The Kids from Yesterday

As he slid into the outrun, he tried to contain his frustration, trying to remind himself that even two steps forward, one step back, was progress. He was getting there, slowly, surely. Hopefully.
