Tadhg Lynch is fire and silence. With a brutal past and a father who taught him fear behind closed doors, Tadhg wears his trauma like armor - sharp, defensive, and unreadable. Nightmares chase him, trust eludes him, and peace is something he's convinced he'll never earn. He recognizes pain the way others recognize faces - fast, instinctively. Especially in her.

Ciara Bellemore is light dimmed too soon. Graceful and polite on the outside, she hides bruises beneath long sleeves and hope beneath whispered prayers. With a mother fading from illness and a home filled with silence and control, Ciara clings to the only comfort she knows: angels, feathers, and a belief in something better.

When they collide, it's friction and fire. She thinks he's arrogant and angry. He thinks she's fake and fragile. But pain recognizes pain - and slowly, behind the bickering and glares, a quiet understanding grows.

Tadhg Lynch He's the forgotten witness-the Joey Lynch doppelgänger who was too young to truly comprehend the gravity of Lynch's tragedy but too old to ever forget. He's the quintessential middle child, not too loud nor too quiet. He is stellar at school and sports, with aspirations not as ambitious as others but enough for him. Tadhg has everything he wants, being a Kavanagh means he doesn't live without. For the most part, Tadhg Lynch was perfect, bar his penchant for confrontation. Though, even then, it's mostly a result of him not taking people's shit. Regardless, Tadhg doesn't chase fights like an addict chasing their high, he bites when provoked not vice versa. That being said, that notion seemingly dissolves around Ballylaggin's resident Hellcat, one Olivia Kataria. Olivia Kataria Tommen's resident Hellcat is one of six scholarship recipients from the year. She's incredibly combative with an abhorrent school report by Tommen student standards-especially when that student has a full ride to one of the oldest and most prestigious institutions of academia in the Republic. Low attendance and an even lower patience for people who get on her bad side. So why is she still here? Her grades are beyond what most of these privileged rich kids could even dream of. They exceed expeditiously by Tommen's standards, yes, but they're also high enough for her to be predicted all A1S for her leaving certificate. A shoe-in for Trinity med and exactly what every immigrant parent could hope for. Right? When her claws come out, his teeth return barred and ready to bite back at whatever the wildcat hisses at him. They're competition, after all; they have been since they started school together in 2006. They are academic rivals at their finest, both incredibly talented, petulant, and competitive. The most equal toe-to-toe matchup set up in the mahogany-panelled hallways of Tommen College.

RECLAIMING 4 || TADHG LYNCH X LEAH DALY

55 parts Ongoing

IN WHICH: TADHG LYNCH X LEAH DALY Tadhg Lynch is a boy lost in borrowed belonging, drowning in sleepless nights, too-tight blazers, and the kind of silence that presses on your chest like a stone. He survives by vanishing, one grade, one breath, one heartbeat at a time. Leah Daly is a ghost in her own life, perfect on paper, hollow beneath. Grief built her a cage, and her father locked the door behind her when her mother died. They were never meant to meet, let alone matter to each other. But in the wreckage of everything they can't say, they find something like peace, sharp-edged, forbidden, and quietly life-saving.
