   Summary

   A lowly rat-catcher, desperate to join the Royal Guard, rescues the very Captain who rejected him. In a world where magic is born of passion and colour is a defiance against a consuming grey, an uneasy bargain leads to training, terror, and a fire unlocked only by love. [Fantasy AU for The Pitt.]
