Brielle couldn't get over the fact that she met Talin. In addition to being one of this year's defender for The Offering, Talin was cunning, strong, and beautiful. Talin, unfortunately, also wants her dead.

Being known around town for pastries are a perk, usually a lot of people know you so your presence is spread around. Therefore when comitting crimes.. It takes a whole other turn. It becomes an unyeilding curse at the sight of everyone. So they prescribed me a psychologist...Although I didn't think anyone could out-craze me-turns out, she did. Dear god how I laughed when I found out she was a bigger lunatic.."

Every woman before Blair could step into both roles effortlessly. Except her. People love telling stories about ballerinas becoming their Black Swan like darkness suddenly appears the moment someone finally lets go, but Blair Lockwood has spent her entire life knowing it doesn't work that way. In the Lockwood family, dancing both the White Swan and the Black Swan is practically inherited, and Blair has everything she should need to pull it off. She has the technique and the discipline and the control, yet every time she performs the Black Swan, something still feels missing, like she's reaching for a version of herself she can never fully touch. Then Lovina Ander arrives at the academy and suddenly everybody's attention shifts. Blair thought Lovina was coming for the role. She didn't realize Lovina's attention had been drifting toward her the entire time. And somewhere between rivalry and obsession and the pressure of becoming the dancer her family expects her to be, Blair starts discovering parts of herself she was never supposed to touch.

This is a story set in the 1950s. A time when women need permission for almost everything- where they work, what they say, even how loudly they are allowed to exist in a room. The story follows a woman named Ophelia. A wife. A secretary. A woman learning how to survive inside rules she did not write. Her life is ordinary in all the expected ways. Until she is fired for speaking when she should not have, and sent into the orbit of a woman who should not be as powerful as she is. A female CEO, in a world built to make women small. Ophelia is not supposed to look at her too long. But she does. And in a world where men decide what is proper, what is allowed, and what is dangerous, two women are not meant to choose each other. But they do. Now love is not gentle. It is not safe. It is something that has to survive scrutiny, control, and consequences. And Ophelia is no longer sure whether what she is risking. Is it her reputation... or her entire life. #1 opression #51 matureaudience #8 feminism #29 sapphic #5 1950's #61 bisexual

She was nobody. A shut in streamer, wasting away her days broadcasting otome games to a handful of viewers. Her life was a blur of glowing screens, energy drinks, and the crushing thought that nothing would ever change. Until it did. One night, live on stream, she collapsed, only to open her eyes inside the very game she had been playing. A world of nobles, roses, and glittering romance awaited her... along with a script she already knew by heart. But she wasn't the heroine fated for love. She wasn't even the villainess destined for infamy. She was a side princess. A name mentioned once, only to vanish into obscurity. Pretty, forgotten, and doomed to marry into some royal family before fading from history. No. Absolutely not. If this was her second chance at life, she refused to be background decoration. If the world wanted her to be a pawn, she'd become the queen. And if the story already had a heroine and a prince... Then she would choose the only role powerful enough to change everything: the villainess.

Celeste Raines has built her empire on control. An Academy Award-winning actress and Hollywood's most enigmatic star, she knows better than anyone that desire and discipline don't mix - not in an industry that thrives on scandal. She lives by one rule: never blur the line between work and real life. Then Rowan Hart walks into the audition room. Bold, magnetic, and unafraid, Rowan is everything Celeste has tried to guard herself against. She's new to the Hollywood machine, but her raw fire lights up the screen - and when she's paired with Celeste for the film of the year, the chemistry is instant, undeniable, and exactly what the studio wants. But what begins as rehearsed intimacy quickly bleeds into something dangerous. Every stolen glance and unscripted touch threatens to unravel Celeste's carefully crafted walls - and reveal a truth she's kept hidden from the world, and from herself, for far too long. In a city where secrets are currency and desire can destroy, Celeste and Rowan must decide: will they stick to the script, or risk everything for the one thing neither of them can fake?

𝐄𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 does not believe in second chances. Not with people. Not with love. Not even with herself. Since her husband's death, she has drowned her feelings in wine and work.

𝐍𝐨𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬 does not have time to fall for someone. She is too busy holding down her job, keeping her sick mother afloat while sinking herself. When she is offered the chance to become a private chef for double the pay, she takes it, telling herself it is just work. Just friendship. Nothing more. It is about how some things leave, yes. But some things stay, even when you're sure they shouldn't.

And Eloise is about to learn that even the strongest flames can be trapped in glass. - a new whole different ride my lovelies a/n
