In the misty town of Silverpine, Vermont, Isobel Luxford greets each sunrise with a mix of hope and dread. Her protector, Reuben Hamilton, moves like a whisper, shielding her from unseen dangers. Together, they share a silent vow: keep the chancellor's daughter safe.

But when the town plunges into darkness, the familiar twist of time ensnares them. Conversations repeat, disasters echo, and a glowing mark on Isobel's neck hints at a deeper connection to the shadows. Each cycle reveals secrets, drawing them closer to an ancient artifact that might hold the key to escape.

As they learn to manipulate light and shadow, a question looms: can love break the chains binding them to this endless night? Will they uncover the truth before the darkness claims them?

~ 𝑮𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒉𝒐𝒈 𝑫𝒂𝒚 meets 𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝑫𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉 𝑫𝒂𝒚 in this romantic thriller where a supernatural time loop becomes a crucible for love and redemption. ~

Of Couture and Supers by JayDEvers

ONC 2026, Prompt 78: You begin to realize that nothing is quite what it seems ONGOING! Couture Magazine: the most prestigious fashion publication in the world, where hemlines are sacred, deadlines are deadly, and the coffee runs are... surprisingly literal. Every intern who walks through those gleaming Manhattan doors dreams of landing a full-time position-complete with vision, dental (including twice-yearly cleanings), and an endless supply of designer clothes fresh off the runway. Sure, the demands from editors, photographers, and even the notoriously temperamental writers can be exhausting. But an intern's day at Couture is pretty ordinary, right? WRONG. Alcide Lancaster is about to discover that his summer internship working for the iconic-yet-terrifying Ellen Montclaire comes with a few... unexpected job requirements. Like why he and a select few employees-including the formidable Editor-in-Chief herself-are the only ones taking mandatory two-hour lunch breaks. Why his thirty-to-fifty-something coworkers look suspiciously athletic, eerily youthful, and are borderline obsessed with eyewear that definitely isn't just a fashion statement. And why A-list celebrities who stop by the Couture offices seem less interested in the magazine's latest cover shoot and oddly fascinated with Alcide himself. But most importantly... What does any of this have to do with Alcide's late family, their disturbingly narrow worldview, and the real reason they wanted him out of their lives forever? All excellent questions for a young man trying to survive a summer packed with Fashion Week chaos, superpowered coworkers who treat the office like their personal runway, and a boss who's less Anna Wintour and more fierce-but-loving grandmother. Between navigating new friendships, an unexpected romance, and enough secrets to fill an entire September issue, Alcide is about to learn that in the world of high fashion... Not everything is just an illusion.
