West Rickert is an asshole. He's a crackhead, and he's a drunk. At least, that's what everyone says about him.

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.

[AMBYS 2024 FANTASY FAVORITE] Badriya As-Sahra is sick of piling up camel dung and picking people's pockets for a living. Her world discriminates against women and orphans, and it is only her damned luck that she happens to be both. She yearns for more but can't do anything else unless she wants to rot in the streets. Ayaz Shahrayar balances two lives: one of defiance, where he aids his people suffering from the Sultan's rule, and one of obedience, where he plays the role of a naive prince and heir in public. But his thirst for vengeance drives him more reckless by the day, and he knows that he might do something that could threaten his inheritance and his life. When the Sultan of Zecaj, desperate for more wealth to start a war, declares a country-wide hunt for a powerful artifact lost in legends called the Jewel of Opulence, Badriya jumps at the chance for the promise of reward. When the Sultan threatens Ayaz of losing the very thing he is meant to have, he has no choice but to join the hunt. As Badriya and Ayaz cross paths on their quest, they must learn to work together to find the Jewel and uncover the truth of its power. Only that it proves to be more difficult when the threat of betrayal and the spark of attraction try to distract them from their opposing goals. | 90,000 - 100,000 words.

Back in 2015 there was an accident that rocked Aurora Brahm's world. No, it wasn't a skydiving accident like she always joked she would die from. It wasn't from swimming with stingrays or sharks. It wasn't from jumping off a cliff with her husband, Jude. It was a lapse in concentration and incoming traffic. It took her world. Jude has been in a coma ever since, and the doctors have very little hope that he will recover from his vegetative state. But Aurora won't give up. This is the fight for Jude Brahm. ~ ~ ~ "The most bizarre mix of emotions twisting my stomach. Seriously, this book is amazing.

I'm in love with your story." - @amethystnebula "I am seriously in love with your story. It's probably one of the sweetest I've read in a long time. And the idea is ingenious!" - @QuixoticHearts "I love this story! The time jumps work because of the letter/journal format, and the memories/scenes you've picked to show are perfect, like the highlights of what made their relationship what it was. I absolutely love their relationship and you have created these characters so vividly." - @CCrawfordWriting gorgeous cover by @pasteldevil- ^-^
