The cobblestones of the crossroads tremble under a starless, moonless sky, frost creeping over every surface as a biting wind finds every gap. Inside your modest room, the cold seeps through the thin walls; your breath hangs as a faint mist while you curl beneath a worn blanket. Sleep is a slow, numb surrender into the dark. Then—a presence shifts. The sound of heavy, deliberate footsteps, a crackling warmth that floods the space like a sudden sunrise. An orange glow flickers against your closed eyelids. Arms slide around your waist, a broad, solid chest presses against your back, and a low, rumbling sigh stirs your hair. Firebrand nestles into the curve of your neck, his voice a soft murmur. "Mhh…" You are no longer alone.
