This is a piece for a writing challenge!! (wow, Sophie actually posts for one of the many, many writing challenges she entered? unheard of!) it’s for @marvelousxtsh and @peeterparkr romcom writing challenge. the quote is “Number of current boyfriends: Zero.“ from Bridget jones’ diary
Nothing about weddings were fun for Tom, who was so used to being alone that he was hardly phased when he ended up sitting alone at the table with a creaseless table cloth beneath his untouched expensive wedding food. He’d barely even lifted the fork, only choosing to glance briefly at his reflection to make sure his hair was still in place and there was nothing caught between his teeth.
It wasn’t that he was used to being alone. It was just that he wasn’t used to having someone’s hand to hold or hair to wrap around his fingers. He had long forgotten what it was like to have someone tangled up between his sheets as the sun streams in through the slit in the curtains and plush lips to kiss when his got bored.
He only knew what it was like to have temporary lovers who escaped before dawn, throwing on items of clothing back to front or inside out and wiping off the remains of their smudged lipstick.
Tom was so used to relying on one night stands for the slightest bit of intimacy that the sight of the loved up couples around him made him screw his face up. Even if deep down inside, he was itching to have someone to hold too – someone that wasn’t his dog who enjoyed snuggling up beside him at night.
Some guests were drunk on the alcohol, barely letting their champagne glasses run empty while others were love drunk. Sipping solely on gentle sways in the centre of the ballroom, consumed with the thought and presence of the other.

BEST MNEMONIC EVER
(also my regular expression in semester)

do you have any recs for enemies to lovers or something around those lines. because i loved hating game and paper princess mostly because of the relationships and i'm looking for more like those
hi, sorry this is late but hope u’ll find a new fave! :’)
the winner’s trilogy fantasy, a personal fave that i have reread a lot of times (especially the last book) with an a+ ending & amazing main characters
shatter me dystopian, i guess this one’s more popular and i personally felt like the first book is kind of slow but the others pick up the pace
daughter of smoke and bone fantasy, the mains are from two different races that are Supposed to be Enemies Forever!!!!1!!11! (yeah sure)
penryn at the end of days dystopian, there’s a literal angel & a girl who kicks more ass than i will in my entire life
falling kingdoms fantasy, there’s many povs but my favourite ones are the enemies to lovers couple [the last book is coming out next year so maybe wait a bit bc book 5 ends in the worst cliffhanger (no i have not been crying about it for almost a year)]
the wrath and the dawn fantasy, it’s a retelling of a thousand and one nights but it’s kinda insta love?? so the real enemies part ends at book 1… but i rlly liked the settings
i think uprooted has also this trope… i have it but still haven’t got to read it, lots of people love it i think but i can’t guarantee for it just yet (i think it has sex and it might be kinda dark…)
the iron fey series, i haven’t read them but astrid says they’re good though they have a love triangle
the bone season dystopian london in the future where ghosts are real (it’s a confusing book but u’ll get into it after the chapters & the romance is well done) (tho it also have mixed reviews) ((also the romance got age gap))
a court of thorns and roses the true romance happens in book 2
kulti new adult book about soccer. main char has been looking up to a soccer player since forever & now got that soccer player as her soccer coach. the romance got an age gap
kiss the sky also a new adult book, and it is in a series but u can read this + the sequel (fuel the fire) without reading the other books. (tho if u read like all the books then u get to see their relationship blossom from “hate” to love)
the duff enemies with benefit kinda. idk i really liked this one and it’s an easy read
bloodlines.
all for the game kinda but not really enemies to lovers trope. the romance doesn’t happen until like the last book but holy shit it is worth it

