Description

Seren's life was tragic. Living with nothing in a one-bedroom house that was falling apart, all while taking care of their ailing father. But Seren gets a chance to rise above it when they bump into Mr. Asche. He doesn't shy away from the rumors surrounding their father or their fae-touched nature, and offers to employ them as an enforcer, a collector who takes what's owed by force.

Things get complicated when Seren's new employer seems to be seeing ghosts, and their father reveals more about Miss Jass and the relationship between them. To survive this cold new lifestyle, Seren needs to freeze their heart to ice or be killed.

This is a good short story, currently complete, though a follow-up is suggested. It hits the feels deep though. ends sorta positive, but after a lot of emotion and drama/trauma leaving me a little depressed. The MC is a 13 tween pretending to be 16 and adult, trying to take care of a sick father, and is a coming-of-age story. The MC is nonbinary, which doesn't seem to change anything in the story, other than being one more way the MC is outside the norm of society. Is very clearly a they, not a he/she. I won't do any spoilers, but it was worth the read, even if i now have to find something else to read to finish the night on a positive note.
