The Academy of Ash and Gold // Xavier Thorpe
**A fanfic inspired by the series "Wednesday"**
At Reichenbach Academy, a centuries-old institution, the burgundy-and-gold uniforms are pressed and dry-cleaned. Aiming for perfection and status. The academy, nestled in the depths of the Swiss Alps, is built on secrets and harbors an ancient force that has begun to stir underground.
When Danny, a werewolf student, collapses mid-class, with glowing, mysterious sigils etched into his skin, whispers of a new sickness ripple through the school. The administration calls it contained. The students know better.
Thorn Rosales, a half-vampire psychic with a reputation for trouble, feels the song in her bones long before anyone else does. Xavier Thorpe, the tortured artist from Nevermore, still haunted by the Hyde and his own mistakes, starts sketching the same symbols that now burn across his classmate's skin.
Drawn together by coincidence, or something far more dark and deliberate, they uncover the truth. That this academy has secrets it has always wanted to forget.
But Reichenbach has always thrived on silence.
And the walls are starting to sing.
