    Summary

    a direct follow up to 'I'm sure I used to be (so free)', picking up after Stiles decided to leave.

    ***

    "He can’t go back. He can’t be Stiles Stilinski anymore. There’s blood on his hands and a war in his heart, and he can’t go back to that life, no matter how much he misses the people he cares about with a harsh, aching ferocity.

    So he keeps moving instead, with no real destination in sight. He’ll keep trying to outrun everything that happened, everything he did, until he can’t run anymore."

    ***

    Not as dark or angst-filled as the tags imply, but please check the warnings at the beginning of each chapter.
