  Summary

  [REWRITE OF THE FIC: All Work And No Play Makes Jack A Dull Boy]
  Three Hundred years of suffering, manipulation, and a loosing battle for his own sanity. Jack Frost isn't the same spirit he was that fateful night on the lake so long ago, and most other spirits think him too crazy to approach. Who is he, now, feeling broken beyond recognition? Shadows loom at the boy's back even as he stares forward, visibly shaken every step of the way.

  Sometimes you have to fight your demons to get them to leave you the hell alone.

   

  [Possibly going to be adding art to each chapter over time, if I can figure out how exactly to do it lol]
