Opossum-(mxm) (Rever series Eight)
Ian, a struggling young man, finds solace and purpose in the online world of 'Infinity' as the top-ranked 'chain-wielder,' Renegade. His devotion to the game is only surpassed by his quiet adoration for Grim, a popular streamer whose gruff demeanor hides a surprising depth. When Grim's generosity and unexpected concern pull Ian from the brink of destitution into his orbit, the lines between their virtual connection and real-life intimacy begin to blur. Can Ian navigate the harsh realities of his past and present to embrace a future he never dared to dream of, one where his 'Opossum' heart finally finds a home?
Leaning back in his squeaky old gaming chair, Ian let out a long sigh, closing his eyes. Finally, number one in the entire game. His eyes slowly opened, staring at his cute cat boy character, Renegade, standing in the bustling main city of Infinity, surrounded by congratulatory messages.
He had his away-from-keyboard symbol on; there was only one person he wanted to be congratulated by. Grim was late. He was usually on by six, and it was already close to seven.
A little notification sound met his ears, and a smile immediately slid onto his lips. Leaning forward, Ian tapped his mouse, accepting Grim's personal chat request.
