[Story One: My Archrival Is Actually a Dragon]

The only thing going for the mage Eliza's archrival, apart from his exceptionally good looks, is... nothing.

He's arrogant, acts strangely, and picks fights with her at the drop of a hat, giving her no end of headaches.

Fortunately, she finds a chance to get back at him. When she's assigned to investigate a dragon, she takes the opportunity to shove her archrival into the abyss and leave him to be devoured.

-

On the day of the decisive battle, she joins the main force in their assault on the evil dragon.

The good news: She makes it into the abyss without a hitch.

The bad news: Her archrival is alive and thriving down there.

“Long time no see, Eliza.”

Uh... Can someone tell her why black-and-red scales cover the area around her archrival's V-line?

[Story Two: My Husband Is Actually a Tentacle Monster]

Theme: Love and selfhood.
