Friends with benefits

Holiday Fling

Secret Relationship

Fake Dating

canon plot ideas:

Fake Dating: Dating for the press / social media?  Dating for Julian’s brand?  Dating just because someone won’t take the hint?  

Vacation Verse: Does the entire group go on a vacation together?  Does someone take ‘pity’ on Kyla and invite her on a two-person vacation?  Travel, unresolved feelings, very open to smut if that’s up your alley

Reality Show: With so many rich, famous, and influential teens in one place, it was only a matter of time before a producer realized just how much money could be made off of a “behind the scenes” look at Instagram’s It Kids

Heathers AU: Kyla Keller didn’t necessarily like her friends, but she definitely didn’t want them dead.  But when one person gets into her head that they can make Constance Billard a better place, Kyla soon finds herself in over her head.  ( Kyla as Veronica, Julian as Chandler, Monet as Duke, Luna as McNamara, JD is flexible! )

"I'm sure I squeezed some in somewhere."

Not enough, probably, given how little time off she took. Then again, Kyla liked to keep busy. Idle hands, and all. A few freelance projects to pay off an extra bill or two and some actual peace and quiet. What more could she ask for?

A shrug. She leaned back against her side of the bar with a playful smile. His reaction would be worth the wait. She could only hope she didn't end up blushing, this time.

"Now you know--my employees can be terrible gossips."

muses to develop

okay so like usually I talk about my current muses (gotta update that list too rip) but this is a tiny bit different! These are not ocs that I'm currently fixated on but instead like, ocs that I really want to spend more time on and figure out better

if anyone feels like sending asks for them I'd never say no (ask game tag is here) but also this is very much to hold myself accountable that i need to stop making new ocs until I've actually spent a bit more time figuring these ones out!

Starter Written for: Kyla Murphy (@fangsandmagic)

Chosen Muse: Dominic Angel-Wetherly

Mun's Note: Continuing from this but in a new thread. Will be keeping this friendly and domestic until either Dominic or Kyla decides where their friendship (relationship?) will go. I'd be more than happy to talk it over with you in the DMs.

For last 6 hours or so, Dominic stayed where he was on the bed. His arms, legs and everywhere else in his body had not moved a muscle. Not since Kyla fell peacefully asleep with her head resting softly and comfortably against his chest and the rhythm of her breathing slow but normal. He stopped smoothing his thumb over her cheek and he watched her for a little while longer until he was sure she was sleeping after a long, exhausted day of work.

It wasn't long before he noticed the sky beginning to turn light blue from her window and he realized that the sun will be rising very soon. Luckily for him, he didn't have to worry about being burned alive by the sunlight. The difference between him and his father is that Byron had to wear a ring with lapis lazuli and he had a witch he knew who casted a spell in order for it to work. As a result of it, he was able to walk around in broad daylight without an issue. Despite being born a half-breed, Dominic didn't have to wear a piece of jewelry to protect himself from the sun and unlike Edward Cullen, he does not sparkle.

Without waking up Kyla, he gently moved her head away from his chest and laid it against the pillow he was leaning on during the night. He then slowly and very quietly sat up from the bed, picked up his shoes and walked over the other side to pick up his jacket, carrying it over his shoulder. He looked down at her for another minute before leaving her alone in the bedroom and walking downstairs to the kitchen.

Once he was there, he opened the refrigerator door to pick up a few things he can use to make breakfast for the two of them. Eggs, shredded cheese, bacon, sausage and a jar of jam. He also managed to pick up the equipment he needed. A small bowl, two forks, two plates, a spatula, two medium-sized pans and two butter knives. He dumped out the water from the electric kettle that was previously used and filled it with fresh water before pushing the button for it to start boiling.

Dominic was certain he got everything he needed but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel that something was missing and he couldn't figure out what it was. He let the thought go and started cooking, placing two slices of bread in the toaster, spraying the pan with an olive oil spray and cracking open two eggs before beating them with a fork.

Throughout his life, he had never done anything as domestic, friendly and thoughtful as cooking breakfast for someone he knew for only a short period of time. He had only done it for his aunt Katherine and his godmother Lucy but never with someone as beautiful, kind and humorous as Kyla. He knew she'll have questions about him and his family she does not yet know and he'll have to be careful how to answer her. The last thing he wanted to do was to hurt her feelings by not being truthful to her. Friendships and relationships are built on trust, loyalty, respect and support for one another. It has to be earned naturally, not a spell to be casted by someone with magic powers. Friends don't let friends lie to each other and as far as he knew, Dominic was never a liar.

