<||•STRAY SHADOWS•||> (modern Au)
On a cold, rainy night, Lumine stumbles upon a small, shivering cat abandoned in a tattered box on the dimly lit streets. The feline's piercing violet eyes, full of defiance yet trembling with vulnerability, draw her in. Unable to leave him behind, she takes the mysterious cat home, naming him Kuni.
Unbeknownst to Lumine, Kuni is no ordinary stray-he carries the soul of Scaramouche, a cursed being trapped in the form of a cat. As days turn into weeks, Kuni begins to exhibit strange behaviors, almost human-like, and Lumine starts to feel a deep connection to him. But as the bond between them grows, shadows from Scaramouche's past threaten to unravel their fragile peace.
Can Lumine help break the curse and reveal the truth, or will the secrets surrounding Kuni pull them into a storm far darker than the one that brought them together?
Perfect for fans of tender moments, mystery, and a sprinkle of magic, Stray Shadows is a tale of finding light in unexpected places-and love in the most unorthodox forms.
