Her quirk is a harsh, grinding engine that kept her moving through the streets, protecting her even as it slowly wore her down. 𝐔.𝐀. offers a chance at a normal life, a life away from everything that pained her, a life where she could finally start to learn how to live. But normalcy for someone like her was a fragile illusion.... With every step she takes toward the light, the shadows behind her stretch a little longer; eyes begin to follow, fragments of a buried horror resurface, and the happiness she's building may become the very thing that paints a target on everyone's backs. She wanted to leave the darkness behind, But can she stop it before it takes the people she's only just begun to love? ⟡ ───────────────────────── ⟡ ﹙𝙎𝙊𝙈𝙀 𝘾𝙊𝙉𝙏𝙀𝙉𝙏𝙎﹚ ︴𝑨𝒈𝒆𝒅-𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝑺𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒌𝒊 (17) ︴𝑶𝒃𝒔𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝑺𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒌𝒊 ︴𝑶𝑷 𝒀/𝑵 - 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒔 ︴𝑺𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒏𝒈 ︴𝑮𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒕𝒚 𝑨𝒊𝒛𝒂𝒘𝒂 ︴𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒔𝒕 ✦ 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄 Originally published on Mon, Sep 15, 2025 Unpublished due to slight re-writing (starred chapters) Art used in cover made by @nxhqt on insta!
