Omega Off Record

by Nadia Volkov

Iris Voss's name is on every mating bond in the city. As Director of Records at Castellan House, she countersigns each contract, files it in the vault, makes it real. She is the most trusted registrar the firm has ever had — precise, unbonded, married to the work. The firm believes she has no bond of her own.

The firm is wrong.

Pucking and Fucking Around

by Rosalie James

Beau Lachance has spent twelve years being the loudest man in the Hartford Foxes' locker room. Enforcer. Bachelor-auction headliner. The guy with a girl in every road city and a contract extension on the line. He has a system. The system has kept him employed and kept him from thinking about the teammate he had a thing with in juniors at seventeen — the one whose career didn't survive when theirs got found out.

Theo Park is twenty-three, a fourth-line call-up from Springfield, and the most visible out player in the league since he wrote his own coming-out piece at nineteen. He is tired of diversity panels, tired of his estranged brother, and very tired of being a headline. He'd like to play hockey for a team that lets him be boring.

Fuck pet play where is my workplace play? You’re such a good assistant. Keep that up and you’ll get a raise. My favourite little corporate bootlicker let me watch you fumble up the corporate ladder like a bumbling idiot

soooo yes I have written a fan fic based on jon bernthal. here's the premise: Writing her first movie with her best friend was supposed to be the pinnacle of Marie's career. A wild night out to celebrate leads her straight into the arms of Cane; a rugged, devastating stranger who gives her a breathless night, and leaves her hoping for more. 

Then comes Monday morning.

When their lead actor drops out, Marie walks onto the Universal backlot to find her new star: Cane. Except he isn't just "Cane." He's Cane Miller. A reclusive, brilliant, Oscar-winning legend who has been hiding from Hollywood for a decade.

With six months on a closed set, Marie draws a strict line in the sand: keep it professional. But between the magic of the soundstage and the quiet corners behind the monitors, the chemistry they share is a scorching, unavoidable force. Marie is done being afraid of what she wants. But when the high-stakes pressure of the studio starts closing in, she'll have to decide if loving her leading man is worth risking the dream she worked her entire life to build.

Before the Storm by Mari Carr

5 stars

Honestly, a story where we know it is all going to come apart from the start gives me such anxiety! In this case, that was a large part of the book. But that didn’t stop me from relishing in our couple getting closer. That didn’t stop me from oohing and aaahing over the little moments they had together. That didn’t stop me from hoping it wouldn’t devastate me when it all fell to pieces (it did!). Though, once everything was in the open, once our characters realized they could have a chance, and once their truths only solidified their commitment to each other, I forgot all those worries. I fell deeply and totally in love with them, as much as they fell deeply and totally in love with each other <3

Some logistics for my BloodyMary Teacher AU cuz it’s been on my mind non-stop

#yapsession

Feel free to comment your opinions on anything cuz I’m still a little stumped on how to portray them all

Everyone is human! Yay! Eridian human designs! I’m probably going to end up drawing some of them so you can see them past my descriptions.

Adrian is the school principal because she’s a girlboss. I know she’s technically a scientist but having her be the principal just felt right also she has her doctorate so dw she’s still very educated

Rocky (real name Robert) ((name still WIP)) is a 7th grade math teacher. I just felt like since he was an engineer math would basically be his thing right? Plus in not getting rid of his passion for engineering (which I plan on using later in the story) But like he could be a math teacher that actually explains HOW math works and why it’s important to learn it!

Dr. Grace is basically exactly the same. Overqualified 8th grade science teacher, just with less space trauma!

I’m still debating what kind of teacher Simon will be. At first I was going to have him be an assistant principal to Adrian, then I scratched that. Now I’m considering him being the 7th grade science teacher cuz of his interest in botany?? And he and Grace can bond over science maybe.

Thoughts?

Soft Launch

by Maya Chen

Park Yoon-jae moved back to Seoul two years ago with a three-year contract, a clean apartment in Hannam-dong, and a plan to never set foot inside an idol agency again. Then SUNVEX Entertainment assigned her to LUXION — a fourth-generation boy group nine months from contract expiration, in trouble with their fandom, and one bad press cycle away from quiet dissolution. Her job is to media-train them in English for the US tour that's supposed to save them.

Han Do-yun is the group's lead vocalist, the one the fancams call the stabilizer. He's been performing a version of himself for so long he isn't sure what's underneath. He's the one who keeps asking Yoon-jae for the real answer, not the rehearsed one. The one who notices when she switches into the Korean register her mother taught her. The one whose contract decision is six weeks behind hers.
