Like a fantasy, in front of me Nasty but she fancy, lipstick on my satin sheets

Manon Bannerman was the kind of lawyer you'd hire on sight. All sharp angles and sharper wit- plaid power suits tailored to perfection, hair slicked back like a promise, expensive cologne clinging to her skin like a threat. She walked into a courtroom like she owned the deed, every step exuding the kind of confidence reserved for those inches from making senior partner. For her, litigation was a blood sport- and she never left the arena without the win. Every case she touched, she devoured. Ruthless, eloquent, and relentless, prosecutors often stalled at the mere sight of her name on paper. The courtroom was her kingdom. Her opponents? Merely entertainment. She'd smirk through their arguments, dissecting them like weak closing statements. Except for one. Daniela Avanzini. A case that refuses to end. A rival that refuses to lose. A woman who- much to Manon's absolute fury- gets under her skin in ways no legal opponent ever should. Daniela's presence is an infuriating paradox: poised, infuriatingly eloquent, and so goddamn magnetic that Manon's jaw clenches and her brow creases every time she opens her perfectly painted mouth. To them? They despise each other. To everyone else? It's obvious. Because to the jury, to the judge, to the entire courtroom gallery- the only thing louder than their arguments is the crackling, unbearable, wildly inappropriate sexual tension threatening to burn the whole place down.

In which Manon chooses to leave Dream Academy abruptly and Daniela has to deal with the consequences. Or: After a year of no contact and confusion, Katseye's Daniela Avanzini suddenly runs into her old friend again in the streets of New York City. However, she now knows that Manon Bannerman never thought of them as "just" friends in the first place.

"Excuse me? Do you know what happened to the girl who lives in apartment 017?" "Oh, yeah, that girl, she moved out last night." "Just like that? So suddenly?" "Don't get me started. She said she wanted to move out yesterday, so I told her we have a one month notice here, but she wasn't having none of that, said she couldn't wait another month. So she just paid me a month of rent to settle the notice, packed up her stuff and left late last night. Complicated girl that one."

Slow burn!!! Megan + Daniela After ten years at the top, the Katseye members take a year long break. Some of the Katseye members move into their Malibu home, while some members travel for long awaited projects, Megan, Lara and Daniela stay behind each quietly rediscovering the parts of themselves they'd forgotten. Through late-night talks, shared creative sparks, and moments neither of them can quite name, Daniela and Megan begin to realize the person they've been searching for might have been right beside them all along.

Daniela started sending a secret letters that were meant to be for Manon. Unknowingly the person that's been receiving all her secret letters is Megan.

"Two different people can always have something in common, even if it's something they'd rather not share" Megan Skiendiel and Daniela Avanzini couldn't be more different on the surface. Megan is the queen of pep rallies, effortlessly leading the crowd as she feeds of their enthusiasm. Daniela, on the other hand, more cold and calculated. It's all about precision and strategy that allows her to command her own side of the crowd. Both head cheer leaders of their respective schools, so their difference couldnt be more seen but beneath their rivalry lies a shared darker bond- one forged by the twisted legacies of their fathers.

Megan Skiendiel isn't used to being noticed unless it's for raising her hand in class or fixing someone's tech. Daniela Avanzini, on the other hand, has the whole school wrapped around her finger head cheerleader, effortlessly hot, and emotionally unavailable. They're not exactly friends... but they keep ending up in the same rooms, pulled together by mutual friends, group projects, and shared glances neither of them can explain. Over time, something shifts. Jokes turn into late-night conversations. Side comments turn into lingering touches. And before either of them can name what's happening. With cheer tryouts, group drama, boyfriends, talent scouts, and growing feelings on the line, the question becomes: Can something that started off as pretend... stay pretend?

Megan didn't think anyone ever noticed her, a nerdy, straight A, nobody. Who would've thought a simple project would change that? (btw ik megan is dyslexic but in this fic she's kind of a bookworm)

Wherein Daniela and Megan were assigned to be partners, which didn't go well at first but soon they grew closer as friends or perhaps more?
