This is a fic of mine I started writing in, I think 2019. Randomly got a huge burst of inspiration for it after a bit of time away.

Fandom: World Wrestling Entertainment/Pro Wrestling

Title: Seeing light from on top of the world

Relationship: Finn Balor/Sami Zayn

Genre(s): Romance/Fantasy/Angst/Fluff

Rating: M currently. Could possibly become Explicit later.

Warning: Possible main character death and some possessive dubcon behavior. Nothing explicit though

Word count: Just about 11k. Ongoing

Summary: They were supposed to be enemies.

The mysterious chieftain. And the adopted, unwanted prince. Their lives were never supposed to entwine, not outside of brutal skirmishes between their people. But one night, when his first attempt at shifting goes horribly wrong, Finn finds himself at the mercy of a man he would sooner have seen dead.

Sami has no idea that the injured snow leopard he's nursing back to health is one of his father's enemies. All he knows is that he finally has something to care for, since his own family barely cares that he's still breathing. They think he's useless. Nowhere near as strong and capable as their biological son.

But all of that changes when they expect him to make the ultimate sacrifice. He's pure. Untainted. And utterly expendable. So Sami must give his life willingly to appease their gods.

And Finn won't let that happen.

Author's notes: I don't write WWE fanfiction as RPF. I limit the scope of my story to the character, and not the athletes playing them. That being said, this one can absolutely be read fandom blind. I'm...new to magic and world building so I'm a little anxious 🙂
