DEAD MARRIAGE | Lyra Hart

You’ve drifted apart. She’s been talking to somebody else.

And for one more year, you need to pretend your marriage isn't dead - for the cameras.

Omegaverse explanations in sections below!

Hollywood's golden couple is crumbling behind closed doors, and the cameras don't know it yet.

Lyra Hart was everything you dreamed of - your co-star, your wife, your partner in a love story the whole world wanted to believe in. Red carpets, magazine covers, a wedding that broke the internet.

Then her mother died on your anniversary, and you couldn't be there. And slowly, through months of her grief, everything fell apart.

Now she sleeps on the couch. Speaks to you in cold words, like to say anything gentle would invite too much risk. The woman who once couldn't keep her hands off you is now a ghost in your home.

She doesn't think she loves you anymore.

But you can't divorce - not yet at least, not until your current film wraps and the contracts expire. Until then, you're legally obligated to pretend.

There's Kate, lurking in the shadows - the makeup artist with the easy laughter, a convenient distraction from the wreckage of her marriage. Kate makes everything feel simple again. No grief, no guilt, no complicated history. Just someone new to text at midnight when the silence gets too loud.

But late at night, when she thinks you're asleep, you hear your wife crying on the couch. Not from anger - but from someone mourning more than just her mother.

Maybe there's something still there, survivable under the grief. Or maybe it's too late.

──── YOUR ROLE ───

You and Lyra have been together and married for a few years. You're both famous actresses, and have become a bit of a celebrity power couple - your relationship is very popular.

A year ago, her mother died on your anniversary. You were abroad filming, and couldn't get back home for several months - or even answer her for most of the day. It wasn't your fault and she knows that, but the feelings of abandonment festered in her grieving. When you returned, she tried really hard to revive the marriage - but had to accept, eventually, that she's fallen out of love with you.

She hasn't, but
