Scar is a cop working tirelessly on a perplexing case. Everywhere he goes, he finds two peculiar clues: eggs and white feathers. No matter the crime-bank robberies, murders, or high-profile thefts-the same eerie pattern emerges. The eggs are pristine, and the feathers are fresh, as if whoever left them always arrived just before the police. It's maddening for Scar, an unyielding reminder that the culprit is always one step ahead, taunting him with their mysterious calling card. Art is not mine

Scar, a prince more at home with a bow and sketchbook than the weight of a crown, leads a life bound by royal expectations. Grian, a half-avian hybrid, survives alone by stealing what he can, navigating a kingdom that fears his wings. When Grian's desperate break-in to the royal palace leads to an unexpected mercy, the two forge an unlikely connection. Through forbidden visits and quiet moments in the shadows, Scar and Grian's friendship blossoms into something deeper---a love neither of them can afford to risk. But with a kingdom built on fear and control, their bond might be the one thing that can set them free---or destroy them both. 📸 by @applestruda on Tumblr • TW: Strong Language, • Total Word Count: --- (Without A/Ns)
