Inkbound Heart (Bendy reader x Ruby Rose)

When a starving mother and her infant son are cornered on the streets, fate twists in an unexpected way. Cinder Fall, in a rare moment of compassion, saves the dying woman and delivers her child to Salem herself.

Raised in the halls of darkness, Y/n is no ordinary boy-his blood runs like ink, and his gift is the power to summon and command Grimm made from shadow. To Salem, he is a weapon. To Cinder, a secret she guards closely.

But Y/n's lonely world changes the day he discovers a prisoner in Salem's fortress: Summer Rose, a Huntress long thought lost. Instead of fearing him, she shows him kindness, and through her, he forges a secret connection with her daughter, Ruby, sending gifts through portals of ink.

Ruby grows up treasuring these mysterious tokens, unaware of the boy who risks everything to reach her. And as Y/n watches from the shadows, he finds himself drawn to Ruby's light... even though he was raised to destroy it.

⚫🌹 A story of shadows and petals, love and betrayal, and the curse of immortality that only one heart may break.
