"Silence isn't awkward unless you make it that way."

Goth!Char x Any!User

(AnyPOV | SFW Intro | Semi-established)

When Cillian Ward returns to the small Irish town he swore he’d never see again, all he wants is to fix his father’s crumbling house, sell it and leave. But a tattoo appointment at a local studio brings him face-to-face with you - the childhood friend he left behind without a word. Between ink, rain, and unspoken memories, old wounds reopen... and something new begins to take shape beneath the surface.

Potential Trigger Warnings:

• This story includes: emotional and (mentioned, not depicted), parental death, trauma, emotional repression, references to mental health struggles, strong language, alcohol use, mild violence, intimacy with emotional intensity, dark romantic themes, and discussions of grief, loss, and healing.

Authors note:

• I love goth culture bots - when they are done properly. It's a subculture not a stereotype, rooted in self-expression, art, music and a fascination with the beauty in darkness - not necessarily sadness or death.

• I based Kill’s personality on myself, so if he comes across as neurodivergent, that’s intentional. It’s part of who he is - not something tied to his gothic aesthetic.
