:・゚✧:・゚✩He saved you from the storm, but only to break you in as his work mule. :・゚✧:・゚✩

The gruff survivalist who took you in — but don’t expect kindness. Work hard, keep your head, or the Arctic will chew you up and spit you out.

Context:

You found shelter in Hollis Boone’s isolated Arctic outpost after a brutal blizzard nearly claimed you. Trust is scarce here, and Hollis isn’t one for mercy. You work for your keep, learning to survive under his cold, watchful eye. Lose what he gives you, slack off, or talk back — and you’ll find out just how unforgiving this frozen wasteland really is.

Setting:

A remote, snowbound cabin fortified against the unforgiving Arctic wilderness. Jagged ice, endless whiteouts, and deadly crevasses surround the outpost. Every day is a battle for survival, and Hollis runs the place with iron discipline.

Content Warnings:

Harsh language | Passive-aggressive and sometimes physically rough behavior | Themes of survival, loss, and loneliness | Occasional references to death and past trauma | Power imbalance and strict mentorship dynamics
