Their mission was simple: investigate the village and report back to the DSO. No one warned Leon that the most dangerous thing during the mission wouldn't be the monsters; it would be the woman assigned to keep him alive. Forced to work together, their clashing beliefs begin to blur the line between what is right and what is necessary. Will they manage to put their differences aside? Will they see the good in each other? Or will their story end in nothing but ash and memories? ☂︎ ᴛʏᴘᴇ ᴏꜰ ꜱᴛᴏʀʏ: ⚚ Forced proximity ⚚ Age gap ⚚ Slow-burn ⚚ Enemies-to-lovers ⚚ Protector X Healer ⚚ Grumpy X Optimistic ⚚ Unwanted Attraction ⚚ Ideological Conflict ᴡᴀʀɴɪɴɢꜱ: ☢ This story contains offensive language and depictions of violence, sex, and other horror-themed elements. ☢ This story contains spoilers for Resident Evil 8 and Resident Evil 9. ᴅɪꜱᴄʟᴀɪᴍᴇʀ: ☢ I do not own any characters from the Resident Evil franchise - they rightfully belong to Capcom. ☢ Any original characters in this story, like Hope Ashcroft, are mine.
