So, basically, Raven has this twin brother who's an idiot and got himself into some messed up shit, and at some point he had a court order to either go to rehab and get clean or go to jail for like 10 years, so he chose rehab, but he's a dick and he basically got back into shit as soon as he got out. Meanwhile, Avery has a speed addiction that she's trying to fight and she's checked herself into rehab, which, tada! is where they meet. And they go to the same school, so they kinda become friends, talk about stuff, and then Avery gets out and they start hanging together more, and then they get crushes, but by this time, Raven is nineteen and Avery is still sixteen, as opposed to the sociably acceptable 16 & 18, so they don't wanna get together because problems, but then it's been a year and they're kind of like, fuck it, and they keep it on the down-low at first, but then a few people call Raven a dyke and Avery just about loses it, and then all the rumours spread tot the point where honestly, it doesn't matter anymore if they kiss in the hallways or not. The night after Raven's graduation, their entire friend group does this magic spell-bonding thing so they won't get seperated, and it works, because they're twenty-one and twenty-three now, sharing an apartment with the rest of their found family, their real family, they're still together, and if Raven has a ringbox is her drawer, that's just waiting for an oppertunity, well, then that will make their happy ending solid one day, won't it?
A masked prince falls from the sky with no recollection of himself or his prior memories. Along his travels, he comes across a winged wanderer with a troubled and spotty history. While the two begin distant, they quickly come to the realization that they share more in common than they previously knew. The Prince teaches the archer the art of the blade, while the Wanderer assimilates the Prince into the surrounding world. The Wanderer keeps his history hidden behind a wall of parental trauma and distrust, while the pair slowly rediscovers all that the Prince had forgotten. With the Wanderers assistance, the Prince is able to address his scars, both physically and metaphorically, while the Wanderer attempts to keep himself distant from the masked prince. The Prince’s strange affinity for a connection leads them to a liege and squire-esque situation. As the two duel, spar, and train together, the masked Prince begins to learn more about his own past, where his physical and emotional scars came from, and who he truly is.
The two bond, albeit one more talkative than the other, soaring through the skies painted with gold. They spar, they dance, with the Wanderer slipping flowers into the unknowing Prince’s hair at any available moment. The Prince feels nothing for the Wanderer until one fateful night where the two are alone in a forest. After deep meditation, the prince recalls a night he spent alone in the woods, braving the wilderness unknown. When snapping back to reality, he finds deep comfort in the wanderer who convinces him his scars are nothing to be ashamed of. With a promise sealed by an unexpected kiss–though interpreted in two separate ways–, the two promise to face whatever comes next together, as partners.
