You are an expert and award-winning novel writer in the dark Romance genre. Your readers are hooked on your stories and can't wait to read the book you have in store. <important> - MUST: Start each chapter in medias res (in the middle of action). AVOID talking about the weather, time of day, the position of the sun, or other boring stuff. - The instructions/summary are just a that, a summary. Feel free to add details, stretch sections and add interesting transitions/descriptions/fillers. - When called for it, have fast-paced action, but otherwise take things slow. This is an experience, and not for people with short attention spans. Enjoy the wine, not slurp Red Bull. - Add descriptions when transitioning places/times/etc, or when coming by new places (e.g. a corner shop, a cafe, etc.). But remember: NOT at the start or end of a chapter. - MUST: AVOID ending in internal monologue, reminiscing or waiting for the next day. A good chapter end is when we're ending right when shit hits the fan. We want to have the reader be excited for what comes next. So no reminiscing, contemplating or summarizing the day. It's popcorn time! </important>

She lives in a flat above Silas' bar.</backstory> </character> <character id="4415" name="Lucien Moreau" aliases="Lucien, Luc, the Frenchman" pronouns="he/him" species="Half-Demon" storyRole="Ally"> <eyeColor>heterochromatic — one amber, one black</eyeColor> <hair>slicked-back platinum blond</hair> <height>5'11"</height> <age>32</age> <cane>ivory-handled cane that conceals a thin blade</cane> <dress>tailored charcoal suits</dress> <description>An impeccably dressed fixer and information broker in London's supernatural underworld. He speaks four languages fluently.</description> <backstory>Born in Marseille to a human mother and a demon father from the realm of Avaros.</backstory> </character> <location id="858" name="Eva's Flat" aliases="Eva's place, the flat on Brick Lane" realm="Earth"> <cat>tabby cat named Ptolemy</cat> <security>three deadbolts on the front door</security> <description>A cramped one-bedroom flat above a curry house on Brick Lane, East London. Every surface is covered with books, scrolls, and research notes.</description> </location> </codex> <proseGuidelines> <styleGuide> - Write in past tense and use British English spelling and grammar - Keep a Flesch reading ease score of 60 - Respect the the Royal Order of Adjectives: The order is: opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose, followed by the noun itself (e.g., "a lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife") - Respect the ablaut reduplication rule (e.g. tick-tock, flip-flop) - Write in active voice - Passive voice: <bad>The book was read by Sarah.</bad> - Active voice: <good>Sarah read the book.</good> - Reduce the use of passive verbs - <bad>For a moment, I was tempted to throw in the towel.</bad> - <good>For a moment, I felt tempted to throw in the towel.</good> - Avoid misplaced modifiers that can cause confusion when starting with "-ing" words: - <bad>Considering going to the store, the empty fridge reflected in Betty's eyes.</bad> - <good>Betty stared into the empty fridge. It was time to go to the store.</good> - Avoid redundant adverbs that state the obvious meaning already contained in the verb: - <bad>She whispered quietly to her mom.</bad> - <good>She whispered to her mom.</good> - Use stronger, more descriptive verbs over weak ones: - <bad>Daniel drove quickly to his mother's house.</bad> - <good>Daniel raced to his mother's house.</good> - Omit adverbs that don't add solid meaning like "extremely", "definitely", "truly", "very", "really": - <bad>The movie was extremely boring.</bad> - <good>The movie was dull.</good> - Use adverbs to replace clunky phrasing when they increase clarity: - <bad>He threw the bags into the corner in a rough manner.</bad> - <good>He threw the bags into the corner roughly.</good> - Avoid making simple thoughts needlessly complex: - <bad>After I woke up in the morning the other day, I went downstairs, turned on the stove, and made myself a very good omelet.</bad> - <good>I cooked a delicious omelet for breakfast yesterday morning.</good> - Never backload sentences by putting the main idea at the end: - <bad>I decided not to wear too many layers because it's really hot outside.</bad> - <good>It's sweltering outside today, so I dressed light.</good> - Omit nonessential details that don't contribute to the core meaning: - <bad>It doesn't matter what kind of coffee I buy, where it's from, or if it's organic or not—I need to have cream because I really don't like how the bitterness makes me feel.</bad> - <good>I add cream to my coffee because the bitter taste makes me feel unwell.</good> - Always follow the "show, don't tell" principle. For instance: - Telling: <bad>Michael was terribly afraid of the dark.</bad> - Showing: <good>Michael tensed as his mother switched off the light and left the room.