Summary
He calls himself Eriks now.
She tells herself she's just a doctor.In the middle of nowhere, under the sun-blasted bones of a dying world, two people who have lost everything try to live small lives.
Meryl Stryfe hides behind routine, medicine, and a quiet town that doesn’t ask questions.
The man she shares a house with keeps his secrets tucked beneath worn clothes and a crooked smile.
But silence has weight. And eventually, it cracks.
This is a story about choosing to stay.
About forgiveness, the cost of surviving and love born not in grand gestures, but in the quiet in-betweens, that never says its name. Until it does.
Post-Stampede AU. Slow burn. Fragile hope, buried guilt, soft hands.
