I belong to a multitude of book groups on Facebook.  One of them this morning asked for a very specific rec.

They wanted enemies to lovers but WAIT.. they only become lovers because they're both into the same guy and become a throuple.

My first thought: damn, that sounds familiar.  🤣🤣🤣

Title: Anti-Hero (Reyes’ Version)
Pairing: Zayne Reyes, Andrej Zeklos, James Rosewood, in several forms
Fandom: Romani Detective Original Fiction
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 4,378
Summary: Zayne progresses through several stages of his life in varying levels of self-awareness.
Author’s Note: Written for the songfic challenge at 1_million_words. I ran with the very first song prompt – Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero” because a) I love the song and b) it fits Zayne so well.  I even made a playlist that you can find here.
Hi, it's me )
asphaltcowgrrl: (Default)
The first song presented in the songfic challenge at 1_million_words was Taylor Swift's "Anti-Hero".  From the first time I heard it, it made me think of Zayne.  So, when it was presented, he is immediatly who I went to for inspriation.

I wrote something early in the fic that made me think of another song - "Love You Too Late" by Cole Swindell - and then it rather spiraled out of control and now I have a(nother) new playlist.

While I managed to keep the playlist down to nine songs, the fic topped out at over 4k words.  IN TWO DAYS I WROTE 4K WORDS. 

Anyway... if you're so inclined and use Spotify, feel free to save the playlist.  If you know of another platform where I can make a free playlist, let me know.

OH!  And hopefully I'll get the fic posted tomorrow.  It's done, I just need to give it one more read through and I don't have it in me today.



(Let's hope this embeds correctly... the preview shows it okay but... *sigh*)

So, I've heard this song several times and there's a line that always makes me laugh:

I tell myself that I should quit but I don't listen to drunks

Mind goes straight to Zayne.  I can just picture Hilary and Trish, possibly even Jake or James, surrounding him, trying to get him to leave the bar...

Anyway, it's a good song. He's becoming one of my new faves.

I don't know why all of these prompts are making me think of Zayne today.  Made myself divert a couple of times.

Also, it seems like the more of these I wrote, the longer they got and the less able I was to edit them down.  I gave up trying on the last one.
Just like living in paradise... )

Title: Date Night
Fandom: Romani Detective Original Fiction
Pairing: Andrej Zeklos/Zayne Reyes + a bit of a jelly narco
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1,463
Summary: It’s date night and Zayne has a revelation.
Author’s Note: Written for the weekend challenge at 1_million_words.  My prompts were, “You're So Vain” and “Fragrance was the sharpest trigger of memory, a transport into forgotten worlds.”  Wasn’t quite able to work siren into this, sorry.  Also, I don’t like this.  I did while I was writing, but I was also drinking overmuch last night (I was a mess), so apparently drunk me and sober me have different tastes.  Who knew?  I feel like it’s missing something but since I can’t figure out what, here you go.
He loves me he don't love you )

Not sure if any of you remember me doing  this a couple years ago, but the review site I work for does a Friday meme where they give you five words and you have to work them all into a story.  They didn't do it last year, but they're back at it this year. 

My post is here. It is ridiculous, but funny, too, I hope.  Had to curb Zayne's penchant for swearing just a tad, however.  Hahaha. 

And if you're curious and want to join in, the info is here.  (Please do!  The more the merrier!)
