Five minutes later the group pauses outside a ridiculous building: a fricking villa, lightest pink with white trim, Art Nouveau, and in pristine shape compared to the decrepit Prague villas Magda is used to. β€œWe’re going in there?” It has balconies and three storeys. It looks like a movie set.
They are still trailing the group, and she still has to take deep breaths. Dominik leans down. β€œAlright?’
β€œAre you not feeling it?” It’s intense.
β€œOh, I am.”
β€œDon’t leave me.”
He looks right in her eyes. His pupils are huge. β€œNo way. We stick together. Promise.”

@runwithskizzers
- Here Lies a Vengeful Bitch by 
@codiecrowley
- Love & Lattes by Beth Reekles
- Rani Choudhury Must Die by

A photo of the upper arm of a fit, outdoorsy-seeming gentleman with pale skin and light arm hair who probably owns a lot of Underarmor-brand clothing and may or may not have a man bun. It's unseen, but he definitely has a beard.

On his arm is a prominent tattoo in the font Futura:

CARGO: now querying ("querying" is crossed out and it says "queery-ing intead)

 FEATURING: eight cooking scenes, a butch lesbian rizzes a millipede, the monster (crossed out) human next door is also lazy, well adjusted (crossed out) female and non-binary leads, and finally, stealing.

 The tattoo also includes the following:
 "Dear Agents: I, Gunther, am one of the many
fans of novels about gay aliens who have
anxiety and commit crimes while having
impure thoughts about humans. We are
desperately awaiting CARGO’s publication.

Agents, check out this existing fanbase! This is my neighbour Gunther who is all-in on CARGO and who I did NOT blackmail into getting a tattoo. #SF #R #A #LGBT #Q #UnhingedPit

YUMMY.
And now I’m ready to play. So, come over here and whisper me your name. No, your true name. Names are fun. Names are my specialty.  And while you're at it, I'll take those boots, too.

Pitch: When a cocksure witch loses her magic to a cunning daemon, she hatches a ruthless plan to steal it backβ€”even if it means betraying a grieving classmate who’s only just discovered the world of magic. Book covers: Spells for Lost Things, Practical Magic, Wild is the Witch, a Dark and Secret Magic

Tropes: Clueless X Practical Magic; California vibes, frenemies to enemies, romantic debacles, dodgy strangers, betrayals, mom issues, Two good dogs, Angry girl energy, opening night dramatics, missing portal; image: young woman blowing on a burning book

Image of a witch running away; Opening LInes text: The witches wore black veils in the moonlight. 
 How dramatic. 
 Rowan, waiting at the edge of the clearing, attempted to distract herself from the cold by mentally improving the aesthetic of their ceremonial robes.
Still, she wanted one of those veils. Badly. Obviously she wouldn’t get one tonight, her very first ritual, and just her official presentation. But maybe after her naming. She could last two weeks. Surely she wouldn’t have to wait a whole damn year, until she was actually initiated? God, she hated waiting.
