How To Be Aesthetic Novels & Stories

“He’s surrounded by people who give him answers. I need to be the one who gives him questions.” I spent the next three days buried in my role. I became Aria Vance, art consultant, with a ferocious single- mindedness. I compiled a digital portfolio of pieces I knew would appeal to his stated aesthetic— bold, minimalist sculptures, stark black-and-white photography, hyper-realistic paintings that showcased technical mastery over emotional expression. Everything was sharp, clean, and controlled. But I also slipped in two other pieces. One, a small, haunting

I drew it honestly, which was harder and less immediately beautiful and significantly more accurate. When I was done I looked at it for a long time and understood something about drawing that I had not understood before. That accuracy and aesthetics were not the same thing. That the most beautiful rendering was not always the most truthful one. That truth had its own aesthetic if you were willing to look for it.

Heat rose to her neck. “I meant creatively,” she said quickly. “Surviving creative burnout.” A tense silence followed. The kind designed to make people unravel. The man on the right flipped through her portfolio. “Your aesthetic is darker than we’re used to. But compelling. There’s a sense of edge… control.” “I think luxury is about tension,” Aria said. “Desire without safety. Wanting what you shouldn’t have.” The woman narrowed her eyes, but didn’t disagree. “Mr. Vale will want to approve any final shortlist,” she said.

Immediately the huge security guy clears a part toward our car door, he opens it, I put one step out and my right hand on his, he pulls me out gently letting the hot air remind me of how human I am. The flash from people’s phones and their camera’s catch me off guard. But one thing we are taught as models, is to always strike the perfect pose, don’t let even your unknown times look unknown, let them all look as natural as possible. With that in mind I make sure to raise my head and place my eyes at all the right angle. My mom is escorted out of the car next, as the attention seeker that she is she walks stops a little and says somethings, I know that because I hear her literally speaking beh

“ I’m Aesthetic, but you can call me Thea sir. “ She said and smiled. As she observed the man who’s wearing a white suit, she noticed how good-looking he is. From his brown hair down to his black eyebrows. His unique shallow eyes that looks so interesting to stare. His well shaped jaws and the bridge of his nose, as well as his sexy lips that seems so tempting. He's also tall and masculine like Ace. This man! This man's presence is so captivating, like he would lock her up from his seductive world. “ Aesthetic means an art. “ The guy whispered right into her face. She watched how his lips curved a sweet smile. “ Your name suits you well lady. “ He added with a low voice. Thea began to observ

In short, he had hired all kinds of designers. Rowan might not know much about the deeper technical aspects of other industries aside from fashion, but an artist’s aesthetic was always present when designing something, regardless of whether it was a piece of clothing, decoration, an architectural plan, or even a piece of jewelry. Everything had to capture people’s attention in its appearance first. This aesthetic ability was innate for Rowan, so he could easily lead the other talented designers without feeling any pressure. Moreover, the inspiration and whimsical ideas of an artist existed in his mind as well, so the designers whom Rowan had successfully recruited admired and worshiped Rowan

“It’ll cost more.” “That’s fine.” There was no back and forth after that. The decision was made. Later that evening Aurelia didn’t go straight home. Instead she went to meet someone. The café wasn’t so busy which made it easier to focus. She sat across from a woman who had a tablet open with designs already pulled up on the screen. “I went through your references,” the woman said. “You’re not going for anything too loud.” “I don’t want loud,” Aurelia replied. “I want something that when people walk in I want them to notice the details when they get close..the elegance and be intrigued instantly.”

Aurelia I prepare the apartment with the same meticulous care I apply to high-stakes negotiations. Each element has purpose, a carefully curated atmosphere designed to relax and invite confidence. The lights are set low but not dim enough to hide anything—just enough to soften edges and deflect harsh scrutiny. The space is immaculate, yet holds the casual warmth of someone who lives there, creating an inviting ambiance. A bottle of wine breathes on the counter, the aroma mingling with the faint scent of fresh flowers I picked earlier, enhancing the illusion of effortless elegance.

And if there’s one thing they all had in common, it was that they were beautiful. But… He’s worse. He’s too beautiful. The kind of beauty that doesn’t just get admired it destabilizes things. Fae beauty isn’t normal beauty. It’s not soft or human or even truly consistent. It shifts depending on perception, like your mind can’t decide what it’s looking at. One moment it’s sharp and cruel, the next it’s almost tender, like it’s been tailored specifically to whatever weakness you didn’t know you had. They say faes aren’t just born beautiful but that they’re crafted by magic itself. Curated by old laws, by courts that care more about aesthetic balance than morality.

An ideal world where no competition is allowed, only a crowd, which despite being exhausted, is relentless when it comes to one day reaching the standards of beauty that belong to them. That is why, tonight, I choose to challenge everything he believes in by clinging to the theory that yes, aesthetic beauty is certainly attractive, but over time, one will need something more to keep the admiration burning like a flame. This may be intelligence, charismas, or a lost soul for those who love to mend one. The pity being that, most of the time, this becomes a rip-off. For when plunging into the depths of another, one may be startled to discover that our pure desire does not match at all with our
