A Light Unafraid

In a world built on shadows and sacrifice, Light is a dangerous thing to carry.

Newly appointed as the Light Hashira, y/n arrives at the Hashira ranks with a smile too soft for war and a heart too open for a corps built on loss. She is bright where others are sharp, gentle where others are cruel, and wholly unafraid of the most difficult man among them.

Obanai Iguro does not trust easily. Bound by guilt, loyalty, and a devotion he believes cannot be questioned, he keeps his heart coiled tightly, like the serpent that never leaves his shoulders.

But light does not demand permission to exist.

As missions blur into quiet moments and unspoken glances linger too long, Obanai finds himself drawn toward something terrifyingly fragile: warmth. And y/n learns that even the darkest corners can soften, if approached with patience.

A slow-burn romance of longing looks, hesitant touches, and love learned in the in-between moments, Light Between Scales explores what happens when someone dares to love a man who believes he does not deserve it.