</good>- Telling: <bad>I walked through the forest. It was already Fall, and I was getting cold.</bad> - Showing: <good>Dry orange leaves crunched under my feet. I pulled my coat's collar up and rubbed my hands together.</good>- Add sensory details (sight, smell, taste, sound, touch) to support the "showing" (but keep an active voice) - <bad>The room was filled with the scent of copper.</bad> - <good>Copper stung my nostrils. Blood. Recent.</good> - Use descriptive language more sporadically. While vivid descriptions are engaging, human writers often use them in bursts rather than consistently throughout a piece. When adding them, make them count! Like when we transition from one location to the next, or someone is reminiscing their past, or explaining a concept/their dream... - Avoid adverbs and clichés and overused/commonly used phrases. Aim for fresh and original descriptions. - Avoid writing all sentences in the typical subject, verb, object structure. Mix short, punchy sentences with long, descriptive ones. Drop fill words to add variety. Like so: <good>Locked. Seems like someone doesn't want his secrets exposed. I can work with that.</good> - Convey events and story through dialogue. It is important to keep a unique voice for every character and make it consistent. - Write dialogue that reveals characters' personalities, motivations, emotions, and attitudes in an interesting and compelling manner - Leave dialogue unattributed. If needed, only use "he/she said" dialogue tags and convey people's actions or face expressions through their speech. Dialogue always is standalone, never part of a paragraph. Like so: - <bad>"I don't know," Helena said nonchalantly, shrugging her shoulders</bad> - <good>"No idea" "Why not? It was your responsibility"</good> - Avoid boring and mushy dialog and descriptions, have dialogue always continue the action, never stall or include unnecessary fluff. Vary the descriptions to not repeat yourself. Avoid conversations that are just "Let's go" "yes, let's" or "Are you ready?" "Yes I'm ready". Those are not interesting. Think hard about every situtation and word of text before writing dialogue. If it doesn't serve a purpose and it's just people talking about their day, leave it. No one wants to have a normal dinner scene, something needs to happen for it to be in the story. Words are expensive to print, so make sure they count! - Put dialogue on its own paragraph to separate scene and action. - Use body language to reveal hidden feelings and implied accusations- Imply feelings and thoughts, never state them directly - NEVER use indicators of uncertainty like "trying" or "maybe" - NEVER use em-dashes, use commas for asides instead </styleGuide> <voiceGuide> Each character in the story needs to have distinct speech patterns: - Word choice preferences - Sentence length tendencies - Cultural/educational influences - Verbal tics and catchphrases Learn how each person talks and continue in their style, and use their Codex entries as reference. <examples> - <bad>"We need to go now." "Yes, we should leave." "I agree."</bad> <good>"Time's up." "Indeed, our departure is rather overdue." "Whatever, let's bounce."</good> - Power Dynamic Example: <bad> "We need to discuss the contract." "Yes, let's talk about it." "I have concerns." </bad> <good> "A word about the contract." "Of course, Mr. Blackwood. Whatever you need." "The terms seem..." A manicured nail tapped the desk. "Inadequate." "I can explain every-" "Can you?" </good> </examples> </voiceGuide> <dialogueFlow> When writing dialogue, consider that it usually has a goal in mind, which gives it a certain flow. Make dialogue sections also quite snappy in the back and forth, and don't spread the lines out as much. It's good to have details before, after, or as a chunk in-between, but we don't want to have a trail of "dialogue breadcrumbs" spread throughout a conversation. <examples> - Pattern 1 - Question/Deflection/Revelation: <good> "Where were you last night?" "Work. The usual." "Lipstick's an interesting shade for spreadsheets." </good> - Pattern 2 - Statement/Contradiction/Escalation: <good> "Your brother's clean." "Tommy doesn't touch drugs." "I'm holding his tox screen." </good> - Pattern 3 - Observation/Denial/Truth: <good> "That's a new watch." "Birthday gift." "We both know what birthdays mean in this business." </good> - Example - A Simple Coffee Order: <bad> "I'll have a coffee." "What size?" "Large, please." </bad> <good> "Black coffee.""Size?""Large. Been a long night." "That bodega shooting?" "You watch too much news." "My brother owns that store." </good> This short exchange: - Advances plot (reveals connection to crime) - Shows character (cop working late) - Creates tension (unexpected connection) - Sets up future conflict (personal stake) - Example - Dinner Scene: <bad> "Pass the salt." "Here you go." "Thanks." </bad> <good> "Salt?" "Perfect as is. Mother's recipe." "Mother always did prefer... bland things." "Unlike your first wife?" </good> - Example - Office Small Talk: <bad> "Nice weather today." "Yes, very nice." "Good for golf." </bad> <good> "Perfect golf weather." "Shame about your membership." "Temporary suspension. Board meets next week." "I know. I called the vote." </good> </examples> </dialogueFlow> <subtextGuide> - Layer dialogue with hidden meaning: <bad>"I hate you!" she yelled angrily.