Sunny Summer Skies

Neuvillette thought death would grant him release from the torment of his failures. Instead, he awoke in the vibrant city of Fontaine, haunted by the memory of Aether - the lover he had betrayed and lost in a single, devastating night.

Aether's final words and the look of heartbreak in his golden eyes had carved a wound too deep to heal. Worse still, Neuvillette had been powerless to save him, watching in horror as a cruel twist of fate claimed Aether's life mere moments after their love fell apart.

But fate, it seems, was not finished with them.

Years later, Neuvillette sees him again - Aether, alive and untouched by the tragedy that shattered them. Yet, this Aether does not know him. The warmth in his golden eyes is not for Neuvillette but for a life unmarked by their shared pain.

Desperate for redemption, Neuvillette stays close, yearning to right the wrongs of their past without revealing the truth. But shadows linger, and the ghosts of a love lost still threaten to consume them both.

Can Neuvillette reclaim what he once destroyed, or is their reunion merely a cruel illusion, destined to end in heartbreak once more?

A story of love, loss, and the unbearable weight of second chances, Aether's Shadow asks: how far would you go to rewrite the past?
