Since it's been a year or so since I published my last WhitRuv book, so I made another one! This AU takes place just before Ruv reunites with Sarvente. Cover image is mine and ClxreNotFound's, btw. [TW: PTSD, depression, dark pasts] Ruv, a runaway Russian criminal, unexpectedly meets Whitty, a living bomb. Both are fighting to survive as who they are. The bomb decides to let the Russian stay with him and they eventually find a place to stay. But, the person running the place was revealed to be the devil herself later on. The trio have their occasional moments of tragedy, but they don't give up. Even after the beloved church is burned down.