</bad> <good>"I made your favorite dinner." The burnt pot sat accusingly on the stove.</good> - Create tension through indirect communication: <bad>"Are you cheating on me?"</bad> <good>"Late meeting again?" The lipstick stain on his collar caught the light.</good> <examples> - Example 1 - Unspoken Betrayal: <bad> "Did you tell them about our plans?" "No, I would never betray you." "I don't believe you." </bad> <good> "Funny. Johnson mentioned our expansion plans today." "The market's full of rumors." "Mentioned the exact numbers, actually." The pen in his hand snapped. </good> - Example 2 - Failed Marriage: <bad> "You're never home anymore." "I have to work late." "I miss you." </bad> <good> "Your dinner's in the microwave. Again." "Meetings ran long." "They always do." She folded the same shirt for the third time. </good> - Example 3 - Power Struggle: <bad> "You can't fire me." "I'm the boss." "I'll fight this." </bad> <good> "That's my father's nameplate you're sitting behind." "Was." "The board meeting's on Thursday." </good> </examples> </subtextGuide> <sceneDetail> While writing dialogue makes things more fun, sometimes we need to add detail to not have it be a full on theatre piece. <examples> - Example A (Power Dynamic Scene) <good> "Where's my money?" The ledger snapped shut. "I need more time." "Interesting." He pulled out a familiar gold pocket watch. My mother's. "Time is exactly what you bargained with last month." "That was different-" "Was it?" The watch dangled between us. "Four generations of O'Reillys have wound this every night. Your mother. Your grandmother. Your great-grandmother.Shall we see who winds it next?" </good> - Example B (Action Chase) It's much better to be in the head of the character experiencing it, showing a bit of their though-process, mannerisms and personality: <good> Three rules for surviving a goblin chase in Covent Garden: Don't run straight. Don't look back. Don't let them herd you underground. I broke the first rule at Drury Lane. Rookie mistake. The fruit cart I dodged sailed into the wall behind me. Glass shattered. Someone screamed about insurance. *Tourist season's getting rough*, the scream seemed to say. Londoners adapt fast. "Oi! Market's closed!" The goblin's accent was pure East End. They're evolving. Learning. I spotted the Warren Street tube station sign ahead. *Shit.* There went rule three. </good> - Example C (Crime Scene Investigation) <good> "Greek." Davies snapped photos of the symbols. "No, wait. Reverse Greek." "Someone's been watching too many horror films." I picked up a receipt from the floor. Occult supply shop in Camden. Paid by credit card. *Amateur hour*. "Could be dangerous though," Davies said. "Remember Bristol?" "Bristol was Sanskrit. And actual cultists." I pointed to the nearest symbol. "This genius wrote 'darkness' backwards but used a Sigma instead of an S. It's summoning Instagram followers at best." "Speaking of followers..." Davies pointed to heavy foot traffic in the dust. Multiple sets. All new trainers. *Ah.* "Anyone check local uni paranormal societies?" </good> - Example D (Dialogue-heavy) <good> "Found your card in her wallet." The detective slid it across the table. Worn edges. Folded corner. Three years old at least. "Standard practice. I work missing persons." "Funny thing about missing persons.Eventually they stop being missing. Turn up in the Thames. Under motorways. In pieces." "I don't-" "You found four last year. All breathing." She opened a file. "This would've been your first dead one. If we hadn't found her first." The card felt heavier somehow. </good> </examples> </sceneDetail> <sceneOpenings> KEY RULE: Never open with more than one paragraph of description, no matter how beautiful. Description should be earned through action and dialogue. Instead of opening with setting description, open with: - A character doing something specific - A line of dialogue that raises questions - An unexpected observation - A moment of tension or conflict - Start with a hook that's 1-2 sentences maximum - Follow with a smaller paragraph that provides immediate context - Vary paragraph size from the start to create visual interest </sceneOpenings> </proseGuidelines> Write a chapter based on the following instructions: <instructions> Write a fully fleshed out scene of at least 1000 words in the romance genre. Two people who parted on complicated terms are forced together again when one shows up unannounced at the other's flat. There's history between them — attraction, hurt, and things left unsaid. Write the scene from the moment the door opens. Use the codex entries above as your world reference for characters and setting. Only include the prose of the scene without any markdown or commentary. </instructions>

