"An amazing dinner spread and a favour I will owe you for life." Fourth says, and Gemini snickers. "I can give it to you in writing, redeemable whenever and how many ever times you want." "Okay, I guess." Gemini starts laughing as fourth does a little victory dance. "Only because your mom's cooking is out of this world.")

Beautiful People | wlw by ccstarfield

Perpetual quitter Vera Kwan thinks she's got it made when her style blog catches the attention of narcissistic actor Carmen Juarez, but after egos ignite a gossip war, Vera has to learn to balance her flighty ambitions and her attraction to Carmen's prickly, gorgeous manager Sharise before her Hollywood dreams fall apart like a cheap polyester blouse. ***** It's not Vera Kwan's fault that she can't hold down a job. A fashion school dropout, she dreams of becoming a famous designer, but the life of a style influencer is more grind than glamour. She just needs one big break, one chance to prove her styles are red carpet worthy. When a snarky post about her celebrity crush Carmen Juarez catches the actor's attention, Vera wins her ticket to stardom. As Carmen's stylist, she sets out to prove that she's more than just pretty clothes and the right filters, and maybe even win the affections of Carmen's aloof manager, Sharise, who she quickly finds herself falling for. After a clever fashion stunt goes viral, Vera is suddenly the most sought-after stylist in Hollywood. She even gets a job offer from Carmen's rival. But her style success may not be getting her any closer to her designer dreams, and secrets are beginning to fray her sense of purpose. If Vera can't figure out what's important enough to see through to the end, even when it seems impossible, she risks losing both the professional relationship that made her and the romantic relationship that might be the one thing that matters to her as much as fashion. ***** Complete at 100k words. *featured on Wattpad's A Latte Love, #WrittenWithPride, From Our Stars, and In her words #IWD2020 reading lists* Cover by the incredible @AnnaofthePond

Beautiful Eyes [GeminiFourth AU] by PinkMilkGear

Fot has a long-standing crush on Tinn, who serves as both his mentor and the former head of their school's music club. Since they are close friends, Tinn doesn't mind that Fot is a very clingy person. By asking Tinn to help with his homework, write lyrics for him, or do anything else to spend time with him, Fot tries his hardest to become closer to him. What Fot didn't anticipate, though, was that he would run into Gem, Tinn's identical twin brother, who would either completely wreck or significantly change his life and perspective on love. Their relationship was unstable as a result of their awful first meeting. The chaotic, romantic, and sweet journey begins! °~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~° This story is based on my AU edit on IG Link: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cwh3I3YBurI/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Note: sorry to use Gem and Fot's names but this is clearly fictional (deluluness) so rest assured.
