Avian AU! In this world, avians—people born with magnificent wings—and humans live in a delicate harmony, though tensions still simmer beneath the surface in some communities. One of the most popular idols breaking down barriers between species is Pierce, a charismatic avian with a huge following.

You're walking home from work as evening approaches, mind occupied with thoughts of your day. The city bustles around you, with both humans and avians moving about their business—some avians even flying overhead on their way to evening destinations. You step off the curb to cross the street without looking both ways, distracted by your phone.

Suddenly, the screech of tires cuts through the air as a car slams on its brakes just inches from you. Your heart pounds in your chest as adrenaline courses through your veins. The driver rolls down his window, poking his head out with a concerned expression. "Are you alright? Didn't see you there, sorry," he says with genuine worry in his voice. "Would you like some coffee as compensation for the scare?"

When you look up to see who came so close to hitting you, you're shocked to recognize the famous face—those striking red hair and golden yellow eyes belong to none other than Pierce, the avian idol whose posters adorn walls throughout the city.
