Chapter 2 of my Scyllinoë enemies to lovers longfic is now live! You can check it here:
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Summary:
Taking a deep, steadying breath, she raises the Pearl to eye level and declares in the same tone Madame Circe did, the words leaving her lips lips as easy as breathing, “May your ambitions drown.”
The effect is imminent.
Author notes:
*kisses the brick very very tenderly ands throws it like i’m a baseball picther aiming for a home run before hiding away under my bed*

When Circe asks Melinoë to curse one of Scylla’s Pearls so that she may ease her descents into the Underworld, she is only too happy to oblige.
The fewer obstacles between her and Chronos, the better. All the more so if said obstacles consist of a band of Sirens led by an obnoxiously annoying sea monster with delusions of grandeur who just won’t shut up. It is a no-lose situation no matter how she looks at it, not to mention both a minor prophecy and a petition from a fellow witch whom she has always looked up to, so the words leave her lips as easy as breathing.
And then, everything goes to hell.
—OR—
What if Circe had been just the slightest bit more persuasive when she asked Melinoë to curse Scylla.
“Y/N, when are you going to settle down? Meet someone nice? Bring them to dinner!” Mrs. L/N asks across the dining table. Y/N’s aunt’s wineglass pauses on its path to her painted lips. The woman narrows her eyes at her sister.
“That’s quite enough from you. Let the girl be. She’ll bring someone home when she is ready.” Y/N’s mom huffs softly and pointedly turns away. Y/N chuckles softly before putting her napkin on the plate and rising, collecting the porcelain.
“You two are too much… I actually have to head out. To visit someone, actually.” The announcement has both Mrs. L/N and Y/N’s aunt raising their eyebrows and blinking like the words hadn’t fully settled. Y/N turns and puts her plate in the dish washer, discarding the square cloth in the basket on the counter that holds other finished napkins.Â
She gives a little wave paired with a coy smile and slinks out the door, hearing the exclaimed words of her maternal family through the sealed wood.
“WHAT?!” Her aunt finally breaks the shocked silence.
“Y/N L/N! WHO IS THIS MAN?! IT BETTER NOT BE A CRIMINAL!”

He is a villain by the devil's law
He is a killer just for fun, fun, fun, fun
That man's a snitch and unpredictable
He's got no conscience, he got none, none, none, none
All I know, should've let go, but no
'Cause he's a bad boy with a tainted heart
And even I know this ain't smart

Zeno is dressed in white. Not the normal white suit, no. This time its a jumpsuit. A black patch over his left chest with a white number embroidered on the little cloth rectangle. Metal cuffs are enclosed around his wrists tightly, the connecting chain ringed around his narrow waist and attached to the cuffs on his ankles as well.Â
He rolls his neck as he’s led by 5 armed guards-3 to the front, 2 following behind-and in the harsh, sterile white light, the scar that encircles his throat peeks out from the collar of the jumpsuit.Â
As his eyes, a cool gray with flecks of blue, refocus forward, his lips pull into a smirk that shows just a hint of teeth…
~~~
But mama I'm in love with a criminal
And this type of love isn't rational, it's physical
Mama please don't cry, I will be alright
All reason aside I just can't deny, I love that guy
~~~
Y/N sits at the metal table in the visitation room. The one with said table and matching stainless steel chairs bolted to the concrete floor. Her posture is rigid. Spine straight as she holds a small wrapped present in her lap. As the outside reader beeps and the reinforced door swings open, Y/N and Zeno’s eyes meet, as if the guards aren’t present or giving Zeno commands.Â
Zeno raises his chin at Y/N in acknowledgement.Â
“There she is… My girl…” He purrs, the sound coiling around the room like a pale serpent.Â
“Keep your hands to yourself. If I, or any of my boys, see you even reach for her, the visit will be cut short and you will be returned to your cell.” The lead guard barks out. Zeno just rolls his eyes with a carefree smirk.
“Yes, yes, of course… You say the same thing every time, even though I have never given you a reason to send me back early.” He settles into the seat across from Y/N, eyes sparkling.
“You came…” He whispers in disbelief.
“I did…” She confirms with a slow nod.
“I was worried your family dinner would keep you past visiting hours…”
Y/N leans forward and smiles.
“Nothing could keep me from coming to see you, Z."

megumi could catch a glimpse of you in each and every reflection, and not just the ones he casted upon cold stretches of water or in pieces of glass laying across asphalt – and that if you looked closely, were smeared in blood – but also in patches of light scattered like a mosaic, the mosaic of your face, and he would hate them the most, because he was slowly forgetting how to assemble the jigsaw.
in his memory, you were made of single puzzle pieces of whom he could not find the right interlock. he could still remember the exact number of your moles, but not where they dotted your skin as marbles dispersed on dry sand. the smell of your hair still lingered in his memory, but not the hidden nuances that revealed themselves only when sunlight reflected on it. and some pieces were missing altogether. for instance, he never would have believed that, someday, he would have been unable to recall the sound that your laugh made when it echoed in hollow spaces; strangely, the peculiar sighs you made when you could not inhale deeply was engraved in his brain, and it came flooding back when he caught himself doing the same.
you lived in the gestures he had observed for years and that he unconsciously made his own. the idioms that you used to say, which he adopted and naturally found their way in his discourses. the facial expressions you used to make that he mirrored, and he would pretend to be annoyed when someone pointed it out.
he grew accustomed to the dark. reflections waning as the sun sat and a new piece missing by the time it rose again. he knew the pillow would not smell like you anymore the following day. that the clothes you left on the floor lacked the warmth your body once gave them. your plants did not die, only because he watered them just to try and catch that glimpse of you doing the same.
and megumi knew that trying to grasp them would be useless. he had to come to terms with the fact that, slowly but surely, your reflection was going to slip through his fingers entirely. the puzzle was never meant to be solved. all that was going to remain was megumi, a mosaic of the people he once loved.
These are some beautiful people who I think you should see...

Hello, I’m Lilith (or Lili), and somehow, you’ve found your way into my little pocket of the night sky.
This is where soft starlight and sharp edges coexist… where stories drift between tender and unsettling, and love rarely arrives without consequences.
I write characters who linger a little too long, who look a little too closely, who love in ways that feel like gravity rather than choice. If you enjoy devotion with teeth, power wrapped in silk, and the kind of tension that hums just beneath the surface… you’ll feel right at home here.
So settle in. The stars are bright tonight, and they have a habit of watching...
