    Summary

    Bangkok, 1969. Trin does what is expected. He's a dutiful son, rising economist, and preserver of his family's status quo. Thanwa is everything he is not—fiery, defiant, a musician with subversion in his song and revolt in his blood. When their paths cross again after a summer in Paris that neither of them has forgotten, feelings bloom in the shadows of protests, student activism, and social unrest.

    In a country on the brink of transformation, they must choose between the safety of silence and something truly revolutionary called love.

    This story was written before the release of Shine and therefore is not intended to be canon compliant. Read as an AU.