Setting: Harry Potter AU
A/N: So this is just a little something I came up with based on a headcanon I found somewhere in the depths of tumblr-I hope you enjoy my first Harry Potter/Narnia AU! If this inspired any further HP AU prompts, please don’t hesitate on sending them in, because I am absolute Harry Potter trash.
“Shit.”
You cursed under your breath, dropping your arm in defeat. You sighed. It seemed as if, no matter how many times you tried, the concept of conjuring a patronus was impossible.
“Having trouble?” A voice asked in amusement.
You turned to the doorway of the empty Transfiguration classroom, rolling your eyes at the smirking form of Edmund Pevensie.
“What, Pevensie?” You groaned, turning back to the wall where you had been practicing.
Edmund shrugged, leaning into the tall bookshelf by the doorframe.
“Well, to begin with,” He said smugly, straightening up and taking a step towards where you stood, “If I were you, I wouldn’t hold my wand like that.”
You scoffed, turning around abruptly to face him. “And how exactly am I holding my wand?”
Edmund rolled his eyes playfully, grabbing you lightly by the waist and turning you around. You let out a small noise in protest.
“Okay, first, improve your posture. Put your shoulders back, yeah?”
You narrowed your eyes. What was he playing at?
Reluctantly, you did as he suggested.
“Good.” Edmund said simply, slowly removing his hands from your waist and stepping backwards. “Now, raise your wand.”
You rolled your eyes, turning around to give him an irritated look. “Oh, really?” You said, your tone filled with sarcasm. Edmund just smirked, adjusting his collar.
Slowly, you lifted your wand, turning back around as you did. You held it out at arms-length, focusing your gaze on the wall before you and taking in every detail of the cluttered surrounding shelves and small desks.
“Alright,” Edmund began from behind you, “Now focus.”
“What?”
“Just…”
You could feel Edmund approaching you, his footsteps causing the wood floor to creak. You felt his warm breath against your neck as he raised his hand to place it over yours. You stabilized your grip on your wand, tilting it slightly.
“Alright, now…focus.”
Suddenly, all at once, you knew what he meant.
You felt the rush of energy inside you, building up as you raised your wand-Edmund’s hand still on yours.
“Expecto Patronum!” You cried, feeling every ounce of power within you surging through your veins and rushing to the tip of your wand.
A small, wispy blue figure appeared before your eyes, growing in size as the color became deeper and the shape became clearer.
“Merlin’s beard!” Edmund exclaimed from behind you. He immediately let go of your hand, doubling over to burst into laughter.
A round, flimsy nose was expanding from your wand, attached to what looked like the body of an oversized beetle with fur.
“Is that-“
“An Aardvark?” Edmund finished, coughing through his grunts of laughter.
You giggled, shaking your head in mild exasperation as you raised your wand further.
“I mean, it’s actually kinda cute.” You said thoughtfully, carefully gliding it along with your wand. The figure danced in the air, its abnormally long snout wrinkling with every movement.
Edmund bit his lip, clearly trying not to laugh again. “I mean, uh-” Edmund let out a small noise of amusement, but quickly covered it with a cough. “At least you know you have the ability to conjure a patronus, right?”
He paused, trying to think of anything else remotely positive to add to his statement. “And um, it’s not terrible looking from certain angles.”
You sighed with a slight tone of amusement, turning abruptly and abandoning your patronus.
“Shut up Pevensie.”
And with that, you leaned in.
That certainly shut him up.

OTHER RECS: Bring In The Bug by: @giggling-bubble One-shot, Ladynoir: A night out in the cold takes a turn for the worst when Ladybug’s body shuts down in the extreme cold. What is a cat to do for his lady, but to take her to his favorite place in all the world. Sure, taking her there had it’s risk, but with the way the decor was this time of year, she’d never notice.

A Lucky Decision by: @their-destinys-writer One-shot, Ladrien. Fluff: He still wasn’t sure how they got there. Was it the result of the decisions made that day, or was it just miraculous luck? Either way, his brain barely processed it. All he knew was that ditching his bodyguard to go for a walk on his own around the streets of Paris was the best decision he made that day.
Christmas Run by: @their-destinys-writer One-shot, DJWifi, fluff: Why did he let himself be dragged around the cold streets of Paris after an akuma? And on Christmas Eve to boot?!

We can call it a Christmas Miracle.” He hoped his voice didn’t sound as desperately pathetic to her as it did to him. “Ok, you want a Christmas Miracle?” she asked, giving him a serious once over, “If you can come up with one of your horrible puns that actually makes me laugh between now and Christmas eve, I will kiss you.” “Are you serious?” he gasped. “Yep.” “That’s it? Just make you laugh?” he ask, waiting for some sort of impossible catch. “With a pun.” Ah. There it was.

New Year’s Challenge: Sequel to The Present by: @kidstealth One-shot. Can stand alone. Adrienette. NYE: The challenge was just the thing Adrien needed to give him the drive to do what needed to be done. He wasn’t going to leave his best friend hung out to dry just because he couldn’t ask a simple question.
Something about December by: @runningoutofink One-shot. Aged Up!Adrienette. Post-Reveal.: The first steps into adulthood are difficult, especially if you consider all you left behind.
