I want an enemies to lovers where they GENUINELY hate each other, and try to kill/sabotage each other every time they see each other and are forced to cooperate due to some mutual enemy and realize that they actually don’t hate each others presence but refuse to show it cause they have a reputation to uphold and become boarder-line obsessed with each other and they get in a screaming match ending with “i hate you but for some reason I want to strangle name when I see them with you” or “i fucking love you okay?” you can take it from there

Book Ideas??
I really want to write a book or several books with otherkin themes sprinkled in, here are some of my ideas: ✨The MC, who has always felt "alien" and othered by society, is one day surprised by their alien lover from their other/past life ✨The MC feels like they are living another life in their dreams on another planet only to find out that it is all real ✨MC has always felt there is something otherworldly about them and then one day something happens that awakens their true self
Tell me your ideas!! I need new daydream material too even if I don't end up writing a book

I just thought of a love story between a demon and a witch. they’re bonded by the curse that makes them forget about their previous lives. they don’t remember who they actually are, who they were to each other, but when they finally meet and fall in love all over again, all memories and moments of previous life are returned to them. their motto : “always together”. “despite the place, time and circumstances - we will always find each other.”
- did I tell you that I love you?
- in this life ? 1000 times!
- I still regret not saying that even more in the past.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- I wish i could have found you sooner. - could you stop sulking and kiss me already. ----------------------------------------------------
- remember how we meet in 60s? you were dating that prick tom... - omg! can't you just let go? - well, can you let go of sheril?! - you got married, before even meeting me! i will never forgive you that!

Hear me out.
Dystopian YA where the main character is a normal person from our world who is body sharing with a person from the Dystopia.
It’s a comedy and a dystopia, maybe they fall in love, it has drama, it has so much world building.
Anyone have any ideas or want to read this, because I love this idea.

