"If you love someone, let them go." A motto Four had always despised. After being abandoned twenty years ago to be subjected to the mercy of people who didn't care for them, they'd learned that that motto was a lie, a sham, a way to get them to shut up and endure. They'd bottled up everything from their past, but as a new neighbor rolls in from out of town, Four's scars might once be opened again.

This is a story I've written mostly for myself on Google Docs, but I have decided to publish it. It's unfinished so far, and is a 4X-centric XFHOV Au (yes yes a 2nd one and only 6 chapters into my other Au) anyway yeah TW: possible blood/gore, mentions of demons and soul summoning, death, 4x, 4 and 2 being siblings, just a drop of lime (aka kisses and getting pinned down but that's IT I SWEAR), Six X Nine bc yes, and POSSIBLE One X Two, Nine mostly using female pronouns (i can't write frying pan genders they are so hard okay??), more death bc it's also a demon-centric au (what do u expect some people gotta die), and POSSIBLE gore but idk yet Desc: X has been living their life, carrying the heavy guilt of their closest friend's death on their back for years. But when they finally find a way to bring Four back, he's not exactly the same...
