Make Them Gold

River thinks he's broken.

As if being born in the wrong body wasn't enough, River has been told most of his life that who he loves is wrong too. He isn't sure how his sister can love him as much as she claims she does after all those sleepless nights he's given her. He's a walking disaster; a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.

Maya is lonely.

She's used to being disliked for how she is or judged for things that are out of her control. She actively keeps people at a distance and represses parts of her past for the sake of protecting her future, as well as River's. Despite the walls, she yearns for acceptance and love.
In the face of adulthood, the winds of fate will peel back the layers of trauma. Are their souls golden enough to guide them back to each other through the murky waters?
