#AITA for Setting Up A Fake Wedding Agency?

My 3 friends & I began sabotaging the weddings of our former high school rivals by creating a fake wedding agency. Once a wedding went to shambles, we ran like hell & skipped town.

TL;DR #AITA or is karma really that bitch?

AITA for falling in love with my client?

Orpheus here. Hermes (my-not-dad) said I had to defend this girl called Eurydice to obtain my godhood. Apparently she committed suicide. And apparently that’s illegal?

And her godly revenge plan is super hot? Is this bad?

Black Swan meets Miranda Presley, Rebekah Harkness was the maddest woman a town has ever seen. But were the rumors steeped in truth? Or was Rebekah a strong-willed woman in a patriarchal society?

Mona Elliott: You're a vampire, wow. Can you tell me how it happened?

Her Aunt Gwen: Well, you see, it's a very long, tragic story

Mona: What's the worst that can happen telling me??

You know that feeling when your dad gives you a magical war eagle but the new hire bungles the whole operation and now you both have wings and your dad might actually end you if you can’t get rid of them?

No? Just Ikaros then?

Dear Sara,
Thank you for wasting my time with your query for THE PIRATE, THE PRINCESS, AND JOHN. For future reference, please note that I'm only open to multi-POV YA fantasy where the sapphic childhood-besties-turned-lovers don't get a happily-ever-after.
Side note: A scorned ghost pirate trapped inside the head of a closeted princess until they both learn to help each other come out? How original.
Regrets,
Princess Mira

Sara,
Thank you for considering me for the most torturously feel-good, insufferably hopeful-even-in-its-bleakest-moments novel I've ever had the displeasure of reading. I suggest you jump ship on writing and take on a more practical hobby like swashbuckling, rum drinking, or breaking the curse that has me stuck inside the head of this whiny princess (thanks for that, by the way).

Hi Sara,
Thank you so much for your query for THE PIRATE, THE PRINCESS, AND JOHN. While I truly admired the 82,000 word count, non-Western fantasy setting, and LGBTQ+ representation, unfortunately, I will have to pass. I would, however, like to offer a minor suggestion to change the title to THE PIRATE, THE PRINCESS, AND JOHANNA, as I believe this better reflects the titular character's gender identity.
Best wishes,
Johanna

Ms. Duran,
The empire has scrupulously reviewed your query for THE PIRATE, THE PRINCESS, AND JOHN, and has found that beneath the lighthearted, adventurous story of queer joy and acceptance is a truly blasphemous critique of the colonization of the Global South. We will be passing, but please do keep us in mind for any future projects featuring white, male, cis-het protagonists, preferably in settings inspired by medieval Europe.
Regards,
General Genovese

AITA for going after the girl i ghosted? I (26F) dated this amazing girl in my teens. But then I got some personal ne3ws and I couldn't handle it so I moved across an ocean and never returned her calls. Cut to now and she's smashing glass ceilings in her profession and I've been assigned to report on her. And I kind of realized I'm still in love with her. WIBTA if I, like, flirted with her... a LOT?"
