[SOON.]

In a city of salt and of cold city law, Lived a very stiff Prince with a "No-Christmas" flaw. With a clipboard for armor and a heart made of ice, He thought being lonely was "safe, sound, and nice". "No tinsel! No glitter! No joy!" he would declare, Until he encountered a scruffy-haired Bear. With a lantern of gold and a "whimsical" plan, The Bear sought to melt the most frozen of men. Through blizzards and beauty, through fear and through light, They built a new world in the dark of the night. A story of healing, of finding your way, To the warmth of a heart that is willing to stay. So come for the cocoa, but stay for the thaw, In the best winter story that you ever saw!

In the sun-drenched kingdom of Astraea, where prophecy was etched deeper than law and fear was worn like armor, a cruel decree shadowed every silver-marked wrist. For centuries, the Astraean Oracle Council whispered of a doom woven by destiny itself: that the realm would fall by the hand of a knight's fated lover. This dread birthed a singular, terrible vow within the hallowed Order of Solaris --- to sever the soulmate bond with steel before it could blossom into betrayal. Kim Taehyung, the youngest High Knight, carried this oath like a second heartbeat, his soul a fortress of disciplined ice. Across the three pillar cities, in the gentle sanctuary of Serenehaven, the healer Kim Seokjin moved with a grace which spoke of hidden lineage and quiet strength, his hands meant only for mending, never for violence. He believed love was a choice, not a curse. Yet destiny, the relentless weaver, had already threaded their lives together with strands of shimmering starlight. On the night the first wraithwolf howled, a twin star sigil bloomed upon their skins --- a beautiful, damning mark that promised either the kingdom's end, or the beginning of a revolution born from the most forbidden love.
