Rachel Lawson's The Magicians Podcast

Between a ghost reincarnated in a magician and the magician himself and a hybrid of Magician, and grey alien. They love yet don't know who the other is, even if they are friends. They love yet can't see the other hiding in plain sight. Who will she end up loving?

"What are you doing?" said Stella. "I'm coming to the masked ball in style," said the Ghost. "In style, what are you going to do rob it?" said Stella. "Rob it?" said the Ghost, offended. "Why are you dressed as the Ghost?" asked Stella. "I was hoping to see Rogue Star," said the Ghost. Rogue Star was Stella's secret name as a local superhero. No one knew who she was. "Why?" asked Stella, frowning. "Do I need a reason?" said the Ghost. "Nice outfit, Aureus," said a voice behind them. "Hi, am I that obvious?" said the Ghost. "Actually, yes," said Stella. "Well, I had to try, I wanted to meet Rogue Star," said Aureus. "Face it, she's out of your league," said the person behind them, Jasper her father. "I am not the Masked Chicken now," said Aureus. Who had been a fool for most of his life. He had been known as a fool, he had been known as the Masked Chicken. He had indeed changed the man who woke up to be Aureus, the Ghost. His sleeping soul awakening turned the hopeless, helpless, fool into a normal person, but his reputation stuck. "We know it," said Stella, "but you are no Ghost he is charming and amazing you are just... you."

Aureus looked sad that even the girl who loved the Ghost wasn't mildly impressed by the outfit.
