Shared Sanctuary - Hudson Williams fanfic

One floor. Two strangers.
And the silence in between.

As a social worker, Elara is an expert at reading other people's bruises. Her apartment is her only refuge.

A place where she can finally stop caretaking and just exist with her dying plants and her solitude.

Then Hudson moves in. He's the face of an industry built on illusions, trying to survive the very fame he dreamed of.

They were supposed to stay on their own sides of the plaster. But in their shared hallway, they find something more dangerous than comfort: recognition.

Hudson is the only one who sees Elara's dark side-and the only one whose own mask is just as fragile as hers.

To find the truth, they might have to destroy the versions of themselves the world loves most.
