Crossing the Line

[Beautiful, pitiful widow x upright, kindhearted famous detective]

Content warning: Based on a scene imagined by Ran, in which Shinichi gets involved with a newly widowed woman.

OOC is a given, so is the descent into darkness, and so is the scheming.

After Kudo Shinichi takes down the Black Organization, his life returns to its usual peaceful routine. Then a sudden case changes everything once again.

The woman has lost her husband. She seems fragile, devoted, and pitiful, as if she couldn't survive without him. Yet she is the person he suspects.

But this suspect is like a quagmire of desire. The deeper he investigates, the deeper he sinks, until he can no longer pull himself free.

A pure-love/dark romance where sincerity is mixed with deceit, and deceit is mixed with sincerity.
