Favorite Romance Tropes: ✨️ Grumpy/Sunshine ✨️ Hurt/Comfort ✨️ You came. You called. ✨️ Who did this to you? ✨️ Enemies to Lovers ✨️ Forbidden Love ✨️ Forced proximity. Bonus points if they're snowed in & there's only one bed. #SumLuv

Even though Nick & Karina have history, they don’t fall in love instantly. There’s definitely attraction at first sight, which eventually turns into lust & yearning and a deepening emotional & physical connection. They do fall in love, but it takes a bit of time for them to admit it. #SumLuv

The 2 romantic leads: Nick - cranky and guarded, leather-wearing Immortal Witch King who has a good heart. Karina - sassy and sweet, coffee-addicted ER nurse turned apprehensive Immortal Witch Queen. #SumLuv

Reincarnation plays a big part in Nick & Karina's story. Nick & Karina literally run into each other since they've both been reborn while in Chicago. It's their meet cute moment & it's filled with chaos, confusion, shock, and even a bit of TLC. #AwesomeCharacters

Cursed WIP: The MMC doesn't even bother showing up. He's got better things to do, like hunting & killing demons. Rachel helps herself to the booze, starts a massive fight with a group of patrons, gets fired, & burns the place down within the first 20 minutes. #AwesomeCharacters

🌸🪻Amelia Kayne🪻🌸@ameliakayne· 23d

Nick reminds me of a nighttime storm with frequent lightning, wind-driven rain & quaking thunder: powerful, ominous, & potentially deadly. Karina reminds me of a breezy, sunny day with some thick, passing clouds: warm, yet refreshing with the potential for some cleansing rain. #AwesomeCharacters

🌸🪻Amelia Kayne🪻🌸@ameliakayne· 25d

Nick & Ryan love cracking jokes and taking playful jabs at each other. Nick's sense of humor runs dry & snarky, while Ryan's is witty & a bit more goofy. They know how to lighten the mood and their scenes almost always put a smile on my face. #AwesomeCharacters

Snippet from Nick's short story, Adopting Aria

Ryan parked his ass next to his, mirroring Nick’s stance. “The soccer moms are gonna miss you.”
“Or maybe it’s you they’re gonna miss,” Nick drawled, his gaze roaming over the sprawling campus, which looked like a picture-perfect brochure for some ivy-league school.
“Of course, they’re gonna miss me,” Ryan replied. “Who wouldn’t miss seeing this face? But it’s you they’re all about.”
“You need to start wearing a hat.” Nick rolled his eyes from behind his dark designer shades. “I think all that sun fried your brain.”
“I’m being serious.”
“So am I,” Nick replied. “Add sunscreen to your routine while you’re at it.”
“Look man, you’ve got this whole brooding DILF vibe going on.” Ryan nodded towards the group of soccer moms swarming the parking lot. “The ladies are all about that shit. I mean, look at them, they’re practically drooling in their strappy sandals.”

Nick & Karina answered this question during their takeover 3 years ago. 😁 Answer & link to their full character interview below. ⬇️ #JulyInterviewFic ameliakayne.com/2023-takeove...

2. What is the most absurd rumor you’ve ever heard about yourself this past year?
Karina: They’re all pretty absurd, if you ask me.
Nick: Yup. Got plenty of contenders.
Karina: I think I’ve died twice this past year.
Nick: You beat me. I only kicked it once.
Karina: Then there were the multiple pregnancies and secret births.
Nick: And our secret family.
Karina: Oh yeah. Our five kids that we’re magically hiding away from the world. You’d think I’d remember birthing them all, but what the fuck do I know?
Nick: Apparently you pop out kids faster than toast out of a toaster.
Karina: That explains a lot. And let’s not forget about Aria and Lexi being part of our miraculous, mystical horde of mini-mes.
Nick: Our horde that we’ve covertly created so we can take over the world.
Karina: Kurwa. I forgot all about our plans for global domination.
Nick: Gotta set a reminder in our calendars.
Karina: Good thinking.

🌸🪻Amelia Kayne🪻🌸@ameliakayne· Jul 8

Karina: That I'm not a doormat. Some people seem to equate my empathy with weakness. Nick: You're not weak. Far from it. Karina: I know, but they still test me and then get all shocked when my inner bitch comes out to play. Nick: Some lessons gotta be learned the hard way. #JulyInterviewFic

🌸🪻Amelia Kayne🪻🌸@ameliakayne· Jul 7

Karina: Abandonment. I don't think I can handle being ghosted, or have someone I love become a ghost, again. Nick: You don't need to worry about that. Not with me. *squeezes her hand* And fuck anyone who willingly walks out of your life. They never deserved you in the 1st place. #JulyInterviewFic

🌸🪻Amelia Kayne🪻🌸@ameliakayne· Jul 2

Nick: No moment. Just a culmination of bullshit & steel determination to be nothing like my parents. Kari: Mission accomplished. You're nothing like your parents. *sighs* I... don't want to talk about it. Nick: Then don't. Your past is no one's damn business. #JulyInterviewFic

It's been a long & shitty day. Time to dissociate from reality & see what kind of chaos awaits me in my fictional fantasy land. #WritersLife #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

I don't 'write' my characters, I just watch them do stupid shit and write up the incident report.

Tonight's gorgeous sunset after a long, stormy day.

Stunning sunset peeking out amidst the storm clouds & tree tops, casting a burnt, bright orange & pinkish glow in the sky.

It's only Tuesday & this week has been absolute nightmare. Think I'm gonna pop open some wine & spend the rest of the night interviewing my fictional people. #WritersLife #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

If I had to pick someone to play Nick & Karina, Colin O'Donoghue & Teresa Palmer would be a good fit. #MemeMay

Tropes with a twist? Only one bed. In Fated, there's no shortage of beds, but Karina would rather share Nick's. And even though Nick's not really the sharing type, he doesn't mind sharing his bed, room, clothes, or anything else with Kari. #MemeMay

🌸🪻Amelia Kayne🪻🌸@ameliakayne· May 19

A meme that summarizes one of my secondary characters. I would say that this one fits Ash perfectly. #MemeMay

A woman with short black hair and glasses is standing in front of a projector screen with a clicker in her hand. She's wearing pink birthday hat, white shirt, black tie and black vest.

🌸🪻Amelia Kayne🪻🌸@ameliakayne· May 9

Nick just wants some alone time. As the Immortal Witch King & leader of his coven, he rarely gets a moment to himself. In the story, he takes Karina to his beach house on a date, where they get a break from the chaos. But unfortunately, their reprieve is short-lived. #AwesomeCharacters

John Hamm as Don Draper. He's sitting down at a restaurant and wearing a dark suit and striped tie, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

I am terribly sorry if you don't like my harsh honesty. But I don't like your sugar coated bullshit either.

Actually wrote some words today. Not on my main WIP. But I did start a new short story, because apparently I need to add another writing project to my growing list of WIPs. 🙃 #WritersLife #WriterProblems #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Fated WIP (vague due to possible spoilers): Nick & Karina head into enemy territory, where Kari offers herself up as bait (much to Nick's dismay). They lure the group of rogue [redacted] outside & into a trap, leading to the rogues deaths. #AwesomeCharacters
