The Archival Courier: Stitching High Society's Ruin
By @john1208
Tarnis Rohe hauls heavy garment bags as a low-level courier for the Ostran-Varo Textile Archive, enduring the daily mockery of the city’s hyper-pretentious fashion elites. They have no idea this dusty delivery boy is actually The Monolith - the legendary, anonymous designer whose bespoke structural garments dictate global social hierarchies. Traumatized by a corporate betrayal that left him with severe sensory-overload and achromatopsia, Tarnis finds solace in the quiet, failing vintage boutique of Savia Greskova. Savia is the illegitimate heiress of the Greskova Conglomerate, exiled to manage obsolete inventory while her arrogant half-brother flaunts stolen designs. When the elites sabotage Savia’s crucial exhibition, Tarnis steps out of the shadows. He begins secretly reconstructing her garments using his mythic tension-weaving techniques. As Savia's boutique suddenly produces masterpieces that terrify the industry's grandmasters, the Greskova patriarch and his sycophants try to crush them - only to realize the courier they spat on holds the authentic patents to every luxury brand they own. Will Tarnis reveal his identity to destroy her family, or will his traumatic past unravel him first?
