DRACULA x IF WE WERE VILLAINS There's quite nothing like a love so secret that not even the two lovers know each others real names. They do, however, exchange locks of hair as a token of their love.🩶 HYMN is a love story. One for the ages. #questpit

All love must ruin us. Julian and Bunny have one thing in common: they're overachievers. Bunny, however, is much more naive than she ever thought herself to be, so entering a cult seems like a good idea. Killing men, too. Retelling of Julius Caesar Assassination! #questpit

THE SECRET HISTORY x DOWRY When everything has been taken from you, what do you resort to? Violence, friendship, murder, or brilliance? Fatima doesn't know the answer, but Selene does. And Fatima is willing to do anything Selene asks of her. #questpit

my best friend has some worse experiences than i do. there are things that just aren’t meant to be shared but when someone has more experience in the industry than you, is becoming an agent, and has connections with agents, you look to them for guidance. they’d confide— 3/7
