Matching wounds

Willow has learned to disappear.
Rowan has learned to make noise.

When they recognize each other across quiet rooms and crowded spaces, it isn't attraction that binds them first, but something older - a shared understanding of hurt, mirrored in opposite ways. Through missed steps, silences, and fragile attempts at closeness, they learn to stay without fixing, to listen without demanding, and to protect each other's wounds when the world presses too close.

Matching Wounds is a soft, melancholic story about two men who don't heal each other - but choose to live, gently, alongside the scars they recognize in one another.
