City of Glass (Young Hearts AU)

(Young Hearts AU)

In a city where emotions manifest as fractures on the skin, Elias is known for his flawless, unbroken complexion - cold, controlled, untouchable. He's spent years locking every feeling behind an immaculate mask, terrified of cracking under the weight of what he can't admit to himself.

Then there's Alexander - reckless, radiant, and broken beyond repair. His skin is a map of every heartbreak he's ever felt, jagged lines crawling across his body like shattered glass. He's not uafraid of feeling too much; he's afraid of feeling nothing at all.

When their worlds collide, Elias's mask begins to slip, and Alexander's cracks start to heal - but the closer they get, the more dangerous it becomes. In a city that punishes vulnerability, their love is a risk neither of them can afford... because every time Elias lets himself feel, Alexander shatters a little more.

Together, they must decide if love is worth breaking completely.
