#fake romance

Story idea: two non-emotional sapient robots pretend to be in love with each other to convince their human inventors that they are truly sapient and be allowed to decide things for themselves. 

The ruse is kept up for several weeks before it’s figured out that both of the robots are mechanically incapable of experiencing romantic attraction and have been lying this entire time. The humans actually decide that this actually makes a stronger case for human-like sapience than “love” alone would. Most animals can probably experience an emotional state comparable to love; but this stunt they pulled clearly shows they have self-serving interests, are willing to lie for personal gain, can trust each other to keep up the lie, can predict how others will respond to incomplete or false information, and perform long-term planning.

Just recommending a fic- Fauxmance by aplacetostart on ao3.

If you like fake relationships, quidditch draco, and ministry of magic hermione…this story is soo for you. On the plus side we have Pansy being an absolute icon.

Thanks!

Fauxmance - aplacetostart - E, 33 chapters - Ten years into their respective careers, Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are each looking for a change. Hermione is running for Deputy Minister alongside Kingsley Shacklebolt following her impressive ascent through the Ministry. After a lengthy stint playing for the Falmouth Falcons, Draco is retiring from the field with coaching on his mind. So when public relations mastermind Pansy Parkinson pushes them together to help achieve their goals… what could go wrong?

I Wish We Had Forever by Jessica Peterson is now live! 

A scorching hot, brother’s-best-friend, bad-boy/good-girl, fake-marriage standalone romance in the small-town Harbour Village series …

My Review I am head over heels in love with Abel. I loved how they are all about making sure her dad knows everyone is happy and settled. Plus Abel & Jenny are SPICY 🌶️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️! Oh my goodness this Abel is a whole other level, and I LOVED it. I have enjoyed these books so much. Abel is my favorite though. He had so many things he thought he couldn’t get passed in order to be happy, but Jenny was so sure of him. I highly recommend this set of Harbour Village books.

I’ve been pining for Abel Miller since we were teenagers. He’s sexy as hell, and has always played a starring role in all my fantasies. Too bad he only sees me as his best friend’s little sister.

He’s also a broody playboy who takes home a new girl every night, while I’m looking to find forever with someone. Abel and I couldn’t be more different.

But when my dad gets sick and says he just wants to see me safe, settled, and happily in love, Abel shocks me by offering to pretend to be my husband.

Now I’m living with the man of my dreams in his luxe bachelor pad as his fake wife. Plot twist: it only has one bed. Which isn’t a problem, until he accidentally walks in on me naked and I wind up bent over the couch with him on his knees between my legs.

Turns out my feelings weren’t so one-sided after all. But Abel swears he’s too much of a bad boy for the type of relationship I’m looking for, and warns me not to fall in love with him.

Can I convince him he’s always been the one for me? Or am I just headed for heartbreak by wishing we had forever?

I WISH WE HAD FOREVER is book three in the standalone interconnected Harbour Village series.

specific tropes in romance that always heal something in me that it never broke

like, forehead kisses, soft love confessions, peppering kisses all over the lover's face. promises that are kept, hands those are held with a gentle love, and hugs that engulf the heart too.

or when they rest their head on your chest, or lean on you for support.

"your tears kill me," kinda thing. or when a sunshine character finally cries and bawls their entire life's hurt out into their comfort grumpy character (plus point, if the grump feels guilty thinking if they had done something to trigger this emotional outburst)

communication. no matter hard the topic is, how big your differences are.

listening to the other person yap

admiring their facial features and seeing not just the outer structure but the person that they really are.

them getting angry on ur behalf

cradling each other in hugs basically

feeling emotional walls break when you're with that one person particularly

gentle communication. yearning to do more for your lover (!!!!)

affectionate smiles and eyes crinkling with a smile that's directed specially at you.

finding their laugh contagious.

the feeling of being accepted, despite flaws and all

silent domestic acts like being in the kitchen together, dressing up together, them drying ur hair while u sit between their legs

occasionally stolen kisses

or one deep kiss that just lights your world and fulfills your soul and heart.

sleepily nuzzling into each other!!

reaching for each other despite being asleep, with mumbled endearments and whispers of need!!!

laughter coming easily by their side, like happiness is just another day to day thing (this can also be about self love. when u truly love urself and prioritize your own rights and cherish the fact that you're you. happiness becomes beautiful even in solitude)

their fingers buried deep in yo- OOPS.?! :)

4 Years, 9 Months, 16 Days...

New blog post. New Book. New Year. Okay, it's March, but it's still new!

That’s a random post title, isn’t it? I agree, it is…until you learn that 4 years, 9 months and 16 days is how long it’s been since I’ve published a book. But who’s counting, right? BUY NOW Me. I’m counting. Publishing has always been the worst part of this writing life for me because it is so intimidating. This is when I toss my little story into the world to let it soar or crash on its own.…

this is my favorite clip to ever exist.

[vulpixelates]

i know it will never happen but i so desperately desire an origins-type playable backstory thing in all games but especially veilguard. i feel like it added so much depth to origins and made you feel instantly connected to your character in a way that gets lost in games like inquisition where you fill in the blanks as you go except for the bare basics. like, i do enjoy the freedom to willy nilly decide where a character was before the events of the story from a creative perspective, but the playable origins were just so good! especially when you go back to where your warden is from and can engage differently with the arcs there

I just read the first volume of the #PartofYourWorld series and absolutely loved it. Volume 2, #YoursTruly, just came out and it's just as good as the first one. #AbbyJimenez is my favorite new-to-me author! #newbooks #bookreview #audiobook #april2023book

A novel of terrible first impressions, hilarious second chances, and the joy in finding your perfect match. Dr. Briana Ortiz’s life is seriously flatlining. Her divorce is just about finalized, her brother’s running out of time to find a kidney donor, and that promotion she wants? Oh, that’s probably going to the new man-doctor who’s already registering eighty-friggin’-seven on Briana’s “pain in…
