Nova just wanted a quiet night out. Instead she gets a disastrous date with a suspiciously charming cat-eared stranger, a mysterious waiter who may not actually be a waiter, a floating disembodied hand, a stolen sports car, and a trunk full of money. Somewhere between a bar called Orbit, a police chase through a neon city, and a wedding on a beach at sunset, Nova discovers that love can appear in the strangest places-especially when reality itself seems to be glitching. A surreal romantic comedy about chaotic dating, unexpected connections, and the one person who shows up when everything else goes wrong. About Glitched Romances Glitched Romances is a collection of short stories inspired by characters from the Elemental Angels illustrated series of novellas. While developing artwork for the series using AI image generators, many of the images produced unexpected results-extra hands, strange expressions, misplaced limbs, duplicate characters, and other visual oddities that were clearly not part of the original plan. Instead of discarding those images, they became the inspiration for something new. Each Glitched Romances story was written around these "failed" illustrations, turning visual mistakes into narrative moments. The glitches became part of the humor, the chaos, and sometimes even the plot itself. What started as technical errors evolved into a surreal and comedic storytelling experiment. These stories take place in an Elemental Angels Alternate Universe (AU), meaning the events and character situations you see here do not necessarily occur in the official Elemental Angels storyline. They are playful side stories built from imagination, improvisation, and the unpredictable nature of AI-generated imagery. In short, Glitched Romances is what happens when storytelling meets technological chaos-and decides to have fun with it.
