17 parts Complete Ash never quite fit the mold. Boyflux and still figuring out who he is, he's stuck in a school where secrets crack louder than lockers slamming and labels stick harder than truth. Misunderstood by classmates and unseen at home, Ash hides his thoughts in pencil marks and sketchbooks full of wings, fire, and someone he doesn't dare admit he's falling for.
Ren is the chaos Ash didn't expect. Confident. Sharp. Always standing a little too close. With a smirk that sees too much and eyes that dare Ash to be bold, Ren breaks through the walls Ash built-sometimes gently, sometimes like lightning.
But when someone in class finds Ash's private sketchbook and turns it into cruel entertainment, everything changes. Tension erupts, secrets surface, and Ash is forced to confront not only his feelings for Ren, but also the truth about who he is, what he wants-and whether he's ready to fight for it.
A story of identity, queerness, self-expression, and raw connection, Ashes in Between blends emotional depth with dark-academia vibes, quiet art with loud hearts, and a soft-burning romance that refuses to stay hidden.
