   Summary

   No game Alpha Dave centric fic. 99% of this is a recurring dream. I'm plagued with it. Maybe more aptly described as a recurring nightmare. Basically, I needed it out of my head.

   New chapters everytime I sleep.

   David Marie Strider also known as Icarus, born December 3rd, 1993 struggles with things he never confronted in his childhood. Now with a kid that was left on his stoop, living with his Bro, and juggling his career as a director, he's trying to stay alive despite everything telling him not to. Sort of a slice of life but with all the hurt and barely any comfort. The punches just keep coming, and he's trying to stay afloat.
