Publishing's affair with fan fiction has a new star couple: Dramione

22-07-2025

If you look at two of this summer's best-selling romantasy novels, you may think you're seeing double. The covers of 'Rose in Chains' by Julie Soto and 'The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy' by Brigitte Knightley are adorned with strikingly similar couples: Each has a silver-haired man with chiseled cheekbones and a woman with curly brown hair, an intense stare and an unmistakable aura of competence. The resemblance between the books is anything but passing. The covers, both featuring art by Nikita Jobson, are a deliberate wink to the stories' shared origins in the Harry Potter fandom and Dramione fan fiction.

Michelle Obama wishes a happy 64th birthday to ‘the coolest guy I know'

Michelle Obama wished a happy birthday to the 'coolest' man she knows. Fortunately for Barack Obama, the former first lady was referring to him. 'Happy birthday to my love, my best friend, my everything! @BarackObama, even after all these years, you're still the coolest guy I know,' she wrote on Instagram Monday night. The 44th president turned 64 on Monday, and thanked his wife and her 57 million Instagram users for their birthday wishes. 'Love you, Miche! And thanks everybody for all the birthday wishes,' the two-term commander-in-chief responded. His 61-year-old wife posted the same message on her Instagram Story, though that post was accompanied by audio of Stevie Wonder singing his 1980 song 'Happy Birthday.' She recently shut down rumors that she and her husband of nearly 33 years were having marital problems because gossips don't see a lot of photos of them together these days. 'It's like, 'OK, so we don't Instagram every minute of our lives. We are 60,' she told NPR's 'Wild Card' podcast. 'We're 60, y'all. You just are not gonna know what we're doing every minute of the day.' _____
