A series of unfortunate events x male!OC

He was the Baudelaire you were never meant to know.

Before the fire, before Count Olaf, before everything unraveled - there was Dorian. Sharp-witted, devastatingly charming, and quietly exiled by the very family that claimed to love him, Dorian Baudelaire has always lived in the margins. At nineteen, he's too old for a guardian, too young to let go, and far too clever to believe tragedy happens by accident.

When the Baudelaire mansion goes up in flames, Dorian must but to protect what remains of his family: Violet, Klaus, and Sunny. But grief isn't the only thing waiting for them.

Their new guardian, the infamous Count Olaf, is hiding something behind his theatrics - a secret plan, a terrible obsession, and a fascination with the one Baudelaire he never expected.

Caught between duty and desire, danger and temptation, Dorian must decide just how far he's willing to go to save his siblings - and what it will cost him to survive.

Part reimagining. Part descent. All unfortunate.
