Ashes to Ashes (Kaidan/OC Ashes of His Past)

Miriam and Kaidan have been through hell, toiled for so long just to get a bit of peace. From retrieving a treasured claw to destroying the World-Eater, Kaidan hasn't left Miriam's side. Through the rise of the First Dragonborn to the fouling of Hermaeus Mora's plot, Kaidan has remained true. Even the darkness of the Volkihar threat and excavation of Miriam's heritage with the Snow Elves wasn't enough to break them. It seemed nothing was.

But when Kaidan's past catches up with him... that just might change. His love for the Dragonborn burns just a little too brightly as it fights the flames of his past. In the end, we can't protect what we love the most-- especially not from ourselves.

From the whitest soul to the blackest heart, everything they love will burn.

I can't manage to write the entire fanfic for Miri and Kai, but I'm in the mood for some angst. Enjoy.
