    Summary

    Yae grabs her by the collar and yanks her closer, forcing her down to her own level.
    “Continue to watch me, Raiden Ei,” she dares. “I will paint the world red.”

    Raiden Ei is a formidable ballerina, one admired by thousands of aspiring dancers and respected by the industry. Yae Miko is the first to understand, through a bitter epiphany, that Ei is not as easy to love beyond the screen.

    Summary

    Between everyday dilemmas of back-and-forth business tosses and overflowing emails, fashion mogul Kafka proves to be quite the elusive—and annoying, competition. Dressed in dry disdain and functioning off of three shots of espresso, Himeko spends half, if not most of the time, juggling between wanting to strangle Kafka or kiss her.

    Or: Friends to lovers to enemies to fake-lovers to lovers again(?) modern CEOs AU.

    Summary

    “I knew you were soft,” Kafka says, not derisively, but rather as if she’s... Fond. Falling.

    Tingyun could say the same.

    (Or: Kafka complicates Tingyun's life repeatedly and goads her into biting back.)

    Summary

    What can you do with regret? So little. What can you do without it? Kafka’s repeated history is a holy scripture of it.

    It’s why Kafka has dashed herself against Himeko again and again, expecting nothing different, and yet each time, it’s a new life, a new horror, a new delight.

    Kafka is playing out the script in a time loop. If something goes wrong, it’s not a problem: just die and start over. She’s on her 996th, soon to be 997th, loop. And sweet, darling, horrible Himeko shouldn’t remember a thing, so she can repeat their mistakes over and over — that is, until Himeko finds a cryptic message that messes her perfect looping life up.

    Summary

    “I meant what I said,” Kafka replies casually. “Not everything is about you. I could just be here to get my brunch, minding my own business."

    “You really expect me to believe that?” Himeko says hotly. “How awfully convenient that you were sitting outside the one restaurant where I was on my first date in months.”

    Kafka shrugs. “Coincidences can be so funny when they want to be, can’t they?”

    Or, Himeko tries to move on from a volatile relationship by going on dates again. Kafka is never more than a few steps behind.
