Summary
When trying to catch a bus to the School of Art at the University of Washington, Merry comes across a box gifted to her that contains first-edition copies of Tess of the d'Urbervilles. In her confusion, Lyra catches her in the bus stop and strikes up a conversation, eventually ending with them agreeing to sell the book gift to fund each other. Such a gesture leads to Merry slowly coming out of her shell, while Lyra awaits someone who can rock her boat hard enough that she can feel it.
Set in the same universe as my dark romance satire and serves as a continuation of sorts to the short story "Tess of the Bus Stop".
Partially inspired by Love Live! Sunshine!!Series

Summary
While practicing the piano in preparation for their mutual enrollment into Yale School of Music come fall, Anairis and Deneen's shared attempts to get in touch with other former Nusan Prep students leads to a chance encounter with none other than the infamous gramophone guy himself - the man who had pants that were, to quote Deneen herself, "on freaking fire".
Small piece dedicated to mock dark romance's "revenge romance" trope. Technically not part of the original twenty 1000-word short stories, though it is a continuation of "Devils in My Speakers" that is set a few weeks after the documentary went live.

Summary
A series of short stories created as part of an exercise in writing fight scene choreography. Most of these don't really have a plot, though a few are directly related to past works on my account.
Title is named after the boss theme for the game Iji, though that game has no inspiration on any of the stories in this set.

Summary
A series of drabbles I've written to lampoon dark romance tropes I missed during the first go-around, be it from actual dark romance novels or some other situations I've noticed consistently happen in my dark romance AI roleplays.
Note that all of these take place in the same universe as the rest of the collection and shares characters with several short stories.

Summary
Following the syphilis outbreak that has ravaged the Wine and Women Council, a few of its members have decided to go on one last hedonistic rush before they (think they will) inevitably die. As a result of this spree of debauchery, America now finds itself with a nation-wide syphilis outbreak, of which a certain President of the United States is forced to discuss during the 2017 State of the Union Address to start off his second term.
Technically a continuation of "Wine, Women, and Syphilis", set a few months after that story's events. Serves as the grand finale for my entire dark romance satire collection.

Summary
In the islands surrounding Rhode Island, there is a secret society where women are taken and kept as playthings. Unfortunately, said secret society never seems to take into account the biomedical problems behind that arrangement.
(Caution: this story contains brief, but graphic depictions of secondary syphilis victims. If you're easily squeamish, I strongly suggest you don't look the disease up.)

Summary
After finding out that her father secretly sold her to the company town's CEO over a stupidly large gambling debt, Gloria enlists her girlfriend and fellow fashion boutique worker, Esther, to find a way out of the mess without becoming his unwilling wife. Thankfully, patriarchy has a number of outdated concepts that she quickly exploits to ensure a clean getaway... and hopefully something to laugh at before they leave Texas for good.
Heavily inspired by the infamous "sold to the mafia/One Direction" trope. Title is a reference to the manga "My Dress-Up Darling", though that manga has no influence on the plot itself.

Summary
Brandon wishes to have someone look after his sister, Glyndon, while he's off doing some sort of business abroad, and has gathered his four best friends to choose who's up for the job. How he never figured out that Natalie is the perfect woman for this task is something the world will never know.
Heavily inspired by countless "brother's best friend" dark romance novels, though there is no specific dark romance novel that inspired it.

Summary
On the days after graduation from a high school in New Haven, CT, Deneen Kelly provides her testimony as part of a documentary by Anairis Stallman about the incident that spelled the end of Nusan Prep, formerly one of the most prestigious elite high schools in America. Long story short, it started because someone hated a song that the boys routinely used to set the mood.
Heavily inspired by the book Corrupt by Penelope Douglas and the Boatmurdered LP of Dwarf Fortress.

Summary
After months of trying to convince her beloved seamstress of a lesbian girlfriend to move out of the crumbling manor she'd inherited from her grandmother (in a move that she thinks was a scam in disguise), Olivia finally finds a perfect excuse in the form of an enigmatic vigilante and hacker hidden in her walls... or rather, what was left of his rotting corpse after he got stuck in the walls and starved to death.
Heavily inspired by Haunting Adeline by H. D. Carlton. The wall corpse concept is partially inspired by the game World of Horror, specifically the mystery titled "Alarming Account of Abnormal Arms".

Summary
A sound designer and part-time YouTuber covering songs with her guitar heads down to Millennium Park with her girlfriend of one year to celebrate the second anniversary of her channel the way she does best. Unfortunately, a man who somehow managed to not take a rejection she gave him back in middle school has other ideas that are frankly completely detached from reality.
Heavily inspired by the boudoir photo shoot from Twisted Love by Ana Huang, with elements of Sora and Sham from the game sora by Orange_Juice incorporated into Bryn and Saori's respective characters.

Summary
After days of constant trekking across the United States of America in search of the elusive Alheira de Vinhais sausage from Portugal, a hyperactive playwright from Meridian, Idaho meets the "final test" of her quest: a man who attempts to stake his claim on her by roleplaying as a mafia boss, which he thinks is what will make women swoon over him. Now, if only he actually knows how to speak Italian...
Inspired by the Cosa Nostra subgenre of mafia dark romance. Has nothing to do with Sausage Party despite the large number of sausage jokes within the story.

Summary
Jaxon wishes to gift Merry, a college student from the School of Art at the University of Washington (as it's known back in 2013), a full box set of first-edition copies of Tess of the d'Urbervilles, in the hopes that he could enjoy the beauty that comes from her look of gratitude. He probably should've picked a different book gift, in retrospect.
Inspired by the Tess of the d'Urbervilles gift in Fifty Shades of Grey, with elements taken from the "catching Ruby Kurosawa" scene in the Love Live! Sunshine!! anime.

Summary
A timelapse of a supermarket clerk's obsession as it develops over seven months, from what he thinks is love at first sight to what is definitely the death knell to his life. All of this over a woman twice his age who's already dating another woman and isn't even into men, no less.
Intended to be a deconstruction of the plot structure of a dark romance's prologue, mocking the way the plot is set up in either the prologue (if the book has one) or the first few chapters until the male lead's establishment in the story. It's less comedic than my other 1000-word satirical short stories before it as a result.

Summary
An easy morning in the wake of Lucy's second birthday (well, second birthday after Megan Borland adopted Lucy and Allie Connor began reworking her remote job's organization to give her an excuse to fund Megan's motherhood) midway through 2015 quickly turns into chaos when one of Allie's former business partners decide that Lucy is in dire need of a father, and he should be one.
Alternatively, this is what happens when you get tired of causing dark romance AI roleplay plots to devolve into pandemonium by including a child into the mix, and subsequently decide to write a 1000-word short story mocking the sheer destabilization factor of inserted children.

Summary
A manager who was swamped with complaints by so many of his underlings and other men working in the main headquarters of Omniphar Enterprises, housed in Baltimore, Maryland, decides to confront the CEO and get him to consider a change in organizational structure.
Alternatively, this is what happens when you constantly derail office-centric dark romance AI roleplays by having the female lead resign and/or attempt to get the male lead to shape up and restructure the org to avoid contact with other men so he doesn't get jealous, and decide to write a 1000-word short story about that very same derailment path.

Summary

Summary
A fashionista real estate agent's diner date night with her lesbian traceuse girlfriend is interrupted when the most socially volatile woman in all of America suddenly makes an appearance.
Partly inspired by Y/N slander, though this work is a more deconstructive take on Y/N self-insert fanfiction that is derived from analyses on the subject and general experience with dark romance as a genre.
