Description:

Once, green meant life, growth, blessing. Now, only red remains… staining snowfields with the memory of what the world used to be.

Born into that red is Izuku Midoriya, a rare Prime Omega raised in an empire that turns people into weapons. Gentle in a brutal world, he was never meant to survive it, let alone defy it. But when he escapes through a political marriage during winter to the freest kingdom, Jadever, he collides with something just as dangerous as war:

Katsuki Bakugou, an Enigma, known as the Untouchable King, forged in battle, chosen by wolves, and feared by all, loved by his people, eyes as red as the blood Izuku walked through in the name of Hope.

Their bond is not ordinary. It is ancient. Unstable. Powerful enough to strike fear in mortal hearts.

But Izuku carries a command that could destroy everything: Kill Katsuki… or suffer punishment under the cruel hand of his father. As war closes in and monsters rise from the ashes of red, Izuku must choose between the life he was born into and the one calling him forward. Between duty and desire. Between destruction… and the fragile return of green.

Because in a world drowning in blood, choosing life is the most dangerous act of all.

Notes:

The Ballads of Winter is a song carved into ice and blood, where every verse is a choice between who you were born to be… and who you dare to become, and how destiny can distrupt the stability of the world itself, and how defying it can reshape the world itself.
