This story was written for those who have read my Queer as Folk story, Intersect. But if you haven't read it, or even watched Queer as Folk, that's okay. It can technically stand as an original story. This is a prequel focusing on Nathan Ash before he took on his new name and was still Victor Lukas Hall. The story will be two chapters total and highlights Nathan's life from 7th to 11th grade. This would go in the one-shots and outtakes series but, since it is more than one chapter, I figured it should stand on its own. Despite none of the Queer as Folk characters being in it, I do hope you enjoy it regardless and let me know what you think. The next and last chapter should be up in the next few days. The new chapter of Intersect should be as well. Trigger warnings for emotional, psychological, and physical abuse, as well as depression and self-harm.
