HalfLight

She just wants a normal life, but when you're only as solid as the light around you, things are always complicated. Her friends each seem to hide a secret, but hers could get them all killed.

Dylan has a problem - she is only as solid as the light around her, and she doesn't know how she does it. Whether by instinct or desire, she seeks out the shadows and other dark places that let her disappear. It helped in her job as a Night Courier, delivering high-value black-market packages to unnamed people. It made her unstoppable, rare, and valuable. Turning to smoke or vapour would seem like a good thing when it happens in dark and dangerous places, but she feared losing herself to it.

She enlists the help of a former police officer to help her leave the life of shadows and danger behind. Unaware of her true identity, he changes Dylan's name to Simone and assigns her a babysitting job, watching over a cafe owner name Carol.

As Simone, she works as a waitress, hoping to keep her own secret while helping those around her and finding a semblance of a normal life. As she discovers more mysteries around her, she wonders if anyone truly has a normal life.

When she meets a man with the ability to negate her mutation, she is intrigued, but he seems to be more of a complication than friend. He can track her, and finds ways to interfere with what she's doing. She can't tell if it's intentional, or why and how he finds her.

When who she was collides with who she is, she isn't the only one in danger.