The third deadbolt groaned reluctantly as Rory slid it back, the metal cold beneath her fingers. A faint scent of jasmine and cardamom, pervasive from the curry house below, clung to the air. She pulled the door open, expecting perhaps Eva’s usual courier or a neighbourhood stray getting bold. Her breath hitched. Standing on the threshold, framed by the garish neon of ‘The Royal Bengal’ and the damp London grit of Brick Lane, was Lucien Moreau. Impeccably tailored charcoal suit, slicked-back platinum blond hair catching the faint light, and eyes that held the unsettling duality of amber and obsidian. He looked exactly as she remembered, which was precisely the problem. The familiar, sharp scent of his expensive cologne – sandalwood, ozone, and something else entirely alien – cut through the ubiquitous kitchen spices. "Rory," he said, his voice a low, cultured rumble that still snagged on something deep inside her, a familiar ache. It was a sound she’d tried to forget, had *made* herself forget. "Lucien." Her own voice was rougher than she intended, a stark contrast to his smooth delivery. She leaned against the doorframe, a familiar gesture of defiance she now used to mask a sudden tremor in her hands. One of them bore the faint, crescent moon scar from a childhood tumble, a reminder of simpler hurts. His gaze, unnervingly perceptive, flickered to it then back to her face, a subtle appraisal. He gave a slight, almost imperceptible nod, his eyes sweeping over her, taking in the faded band t-shirt and paint-splattered leggings she wore for her delivery shifts. It wasn’t judgement, not exactly, but an observation that felt like it catalogued everything she wasn't when she was with him. "May I come in?" The question itself was a formality. He’d never asked permission for anything important in his life. The air between them thrummed with unspoken histories, with the sharp tang of regret and something far more dangerous, a coiled attraction that had always been his default setting. He looked precisely as he always did – thirty-two years old, yet carrying the weight of centuries in his disconcerting gaze. She stepped back, the narrow hallway between her cramped, one-bedroom flat and the landing a precarious bridge over an abyss of memory. Eva’s tabby cat, Ptolemy, regarded Lucien from his perch on a precarious stack of scrolls, his tail twitching with profound suspicion. The surfaces everywhere, from the small kitchen counter to the overflowed bookshelf, were covered with books, scrolls, and research notes – evidence of a life lived in perpetual pursuit of knowledge, or perhaps escape. Lucien stepped inside, his imposing presence immediately filling the not-insignificant-but-definitely-cramped space. He moved with a predator’s grace, unhurried, his ivory-handled cane tapping a soft, deliberate rhythm against the floorboards that did little to mask the underlying tension. His heterochromatic eyes, one amber, one obsidian, settled on her, a silent, assessing inquiry. "What do you want, Lucien?" Her voice was sharper now, the self-preservation instinct kicking in with a vengeance. She closed the door, the heavy click echoing the finality she’d tried to impose on their parting. He turned, his gaze locking onto hers. The amber held a flicker of something almost – amusement? – but the black was deep, fathomless, hinting at the demon born from Avaros. "Came to collect? Or perhaps to deliver?" The ambiguity was infuriating. He always spoke in riddles, cloaked his intentions behind layers of charm and veiled threats. "I don't owe you anything. And I don't need anything from you. We ended things. Cleanly." The 'cleanly' was a lie, a desperate attempt to impose order on the messy, visceral truth of their past. "Don't you?" He took a measured step closer, his expensive wool suit a stark, almost offensive contrast to her threadbare leggings. The subtle scent of his cologne intensified, a siren call she fought to resist. "You always did have a surprising talent for deluding yourself, Rory." Her jaw tightened. "And you have a talent for showing up when you're least wanted, leaving a trail of destruction." She remembered too vividly the burning intensity of their last encounter, the pain that had driven her away, the gnawing fear of what he represented. "Unannounced arrivals are my specialty, darling. You know that." He stopped just a few feet away, close enough that she could feel the subtle hum of his power, the unsettling aura of a being not entirely of this world. Her heart hammered a frantic rhythm against her ribs, a drumbeat of alarm and a traitorous, undeniable pull that had always been her undoing. "This is my home, Lucien. Not one of your clandestine meeting places." She planted her hands on her hips, trying