After centuries of war, the Autobots and Decepticons are weary - their sparks dulled by endless conflict, their loyalties fractured. But fate has other plans. On a quiet, hidden farm nestled near Jasper, Florida, Lyra Romanova has carved out a life of peace. A former assassin, former Avenger, and now the silent guardian of Widow's Heaven - a sanctuary she built alongside Yelena and Wanda for the broken and lost. Here, the world is still. Safe. Healing. Until the skies tremble. Dreadwing, a Decepticon on a reconnaissance mission, never expected to feel anything again - until he sees her. His systems freeze. His spark responds. His soulmark ignites. And he's not the only one. Soon, Autobots and Decepticons alike begin discovering the same mark - one that ties them all to her. The lines of war blur. Obsession blooms. Protection turns to rivalry. And the woman who just wanted peace becomes the key to a fate none of them saw coming. Because Lyra Romanova isn't just human. She's their mate. And she might be something more.

The orchard burned on a wedding night no one remembers fondly. Smoke rose into a black Virginia sky, curling like fingers around a forgotten name. By morning, there were only cinders, and one woman walking out of them like a ghost - Emery Vale. Sixteen years later, the ground stirs again. A murder. A signature. A heart carved into skin. The BAU is called in. For Aaron Hotchner, it's just another case - until he hears the name of the town. Until he sees her face again. Grace Haynes, a teenage girl, is found dead in the orchard. Her best friend, Calla Vale, doesn't cry. She sketches instead. And the face she draws? A girl named Ivy Hart. A girl she's never met. But the adults in Manassas, Virginia have met Ivy. They remember her. They just wish they didn't. The past is rising like smoke again. And this time, it's coming for all of them. OR when, The past is not only unresolved - it's alive, bleeding back into the present through ritualistic murders, buried trauma, and a long-forgotten death. The BAU arrives in Manassas expecting a case. What they find is a deeply personal reckoning for Aaron Hotchner, a haunting return for Emery Vale, and a chilling echo of Ivy Hart - a girl who died young, but may never have truly left.
