    Summary

    “It’s funny.” Falin rubs her cheek. “People always said they like me because I’m gentle. Quiet. Selfless. But none of that was really true.” Her mouth pulls into a small smile. “Looking back, I think I was too scared to be anything else. Too scared to want anything that would be inconvenient for anyone else.” She smiles a little wider. “And that’s what everyone liked about me, in the end.”

    Marcille inhales sharply. “Falin—”

    “But now, I don’t care. As much, anyway. I like this. I like wanting things and being honest about it. I like being strong and scary sometimes.” She digs her nails into the back of her own neck, relishing the sting. “I think I like it more than I like being liked.”

    Summary

    A witch, an ex-knight, and the best swordsman of the Northern Wilds walk into a bar, expecting to nail their easiest mission yet. The joke is on them when things don’t exactly go according to plan and two of them are forced to play pretend-lovers for a couple of days. The punchline is that they harbor not-so-secret feelings for each other that they may be forced to finally acknowledge if they want to keep up their ruse.

    Or,

    When Ale tries to save Angelo from some unwanted advances by pretending to be his boyfriend, a surprise encounter forces them to live out their lie for a little longer than expected. This, of course, should not pose any problems for Ale, who is entirely capable of waiting until they’ve beaten Galahad to be with the man he loves.

    Summary

    Thanks to one sob story and Angelo's big heart, he and Ale get roped into participating in Silvershore's annual "Tournament of Hearts:" a series of challenges made to test the city's most ardent lovers. Nevermind that they most definitely aren't romantically involved.

    Still, it shouldn't be a problem to put on a show, win the prize, right an old wrong, and absolutely not get tangled up in their messy feelings for one another—all without letting the audience or the judges realize their relationship is a sham.
