THE UNDERSTUDY In the glamorous opera world, Serafina and Antonina are bound together by rivalry and a long list of secrets, including their own affair. Serafina’s devotion forces her to confront how far she is willing to go for Antonina and what she is willing to lose. #Questpit #Q #A #LF #HR

Serafina Angelo is a brilliant student at an elite music conservatory, tormented by her relentless pursuit of perfection. When her school is given the rare opportunity to perform at a prestigious opera house, Serafina is certain the lead role is hers and will launch her career. Until Antonina Vitale arrives. When she is cast as the lead and Serafina as her understudy, Serafina is devastated. Yet she feels drawn to her new classmate, developing an all-consuming obsession with Antonina that blurs the lines between envy and affection that may destroy them both.

For those who enjoy the complex characters of Elena Ferrante’s My Brillliant Friend, the intense sapphic relationships in The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden and Sunburn by Chloe Michelle Howarth, obsessive perfectionist musicians, explorations of fame, misogyny, class and all-consuming lesbian desire.

Can such a thing as obsession, that virulent hunger that nags at the stitching between mind and soul, ever be fully satisfied? Is the idée fixe something that one can outgrow, or does that madness just become more implacable?

Serafina was not sure if it was something that could ever be satiated. Obsession was, she thought, quite violent—a desire so formless and volatile it could be nothing more than a doomed passion.

The stroke of her fountain pen was the only sound in the dim library, and the flickering candles illuminated amber, casting long shadows on the dusty bookshelves. It was one in the morning. She hadn’t slept for two days, but she snuck in to work on her essay about Hector Berlioz, a French composer from the Romantic period.

Snippets:

His hunger transcends anything as simple as lust. A perfect replica of my own.
Our appetite goes beyond the physical. What we starve for is not the body, but the soul.
Spirits, which I'm certain, have known each other for millennia—longing and finding one another, again and again against all odds.
Nothing can come between what is immaterial.
Even less so when it is destined
A divine homecoming.
He is the vessel of my existence. The missing half that completes me. There is no him without me. And without him, there is no me.
-
And how do I tell him I'd gladly crawl beneath his armor, inside his clothes and past his skin? Fight myself through sinews and bone, every ligament and essence that makes him him, and live on solely to keep his soul free of any pain?
Caretaker of his soul for eternity.
-
A touch, as soft as a feather.
The dull edges of fingernails.
Deliberate and as exquisitely slow as molasses.
I arch into these luxuries like a cat wanting for more.
Hum at the whispery strokes as they comb through my scalp, down my hair, in pursuit of my jaw and finally my décolleté.
I know it's him.
Scent him like a vampire would sweet blood.

There are a lot of things you *should* be doing today. Write today. When a writer writes, they are being kind to their future self. They are defeating the blank page and its silences. They are shaping a work they can fix later. Type harder. #writingcommunity #booksky #writingmore