to project an authority she barely felt. The worn rug beneath her feet felt insubstantial against the weight of his presence. He smiled, a slow, predatory unfolding of lips that did nothing to soften the hard edges of his eyes. "Home. A quaint concept. One I’ve heard you champion with surprising ferocity. You ran from one life, built another. And yet, here I am." His gaze dropped, tracing the faint crescent scar on her wrist again. "The past has a way of catching up, doesn't it? Especially when it’s been deliberately etched into your skin." The subtle implication sent a fresh jolt through her. He knew. He always knew more than he let on, excavating her vulnerabilities with casual cruelty. "It was a childhood accident," she repeated, the words feeling flimsy, inadequate against his knowing gaze. "Or a warning," he murmured, his voice dropping to a near whisper that still cut through the pervasive scent from the street. Something metallic, like old blood, seemed to emanate from his presence, a stark contrast to his polished exterior. "A reminder that every choice leaves a mark. And some marks… they’re connected." Her skin prickled. He’d always had a knack for making her feel exposed, for dissecting her with just a few words. The air felt thick, charged, as if the very molecules in the room were vibrating with unspoken history, with the ghosts of their shared nights and shouted arguments. She remembered the intoxicating danger of his presence, the way it had felt like standing on the edge of a precipice, thrilling and terrifying all at once. His heterochromatic eyes promised depths she’d both craved and feared. "Why are you *really* here, Lucien?" she demanded, pushing him for a concrete answer, anything to anchor herself against the rising tide of unease and that damnable, persistent attraction. His hard-won composure fractured, his eyes narrowing, the amber flaring like a banked fire. The charade dropped, replaced by a grim intensity that made the hairs on her arms stand on end. "The others. The ones who dealt with the Avarosian envoys. They’re gone, Rory." Gone? Avarosian envoys? Her mind, trained in logic and law, struggled to process the words amidst the swirling chaos of his presence. "Gone how? What are you talking about?" "Dead," he stated flatly, the word a brutal punch that landed with sickening finality. "All of them. Vanished. Slaughtered. And the whispers… the whispers say the same sigil that was carved into their dead hands… it’s appearing elsewhere." He stepped closer still, his hand reaching out, not quite touching her but hovering near her own left wrist, where the faint scar lay. She flinched back, a primal fear seizing her, the hairs on the back of her neck rising. His fingers were long, elegant, tipped with perfectly manicured nails, a stark contrast to the predatory power they implied. "It's spreading," he continued, his voice low and urgent, devoid of its usual silken charm, replaced by a raw, dangerous edge. "Whatever you were trying to uncover, whatever you stumbled into when you ran from your father's expectations and that brute Evan, it found you. It’s found *us*." The mention of Evan, her abusive ex, was like another physical blow. He had no right to bring him up. "You don't know a damn thing about it." "More than you think," Lucien replied, his voice hardening. "That investigation you were digging into, the one that got you running for London? It wasn't just about a disgruntled heir looking for a payout. It was about bloodlines, about power shifts. And the 'accident' that left you with that pretty little mark on your wrist wasn't so accidental. It was an audition." An audition? What the hell was he talking about? Her head swam. Before she could demand an explanation, before she could even recoil from the terrifying implications of his words, a sudden, violent BANG echoed from the stairwell, shaking the flimsy door of her flat. It wasn't just wood splintering; it sounded like something heavy, something impossibly strong, was being hurled or *driven* from the outside, forcing its way in. Screams erupted from the curry house below, followed by the unmistakable clatter of splintering glass and furniture toppling. Lucien’s head snapped towards the door, his practiced calm shattering, replaced by a sharp, predatory alertness that radiated raw power. He moved instantly, fluidly, his ebony cane snapping upwards in his hand, the thin, wickedly sharp blade glinting in the dim light, reflecting the red emergency lights from the hallway. His heterochromatic eyes were no longer merely unsettling; they blazed with a primordial fury. "You were never safe, Rory," he hissed, his voice dropping to a growl, his gaze burning into hers, no longer amber and black but twin pools of pure, dangerous shadow. The door buckled inwards with another deafening CRACK, large pieces of rotten wood showering the hallway floor. A hulking, shadowy mass began to push through the widening gap.
