(Note: This story will not make much sense if you haven't already read The One He Protected (my previous GF AU fic. Keep in mind, ALL OF THIS IS AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE, it is not supposed to fully represent the canon.) TW: This story will contain various dark themes- Fire/Fire related trauma Torture (Mainly just implied, but there will be injury descriptions and some violence) Childhood trauma Some poor parenting Zace Rey Cipher thought of himself as a bad person. Well... not a bad person, there were much worse, of course. But not many good kids burned their mothers, yelled at their siblings, and ran off when things got tough. He was a bad person, and bad people didn't deserve to survive fires. But here he was. And he wanted to be a good person now.
