LIGHT OF DAY (MASHLE x READER)

How does a person even begin to change the world?

You were born into a noble household that values magical prowess above all else. Status, safety, even love, all of it measured by the marks on your skin and the proficiency of your spells. That was simply how the world worked.

Until one day, an unexpected magical accident changed everything.

You woke with the memories of another life. A life in a world where inequality still existed, but where the barriers between people weren't carved into their very flesh.

A world without magic.

You began to see the gaps in this magic society, and you decided to change it, by industrializing magic itself, to make its wonders accessible to all, to bridge the uneven everything of a world that had long since stopped questioning its own flaws.

But in doing so, you'd inadvertently cemented yourself into the hearts of many.

A boy who had been told his whole life that his worth was dictated by his magic,

A boy who had only ever known loneliness until you pulled him from the dark of his basement,

A boy whose devotion to his sister bordered on obsession,

A magicless boy hidden away in the woods,

A pair of identical twins, the younger raised to believe winning is the only thing that matters,

And a pair of siblings who had their first tastes of social inequality far too young...

They came to you one by one, each searching for something they couldn't name. And you, without even realizing it, became their answer.
