Mikan Yelena Romanova never expected Sirius Orion Black to show up on her doorstep in the middle of a storm-drenched, shaking, and looking far more like a frightened boy than the reckless Gryffindor everyone thinks they know.
She's always orbitated the edges of Sirius's chaotic world: the trouble, the bravado, the sharp grin he throws like a weapon. But when he appears at her home bruised, exhausted, and breaking apart beneath the weight of a family he can no longer endure, Mikan becomes the only safe place he can think to run to.
Sirius is spiraling-caught between rage he doesn't understand, a home that is poisoning him, and the fear that he's turning into the very man he hates. And Mikan, despite not knowing why he chose her, can't bring herself to push him away.
What begins as one stormy night of vulnerability slowly unravels everything they thought they knew about each other. Sirius finds solace where he least expected it, and Mikan discovers that the boy who bursts into her life in thunder and tears might be the one person she can't let go of.
But falling for Sirius Black comes with a price-dark secrets, dangerous magic, and a war simmering beneath the surface. As the storms outside grow stronger, so do the ones inside him... and inside her.
And not every storm can be survived unscathed.
