I have the outline of a story where these two are bound to each other for balance. Repose causes all in her vicinity to relax and fall asleep before losing all will to live. Rage is in a contestant state of fiery upheaval internally, and that animus radiates and infects everyone. Hers was a life of constant death, where every living thing she neared fell and soon died. His was an exhausting existence of everlasting combat. By chance, they crossed paths and changed each other's lives forever. Together they are the essence of balance, and for the first time, they are able to engage with the world. They wander the crossroads and seek new experiences and work together to heal from a lifetime of trauma.