Book idea #ive lost count:
So once again, arranged marriage market. There's this young girl who has been thrown into the waves and searching the seas for that illusive fish for _years_ now.
The problem is, somehow god knows how, every time she meets with a guy, he's either A) hung up on someone else B) interested in someone else C) not interested in marriage at all. While she couldn't do anything about group C, she somehow ended up being so helpful when she spoke to groups A and B, that they ended up making _amazing_ matches after meeting with her.
Honestly, she never means to advice them, she started out so clueless as to what to talk about after the preliminary questions regarding lifestyle and future plans she just ended up listening to them rant and then advising them. After which they actually implemented her advice—and managed to marry for love.
She on the other hand has become more and more jaded. More forlorn. She honestly doesn't know if she'll ever find someone who would marry her. She isn't desperate—no, she won't marry just anyone. But she is a bit disheartened.
So when her mum comes to her with proposal number #she's lost count as well, all she thinks about is "I wonder who he's hung up on."
She agrees to meet him, because honestly she can't think of a reason why not.
The first thing she notices when she sees him in the restaurant is that he's one of the better looking guys on the roster that was now her life. She didn't expect that. But instead of excitement or butterflies all she feels is dread. It was going to be a little harder to be all blithe about getting over him if she found him attractive.
She goes up to him and says hello. Their mums sit at another table a little distance away. He gives her a genuine smile, and her heart lifts a little. She crushes the feeling as soon as it blooms.
No, no way. She's not going to get her hopes up until the first interview was over. She sits down and pulls out her list (mental list—lol, because she's not that crazy). They talk about their likes, dislikes, his future plans—hers as well. What they wanted in terms of children and how and where they wanted to live.
With every answer he gave, that little crushed bloom seemed to blossom further. He was _perfect_. Literally everything about him matched her goals for an ideal husband.
Was it too good to be true?
_Probably,_ came the jaded part of her.
"Yeah," he was saying, "I don't feel comfortable in mixed crowds either." His face clouded then, and her rolled his eyes.
"What was that look?" She asked.
He looked a bit surprised at her for noticing, but he quickly said, "Nothing."
She laughed. "I have three younger siblings. I know a guilt-ridden 'nothing' when I hear it."
"No"
"Tell me!"
He kept silent.
"I didn't think cowardly was a quality you so strongly associated with."
He looked annoyed.
Realization dawned upon her, "Oh my god it's a girl isn't it?"
His face completely gave way how he was feeling. Annoyance have way to Shock, and then, finally resignation.
It's just my...oh god, I can't believe I'm telling you this. When we spoke about being uncomfortable hanging around the opposite gender. I kind of thought of one person in particular. My sister's best friend. She's just extremely annoying. The only person who has really ever gotten under my skin."
A sinking feeling enters her stomach. "Ah," she says, forcing herself to be cheerful.
He looks frustrated with himself, "sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up. Especially since we're—"
"We're nothing. Not yet anyway. Tell me, tell me about it. Maybe I can help."
He looked at her strangely, "Oh well, alright. Are you sure this is how you want to spend our time?"
"Let me ask you something. How many women have you met since you found this girl irritating."
"A few...why?"
"Have you find them interesting in the least?"
"Not really, no."
"I rest my case."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well, it's obvious that you like this girl. That's why you can't get yourself to think about other women."
"Are you joking? Did you not hear me? I hate her."
She smiles sadly, "Enemies to lovers, dude. Best trope in the book."
He scratches his head, "I don't know..."
"Trust me. You find every little thing she does irritating right? She talks back to you, she doesn't listen. She gets on your last nerve. You can't stop thinking about her?"
"Well, yes...but—"
Even as her heart deflates a little more, she slaps on her 'matchmaker' face and says, "You. like. her. Your brain just hasn't got there yet."
He raises his brow, partly frustrated, partly amused " _Really_?"
"Yes. Now, wouldn't it be better if you processed these emotions? Either to help you move on, or so that you can chose to be with the girl who's been sitting right under your nose the whole time?"
He leans forward, "Sure, I guess. If that's what you want to do."
"Lovely," she bites out. "I think I can do this in two meetings. I've done this before, so I've got the experience. This time you're crying off though. I did it last time and if I do it again, they'll think I'm choosy. If it's random, then people will think it's just fate. Which would be better for your future and mine."
"You seem to have it all planned out."
"Not my first time."
"Second time you said that. Care to elaborate?"
She really didn't want to. He was the first of them who'd asked though. So she told him, and as she explained how each person she'd spoken to had some how made a better marriage after speaking to her she realised just how pathetic she sounded. But it also did for an amazing sales pitch. "So you see," she said, half breathless, "All good things lay this down this path."
He laughs. It's a lovely sound, she thinks. Then she pushes those thoughts away. _Nope, this man is someone elses_.
"Come on, I'll tell you how to win her over."
"You will tell me how to make a girl—subjectively speaking of course—want to be with me?"
"Yes,"
"And if I end up realizing she's not the one I want?"
"She is, trust me. I know about these things."
"Yes, from your 'past experiences'". He says, skeptical. He also looks annoyed which was just plain confusing.
"Mhmm. Yep."
He thinks it over. "Okay, let's do it."
She smiles, "Best decision you've made in a while."
"So you say." He responds.

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

Book idea, y'all
Basic idea: Every 100 years, there are 7 years of sin. 1 for each sin
Gluttony
Wrath
Lust
Greed
Pride
Sloth
Envy
Not like the rapture, but everyone on earth is affected, doesn’t matter whether your a priest or holy or anything. 
The Pride year:
Everything thinks their right, arguments and wars start all around the world, no one surrendering. The law system is destroyed by judges and jurors not being persuaded by lawyers, criminals go free.
The Wrath year:
The wars escalate and more people are killed, many people feels a strong sense to avenge anyone who died, lots of political relationships ending.
The Lust year: More children are born, replacing the population lost. More abuse happens, along with assult and all that stuff. Children are taken advantage of and kidnapped more. STDs become a leading sickness. The wars take an odd break.
The Greed year:
Economic crisis all around the globe, no one spends money, hundreds of robberies, more crimes overall. Loss of a firm currency system.
The Envy year:
The people left with no money after the last year riot and destroy and kill the people in higher classes, leading to the loss of a firm social system.
The Gluttony year:
Food grows to the point of being invasive species, alchoholism increases by double, triple, more. Heart attacks and kidney failure become top leads of death, the wars die down a bit.
The Sloth year:
All of the wars end. Infrastructure is not kept, building fall down. The invasive plants and animals are not kept at bay as they cause havoc. The air becomes polluted. Most civilizations crumble by just not enough effort being put into being kept.
PLOT: 
Everyone is slowly overcome by the urges of the Devil. The only person not affected is a young man in a small town in Wisconsin or somewhere like that . As the world governments discovers that this man exists in the year of Pride, they spend the rest of the 7 years trying to catch him. The Devil is secretly helping this man get away from them, just for fun.
