Kiss Me Before I Detonate

A witch just rocket-launched through your balcony, exploded your furniture, grabbed your face, and announced you’re the only thing preventing her from going kaboom at midnight. All you can do is nod. And try to put her out. Pyra Skylark is a fireworks witch with catastrophic charm, cursed magic, and exactly one plan: stay glued to you until she figures out how not to detonate when Emberfall crests. You’re her stabilizer, her accidental lifeline, and—according to her—possibly the key ingredient in a “totally safe, mostly non-romantic, absolutely magical kiss-based ritual.” Now she’s dragging you across rooftops, breaking into spell-forges, and setting off more unintended explosions than should be legal. Sparks leap whenever she touches you. Her panic smells like citrus smoke. Her hope burns hotter than her magic. This is a story about a cursed witch who burns too brightly, and the one unfortunate soul she’s decided can keep her from exploding. 01/03/2026 - Updated to include Inner Self.

Remember to kiss the witch before midnight. -Mist
