The fic will not have Yaoi or any NTR, if I do ramance sex scenes would only be implied since I don’t want to loose focus on the actual plot like the many horny writers out there do. For that same reason there will not be any harem since writers who write harem fics tend to focus more on harem building than they do on the actual plot or growth of non female side characters. ____ last note: This isn’t my first attempt at writing a fanfiction but the first fanfiction I have decided to try and commit to. I can’t make any promises on quality but rest assured the only reason I haven’t wrote before is because I care about the quality. most of my issues with writing stem from overthinking something or trying to follow too close to cannon. my goal for the story is break both of those habits. try not to flame me too much in the comments.

Kael Valen’s life had always been defined by his ego, but everything changed the moment he met Serena Winters—a woman whose strength came not from a sense of superiority but from the scars of her past. She had learned to protect herself through hardship, a survivor of battles fought in silence, with a singular focus on achieving her dreams. They were worlds apart. His ambitions consumed him, and he rarely considered the feelings of others; she was a strong-minded woman who valued resilience over pride and self-reliance over dependence. Their lifestyles, ways of communicating, and understanding of love were at odds. He saw love as something to possess and control, while she saw it as a partnership, an exchange of mutual respect and growth. Could they bridge this gap, or would their differences be too great to overcome? Would their love evolve into something that transcends their pasts, or would it fall apart, a casualty of their contrasting views on life and love? Ultimately, their fates were uncertain, but one thing was clear: love, if ever meant to be, would demand transformation from both. Whether they ended up together or apart, they would never be the same again.
