Breathing fire sounds like a neat party trick, right? It is! It's also only a small part of what Aiden can do as a pyroweaver. Fanning the flames comes naturally to him, but every weaver's ability comes with a pitfall. For Aiden, it means he's constantly overheating. Snowing outside? He's in a t-shirt. Hot-as-balls out? He may literally burst into flames. It's kind of an issue. Just as he's beginning to smother under his own ashes he's introduced to his co-worker and new college housemate, Kal. As a hydroweaver with an affinity for ice, Kal can create ice sculptures with a flick of his wrist. Sounds awesome, right? It is! His pitfall? He's constantly freezing! One keeps his distance in fear of burning someone, the other likes getting close in search of some warmth. Could Kal's refreshing touch be the perfect opposite that Aiden needs? ⚠️ Content/Trigger Warnings: -Includes swearing and explicit sexual themes intended for those 18+ -Includes themes relating to mental health, bullying, death, and grieving -Warnings will be displayed at the top of specifically prevalent chapters; most of the book is more 16+ish ⋯⋯ ☼ ☽ ☼ ⋯⋯ 🏆 First Place winner in the Young/New Adult category for The April Awards 🏆 First Place winner in the Romance category for The Glitter Awards 🏆Third Place winner in the Romance/New Adult category for The Seasonal Awards 🏆Honorable Mention in the Romance category for The Lavender Awards #1- bxb 9/1/22 #2- housemates 10/22/21 #4- gay 3/14/22 #4- mxm 3/14/22 #8- oppositesattract 10/22/21 #44- freethelgbt 3/14/22
