A story of clarity, control-and the kind of love that shatters both.
In the aftermath of war and the ashes of lost love, Scott Summers stands as a leader haunted by memory and duty. Still bound to the legacy of Jean Grey, Scott hides behind discipline, strategy, and the red haze of his visor-until someone unexpected sees through the cracks.
Emma Frost is no stranger to pain or power. With a mind that never sleeps and walls made of diamond, she's learned that vulnerability is a luxury she can't afford. But when she reaches into Scott's fractured psyche, she finds something she never expected: a man desperate to be seen, and a connection that burns hotter than anything she's known.
As they navigate a fragile peace, dangerous alliances, and the ghosts of their pasts, Scott and Emma forge a bond built on trust, tension, and the unrelenting pull of two broken people daring to heal together. But nothing in the mutant world stays still for long-and love, no matter how pure, always comes at a price.
Canon-rooted. Emotionally charged. Intensely intimate.
The Optic Nerve is a story about what happens when clarity meets chaos-when a leader finds his heart, and an ice queen learns to melt.
