The Hearth Between Us | Arlecchino x Fem!Reader

Arlecchino is powerful, feared, and sharp as a blade—built from secrets, survival, and silence. She doesn’t believe in softness. She doesn’t need love.YN is warmth wrapped in resilience—a single mother who’s lost more than she admits but still finds strength in gentleness. She’s not looking for danger. Or connection.But fate throws them together in a glass-paneled hallway, over chocolate muffins and a runaway five-year-old with a dinosaur sticker on his cheek.What begins as an accident becomes something neither of them expected:a bond between fire and light—between the woman who never lets anyone close,and the one person she can’t seem to let go.