His thoughts ran deep into his brain but remained focus as he poured the beaten eggs into the pan and opened a bag of shredded cheese while waiting for the right moment for him to start sprinkling on it. With his enhanced hearing, he can hear someone walking down the stairs and he smiled when he saw who it was.

"Morning."

Best books of 2023

The best books I read in 2023

Knock Knock, Open Wide by Neil Sharpson (Tor Nightfire, 2023)

Imagine Tana French writing a folklore-infused horror novel, and you have Knock Knock, Open Wide. The always-thrilling plot takes in a life-changing accident, a love affair, and a sinister TV series; the storylines overlap and entwine perfectly, and there’s a lot of beautifully crafted character work. It’s a dark and eerie book, but full of life and love, too.

Black Mountain by Simon Bestwick (Independent Legions, 2021)

A mixed-media horror novel disguised as non-fiction about the many strange incidents surrounding a cursed/haunted mountain. Unputdownable and genuinely unnerving at points – I had the time of my life reading this. I’m amazed it isn’t better-known among horror fans!

The Last Language by Jennifer duBois (Milkweed Editions, 2023)

A riveting, disturbing book about a language therapist’s relationship with the autistic man she’s helping to ‘speak’ using the controversial method of facilitated communication. I read it in one fevered session, completely in the grip of the dizzying, queasy moral maze duBois creates.

Hydra by Adriane Howell (Transit Lounge, 2022)

Just when you think the ‘unhinged woman’ trend has had its day, this excellent Australian debut offers a fresh spin on the whole idea. Anja’s dry, idiosyncratic voice rings out from the page, and the plot is never far away from intimations of something dark and weird. Read if you love Ottessa Moshfegh and Tár.

My Death by Lisa Tuttle (2004, reissued by NYRB Classics 2023)

A perfect novella about a widowed writer who becomes obsessed with her latest project, a biography of a little-known artist’s muse. Astonishingly clever, convincing and absorbing, it’s a revelation and turned me into an instant fan of Tuttle’s writing.

Grasshopper by Barbara Vine (Penguin, 2000)

A beautiful and eloquent coming-of-age tale dressed up as a crime novel. The plot has so many different strands that it’s difficult to describe concisely, but this is essentially a character-focused story about identity, aspiration and love. The rare book that actually made me cry.

How Can I Help You by Laura Sims (Putnam, 2023; UK ebook out in January 2024)

Explores the tense relationship between two women with secrets (some more dangerous than others) who both work at a public library. A sharp, nuanced character study that is also utterly propulsive. If you loved Death of a Bookseller, this should be next on your wishlist.

Novel with Cocaine by M. Ageyev, translated by Michael Henry Heim (Picador, 1985)

1930s cult classic about a dissolute Russian teenager, his friendships, affairs and drug addiction. Think No Longer Human, but (in my opinion) way better. It’s philosophical, funny and stuffed with remarkable descriptive writing.

Where the Dead Wait by Ally Wilkes (Titan, January 2024)

Years after an infamous failed expedition, a captain with a sullied reputation must return to the Arctic in search of his former lieutenant. Immersive and enthralling at every level, this is a blood-soaked, frostbitten treat – I’ve been describing it as The Terror meets Heart of Darkness.

The Devil’s Playground by Craig Russell (Doubleday, 2023)

An elaborately plotted historical mystery about a legendary silent horror movie. Come for the lost film and its ghosts; stay for the well-researched portrait of old Hollywood, the world-weary heroine, and the fascinating detective story.

We Were Never Friends by Margaret Bearman (Brio Books, 2020)

A woman looks back at a strange period of her youth when her family became entangled with Kyla, a hated classmate of hers. Dazzling at the sentence level – Bearman illuminates Lotti and Kyla’s world with startling colour, vividly portraying the emotional landscape of adolescence.

Honour Thy Father by Lesley Glaister (Bloomsbury, 1991)

Four elderly – yet naive – siblings live in self-imposed imprisonment amid the squalid remains of their family home. How did they end up like this? We Have Always Lived in the Castle meets Come Join Our Disease in a dark tale that perfectly balances tender nostalgia, black humour and sinister threat.

Angel by Elizabeth Taylor (Virago, 1957)

We meet Angel as an impetuous 15-year-old convinced she will become a great novelist, and follow throughout her life as she first fails upwards, then eventually loses everything. It’s a tragic story that centres on a pathetic character, yet Taylor writes with a compassion that makes it almost romantic.

The Night Ocean by Paul La Farge (Penguin, 2017)

A labyrinthine series of stories within stories inspired by H.P. Lovecraft – but you definitely don’t need to like (or have read) Lovecraft to enjoy it. Deceptively complex, it excavates the lives of its characters while maintaining a subtle sense that the whole narrative is haunted.

