2019 Nargles: Most Inclusive Story/Series | Featured Story on June 2019
"I know I feel weak, but I know I'm strong."
Teddy told this to himself as often as he could, but he wasn't sure he believed it.
So... hello! This is the Teddy Lupin story that I was talking about vaguely on twitter and occasionally scream about. This is a fully plotted out novel, but there's no true 'plot' to it; it's just meant to be one of struggle and recovery, and I wrote it largely for myself. There were four big inspirations for this story, namely: Grey's Anatomy, Bojack Horseman, Glass by Gabriella Hunter (hence the name of the story), and a few of my own experiences. I appreciate it if you read, but I understand if you don't. The advisories and themes on this story should be taken seriously and as they will be explored, and as such, there will be warnings for each chapter should they be needed. Thank you!
(Also? That wonderful quote in the summary? That one's by Demetrius Harmon.)

A lot had happened in the last few days, and if Teddy was being completely honest, he had not paid an ounce of attention to things around him.
Warning: Descriptions of depression.
During the summer, Vega had made the occasional visit—or perhaps it was better to say that it was more like every other day?
