This past January, I made a parody video on TikTok of the "wounded scene" trope that happens between budding lovers in many YA/fantasy series. I threw in some Zodiac jargon just to give the scene some substance and named the main character Rune. It got millions of views, and from there, I just...never stopped. We're about to complete the 4th and final season of the series.

Ryder, our enemies-to-lovers slow-burn character for Rune is from Sector Aries -- a fire sign. He first tells Rune that he will support her mission to unite the Zodiac by saying she's "backed by fire." It has become a saying between them communicating support for one another...and ultimately love.
