☀️TANGLED x WICKED☀️

Princess Raizel’s fine giving her crown to the young blonde witch at her tower. Even if Gisela mocks R’s 75 ft long bushy brown hair. Or if Gisela courts the cute bard boy lured to the tower by soulmate-finding magic…Except his true soulmate is Raizel.

A heart-devouring fox demon bard seeking to become human joins the deadly race up a wish-granting mountain and falls for a soft-hearted grump demon hunter who would kill her if he knew she was a demon.

F/NB WAYFARERS x MURDERBOT

Alien ship’s cook Tai can get through this. Things’ll go back to normal. Steal the cargo, stop being scared of the human, wipe the security feed, stop thinking about the human, get out of the vault, stop having feelings for the human. Easy. #DVPit #A #SF #LGBT #DIS #ND

SEVEN DAYS IN JUNE x LOVE ISLAND
My ex (27M) & I (27F) haven’t spoken in a decade. But now we’re on our publisher's version of Love Island & we're a pair. I hate him, he’s begging for a 2nd chance. AITA if I give him the second chance despite keeping our daughter a secret?

LET THEM *BE* CAKE 🍰
Under a fascist empire led by a queen whose touch can turn bodies into sugar, a grieving royal translator finds solace in outlawed books. But when caught, she must escape and lead the revolution inspired by her defiance, or face being turned into royal dessert.

There is a blue-and-pink-tinted portrait of a noblewoman in French aristocratic garments with her face scribbled in pink ink. A border in the same pink ink, with illustrations of flora and cake, surrounds the woman.
