Summary
The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.
“I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”
With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.
This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.
“Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”
- or -
Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.

This masterpiece has been praised to hell and back, and there’s nothing I can say that hasn’t already been said!
Midnight Strangers is single-handled what got me back into writing fanfic after I quit three years ago, and I couldn’t be more thankful to the author and amazing team behind making this work possible 🫶🫶🫶
Just read it, I can assure you, you’ll enjoy!
