Hi! I’m a new writer giving this a proper go, and this is my first big Dramione project. I’ve always loved stories where enemies grow into something more, especially when wrapped in mystery, slow burn tension, and a bit of sarcastic banter. This fic is very much a passion project, and I’m learning as I go—so thank you in advance for your patience, kindness, and for reading! 💛Comments, kudos, and constructive feedback are more than welcome. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I do!
