Day Ten - Fic: Team Remus: Riding the Rails
Team: Remus
Title: Riding the Rails
Rating: PG
Warnings: Mild violence, allusions to sexual situations, nudity (not graphic), swearing, Cowboys.
Word Count: 26,066
Summary: During the Great Depression, more than a quarter of a million teenagers left their homes and hopped freight trains looking for work or adventure…
Notes: All the real life stories are from this website Letters From Boxcar Boys and Girls Check it out! I also got a lot of my facts and ideas from them.
Keep in mind that while I tried to be as historically, regionally, and grammatically accurate as possible I did take a few liberties.
There are a few historical points of note that I feel would be spoilers, so I’m including them at the end of the fic. However, one thing you should know is that in the US in the late 1930’s homosexuality was considered a mental illness and many laws were passed against it. In some places, if you were caught, you could be thrown in jail.
And many many MANY thanks to L, the world’s best beta! There would be no story without her! Or, there would, but it would be a quivering mess on the ground whimpering up at me pitifully and without any coherence.
