INTRODUCTION
In May 2027, a Durin × Wanderer pairing-only event will be held in Japan. To celebrate this special occasion, we are planning to publish an anthology!
The theme of this anthology is “Gifts.”
Through meeting each other, Durin and Wanderer have found something irreplaceable—something they had always longed for but could never obtain on their own.
The theme encompasses not only tangible presents, but also the many intangible gifts they give each other, such as smiles, a place to belong, and promises.
Would you like to join us in creating heartwarming stories about these two?
