Steel for Her Name (Levi Ackermann X OC)

When the world chews you up, it rarely spits you out whole.

Neya has learned to keep her voice buried and her secrets closer than her pulse. Levi has mastered the art of silence, carving discipline into his bones so nothing breaks through. They shouldn't cross paths, shouldn't understand each other, shouldn't feel the pull of something that tastes like recognition. Yet fate has a way of dragging fractured people toward the same storm.

In a city trembling beneath the weight of old sins and unspoken promises, two guarded souls find themselves circling the same darkness. What begins as wary distance shifts, inch by inch, into something neither of them planned for. And when the past claws back with teeth sharp enough to draw blood, their choices may damn them or save them.

Some connections aren't gentle.
Some stories aren't kind.
And some people are worth burning the world for.
