teacher x student | wlw | slow burn | psychological | mystery
Tara Black has never truly fit anywhere - not in her family, not among the outcasts of Nevermore. Haunted by shadows she can't quite name and a hunger that grows stronger with every full moon, she hides her pain behind sharp smiles and silence, fighting battles no one seems to notice.
But everything changes when she arrives.
Isadora Capri - the academy's new head of music. Brilliant, composed, and far too perceptive for Tara's comfort. Beneath her calm surface lies something wild, something that mirrors the chaos inside Tara more than either of them dares to admit.
What begins as mentorship soon twists into something neither of them can control - a connection that burns too bright, too dangerous. As desire collides with fear, secrets unravel, and the line between right and wrong begins to blur.
And when a series of crimes shakes Nevermore to its core, Tara finds herself pulled into a web of suspicion and danger - hunted not only by what lurks in the dark, but by the wildness within her own skin.
Because at Nevermore, nothing stays hidden for long.
Not the truth behind Tara's scars.
Not the beast beneath her surface.
And not the love that could destroy them both.

A/N:
This story is based in the Wednesday universe and takes place during Season two - though in this version, the events of Season Two are only loosely followed.
All original Wednesday characters belong to their respective creators; only my original characters and storyline are my own.
This story explores darker emotional themes - please check the trigger warnings listed in the information section before reading.
And lastly, I want to be clear that I do not support or romanticize teacher/student relationships in real life.
This is a purely fictional story meant to explore character growth, emotion, and the blurred lines between protection and desire in a fantasy setting.
