Hey -
If you're here, thank you. Genuinely.

Controlled Burns is the story I needed to write.

It's about two people who are very good at managing everything -
their empires, their emotions, their carefully constructed distance from anything that could reach them.

Then they meet each other.

What follows is slow. Intentional. A little painful in the best way.

There are no misunderstandings that a single conversation would fix.
No manufactured drama.

Just two people who are trying very hard not to feel something they've been feeling for longer than either of them will admit.

Nova is one of my favourite people I've ever written. I hope she becomes one of yours.

Adrian - well. You'll see.

A few things to know:
- This is a slow burn. The payoff is earned.
- Mature content in later chapters.
- Updates every Monday & Thursday.

I read every comment. Every vote matters more than you know.

Let's go.
