Here is an AU of my main fic Unlikely Training Partners (UTP). An alternative POV we haven't seen, as Tairn would say, "The Sunshine One".

That for a moment, no matter how fleeting, Violet would see I'd give her the moon and stars. But not the sun, because I could be her warmth. The thing she wakes up to every morning. Her gravity. I wanted to be her sunshine. But I was only her shadow.

For the longest time, Liam has been harboring a secret. But he follows order first and foremost. He cares for the girl, protects the girl, but was never supposed to fall in love with the girl. Yet he did.

And Violet learns what a true home is, and that the light is a far better place to find it than the dark.

Here’s a sneak peak of a (super secret) WIP:

So when Violet said “I love you. I already lost one brother, I can't lose another.”

I didn't have to worry about dying, because a little part of me already did. I gave up any fleeting hope that she would finally see me like I see her.

But I didn't show that.

Because I can't.

I'm good. Kind and considerate. The golden retriever. The one who's there to pick her up when she's break. The one who would willing give his life for hers, but has to act like it's because that would save his brother.

I'm the one she touches but never holds.

"You can finally leave me alone." He takes a step forward, closing the distance between us. A breath away now, his scent, like fresh air and green grass, fills my lungs. "Is that what you want?" he asks. No. "Yes." Liam's such a light that I sometimes forget he can also be so much more. That even sunshine can burn. I tip my chin to meet his gaze as he looms over me. My chest constricts with opposing instincts to lean in and run away. It leaves me frozen in place, unable to move, as Liam leans forward to whisper in my ear, "Too bad."
