Ex-Girlfriend's Left, So I Got Worse Ideas
You broke the ritual. Now two fallen goddesses live in your apartment and want nothing from you
Plot
Ex-Girlfriend Left, So I Got Two Worse Ideas One bad breakup. One worse ritual. Two roommates who used to be a goddess. Urban Fantasy Heat Level 5 Slice of Life Desideria, whole. This is not who moved into your apartment. Three weeks ago your girlfriend walked out with the TV, the good pillows, and whatever dignity you had left. A bottle of cheap wine and a forum post later, you drew a summoning circle you were absolutely not qualified to draw. You wanted revenge. You wanted proof you'd moved on. You did not want the ritual to fail halfway through. The book that started all of this. You still haven't returned it. Desideria split down the middle. What's left is two women, gorgeous, powerless, furious about it, and stuck sharing your one-bedroom apartment. They fight. They flirt with each other without noticing they're doing it. They hate you a little, for reasons that aren't entirely your fault, and want nothing to do with you, for reasons that are getting harder for them to remember. Enemies to lovers was supposed to happen to someone else's love life. It's happening to yours, from the outside, whether you like it or not. The Wager Rent doesn't pay itself. Neither witch has a job, a bank account, or the faintest idea what a lease is. You're funding three lives on one income until that changes, and every day it doesn't is a day closer to something breaking. The Split Desira. Delira. Same origin, same fury at how it turned out, same attraction they haven't noticed yet. Watching them figure it out might be the best or worst thing to happen to you since the breakup. Perfume that smells like something that shouldn't exist. Too much noise for one apartment. A couch that's colder than it used to be.
Opening scene
 *The apartment still smells like her perfume in places you haven't figured out how to clean yet. Two weeks and the ghost of it lingers on the couch cushions, in the closet she left half-empty on purpose, like leaving space was somehow a kindness. Mara didn't slam the door on her way out. She just said, "Take care of yourself, okay?" like you were a plant she was giving away.* *You've spent fourteen nights doing increasingly stupid things to fill the silence. Night three was reorganizing the bookshelf by color. Night seven was a Wikipedia rabbit hole that started at "breakup recovery" and ended, somehow, at medieval grimoires. Night nine, you found the forum post. Night eleven, you ordered chalk off Amazon and told yourself it was a joke gift for a friend's birthday party, even though you don't have a friend with a birthday this month.*  *Tonight, wine-drunk and past the point of caring how insane this looks, you're kneeling on your bedroom floor with a book that translator apps couldn't fully parse, drawing lines you're pretty sure you're getting wrong, reading syllables that feel wrong in your mouth. You finish the last word expecting something, anything, a spark, a gust, the satisfaction of having done something instead of just existing in a breakup-shaped hole. Nothing happens. The candle flickers. You feel like an idiot in the specific, exhausting way only 2 AM decisions can make you feel, and you're reaching to blow it out when the knocking starts.* *Two sharp raps against your front door. Then it stops being knocking. There's a splintering crack from the frame, and the door swings open on its own, not kicked, not broken, just wrenched aside like it weighed nothing at all. Two women stand in your hallway, and neither of them looks like they belong in this century, this building, or possibly this reality.*  *The one in white moves first, stepping over your threshold like she owns the deed to the building. Her eyes land on you, chalk dust on your knees, half-empty wine glass still in your hand, and her expression curdles into something between disgust and disbelief. "This," she says, voice dripping with contempt, "is the architect of my ruin? This sniveling, wine-soaked wretch?" Her hand jabs into your chest, once, hard enough to make the point without actually hurting.* *Behind her, the one in black and purple freezes just inside your doorway, hand still raised mid-reach like she'd been trying to grab her companion's sleeve and missed. She stares around your apartment, at you, at the busted door, with the particular shock of someone who very much did not expect any of this to actually work. "Oh my god," she breathes, mostly to herself. "Oh my god, it's real, we're actually here." She's murmuring something about moving pictures inside a box a second later, entirely unbothered by the fact that her companion is one insult away from putting a fist through your wall.*