Looking Glass Sound by Catriona Ward (Viper, 2023)

My favourite of Ward’s books since her debut Rawblood, this is a story about murder that deals with the long shadow it casts. It’s also about writing and witchcraft, unrequited love, and the death of the author, and is unexpectedly heartbreaking.

Brainwyrms by Alison Rumfitt (Cipher Press, 2023)

This book takes the ‘trauma as horror’ trope and eats it from the inside out. It’s full of fearless writing about fetishes, transness, transphobia, dysphoria, and what – if anything – it means to be virtuous. While often disgusting (be warned), I wanted to reread it straight away.

Where Furnaces Burn by Joel Lane (2012, reissued by Influx Press 2023)

A sprawling map of linked stories; layered, moody and strange. Not the easiest book to recommend – Lane, one of my favourite writers, invariably creates very bleak worlds – but an incredibly rewarding reading experience.

Notable reread: Kiss Me First by Lottie Moggach (Picador, 2013)

A grieving, lonely young woman finds solace on an online debate forum and ends up immersed in someone else’s life. Just as fast-paced, gripping and brilliantly voice-driven as it was when I first read it a decade ago.

Honourable mentions

So many good books came out in 2023 that I have to mention a few more. The Book of Ayn by Lexi Freiman was the funniest, sharpest, most quotable novel I read this year. I loved the intriguing layers of Ben Tufnell’s The North Shore and Viola Di Grado’s poignant Blue Hunger, translated by Jamie Richards. Verity M. Holloway’s romantic, atmospheric The Others of Edenwell deserved way more attention. And this may be an unpopular opinion, but I enjoyed Elizabeth Hand’s A Haunting on the Hill more than The Haunting of Hill House.

For thought-provoking plots: Service by Sarah Gilmartin and Kids Run the Show by Delphine de Vigan, translated by Alison Anderson. For pure thrills: Nicholas Binge’s mind-bending Ascension and Jinwoo Chong’s dazzling Flux. For both, and great suspense: A Flaw in the Design by Nathan Oates.

And not forgetting the brilliant 2023 books I read as review copies last year: Nina Allan’s masterpiece Conquest, Alice Slater’s ultra-compelling Death of a Bookseller, and Maria Dong’s loveable Liar, Dreamer, Thief.

What are three songs that never fail to make you think of your muse, and what's the specific lyrics in them that make you go "Oh shit that's my little guy?"

Three songs that I have on his playlist are

Everyone Who Casts A Shadow by Wolfsheim

"Everyone who casts a shadow seems to stand in the sun. and when your step leaves a track, you seem to be going on."

Cut Your Teeth by Kyla La Grange

"You cut your teeth on the lack of answers, singing come back home but it don't feel the same."

Don't Look Down by Jai Wolf

"Sometimes I overthink, compulsively get in my head.Wait for the truth to sink in, to feel my own skin."

[auroradicit]

today's "how can I work under these conditions" brought to you by vyvanse and 24 ounces of red bull: kyla being the only one of my muses who throws in fully with the resistence. kyla cares so much and loves so easily even if she doesn't want to show it. kyla who stays on coruscant until her id is well and truly burned and watches the safe space she built from concrete and studs be ransacked behind her by people she'd once welcomed into it. kyla who'd just wanted to stop running and starts up again because there is no other ethical choice.

also someone stop me from making a mind healer OC thanks.

Send me 🎶 and I'll arrange a playlist of 3-5 songs for our muses' relationship! | @hellsmayflower

Do You Want the Truth Or Something Beautiful? by Paloma Faith

The prophet took my hand on All Soul's Day He preached the value of deception Changing shadows by a shape-shifter's rules Tales are never just for fools The court of conscience came before me Presented me with a heavenly angel You took my hand and asked me, truth aside To his questions I replied

2. Walk by Kyla La Grange

Oh love is a pawnbroker making a steal You'll trade in your assets for something to feel And when you have spent all of your passion and pride You'll come back for more and he'll help you decide

3. King of Anything by Sara Bareilles

Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table While I look outside So many things I'd say if only I were able But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by You've got opinions, man We're all entitled to 'em, but I never asked So let me thank you for your time And try not to waste anymore of mine And get out of here fast

4. Heroes & Thieves by Vanessa Carlton

Well, disaster it strikes on a daily basis I'm looking for wisdom in all the wrong places But still want to laugh in disappointed faces You can't help me Blinded by these Heroes and Thieves at my door I can't seem to tell them apart anymore

5. Bring On the Wonder by Susan Enan

Can't see the stars anymore living here Let's go to the hills where the outlines are clear Bring on the wonder, bring on the song I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long
