You graduated UA a failure. Three years on, your hero licence is hanging by a thread, your flames are more liability than power, and the guilt of destroying a child's Quirk has kept you chained tighter than any villain ever could. Then Katsuki Bakugo walks into your diner. And something in your fire recognises something in his. You don't want it. You don't understand it. Your Quirk has never cared what you want. Neither has he. The bond between your flames and his nitroglycerin runs deeper than either of you are willing to admit. A chemical pull that makes your fire burn gold in his presence and his hands smoke when you're not in the room. It should be impossible. It's also the only thing that's made your Quirk feel like a gift instead of a sentence. You've spent years learning to burn small. Controlled. Safe. Katsuki Bakugo has never done anything small in his life.

Dawn is one of the top students at Piltover Academy. And that, until now, had been enough. But her world changes when she receives an offer that no one in her position could refuse: to become an assistant to Viktor and Jayce, the hextech prodigies and protégés of Professor Heimerdinger. For Dawn, it's more than an academic promotion. It's a chance to prove that someone of her background can achieve a position of real importance in Piltover. However, she soon discovers that this dream comes with secrets, rivalries, dangerous decisions... and an unexpected conflict that arises precisely from one of the men to whom she now answers.
