    Summary

    Ewen Egeburg never meant for one little lie to explode into a family crisis.
    He told his parents he was dating someone — and now they’ve flown to Munich just to meet her. Desperate, he begs his friend Anya Forger to play the part for one long weekend.

    Pretending to be lovers was supposed to be harmless… until it forces them both to confront everything they’ve been avoiding: Ewen’s guilt over Becky Blackbell, Anya’s unresolved feelings for Damian Desmond, and the quiet ache of growing up.

    Between awkward dinners, luxury spas, and emotional confessions, they’ll discover that love can’t be faked — but friendship might just save them both.

    Summary

    On fear, loss, and not quite moving on. Because you can believe in love all your life, feel like you will never find it, finally fight through to your happily ever after, and still have the rug pulled right out from under your feet. And you can still get back up again.

    Summary

    **Aged Up AU, Anya has no powers, Loid is actually a doctor, Yor is actually a receptionist, no operation strix**

    Anya Forger already has enough going on. She's finally landed her dream job writing for Bondman, she’s unlucky in love, and her crush doesn’t like her back. She’s also still agreeing to ruin blind dates on behalf of her best friend Becky, who just wants to fall in love the normal way, not through her father’s business connections.

    But when one of those dates turns out to be Damian Desmond, newly appointed president of Berlint TV, heir to the Desmond Group, and Anya’s very serious, very powerful boss, things spiral.

    The date goes terribly. Somehow, it still leads to a fake relationship.

    Meanwhile, Becky’s trying (and failing) not to catch feelings for Damian’s right-hand man, Ewen. And none of them are prepared for what happens when feelings get messy, secrets start surfacing, and all the careful lines between their lives blur.

    Originally inspired by A Business Proposal, now its own chaotic office rom-com about timing, ambition, bad wigs, and the slow, slow process of figuring out what and who you actually want.
