Finding Strength in the Shadows (Vinnie Panesar x Male OC)

Elliot Mitchell thought he'd escaped. After years of enduring the suffocating grip of an abusive relationship, he arrives in Walford seeking refuge, a fresh start, and a chance to rebuild his life. Moving into the chaotic Mitchell household and working at Peggy's nightclub, Elliot tries to carve out a new identity amidst the noise and drama of Albert Square.

But the shadows of his past aren't done with him. Cryptic messages, chilling encounters, and a growing sense of being watched reveal a horrifying truth-his ex has found him. As the lines between paranoia and reality blur, Elliot must navigate the mounting danger while forging new relationships that could either save him or put him in more peril.

Caught between Phil Mitchell's rough protection, Vinnie Panesar's quiet kindness, and the dark secrets lurking in Walford, Elliot finds himself thrust into a web of fear, manipulation, and unlikely alliances. With his past closing in and danger mounting, can Elliot find the strength to stand his ground and reclaim his future-or will the shadows consume him completely?
