Cynthomas is the het ship between Cynthia Moore and Thomas Meyer from the Great Pretender fandom.

Canon
They were both a couple who lived a happy life since they began their relationship. But then the two parted ways as a result of Thomas wanting to work as a professional artist, leaving Cynthia aside.

At the beginning of the story between the couple, they both met in a cafeteria, at that time Cynthia worked as a waitress while Thomas was a regular customer of hers, although sometimes Thomas was insecure when it came to ordering food, which he did to Cynthia laugh a bit at Thomas's behavior. Until one day Thomas asked Cynthia to model for his paintings, since he did not do very well with painting without something to illustrate, and because he was also discouraged lately. At that time, Cynthia didn't do well while doing dance therapy before work, but she told him that she was going to give her answer in another place, since her co-worker was watching them surprised, from there they were able to introduce themselves properly.

Once Thomas invited her to his home to pose for his paintings, Cynthia gazed at the paintings Thomas had worked on earlier, while saying he was good at it. Meyer later told her that he was actually only painting counterfeits to sell, so that he could get enough to live on. Cynthia then sees a peculiar painting, Thomas describes to her that that painting was "The Kiss" by Sergio Montoya, an artist who Thomas always looked for his paintings and make counterfeits of them since he admired him a lot, but that it didn't always made to paint at perfection. Cynthia asked if she had invited her because she resembled like the painting, Thomas then said that it was actually one for a simple reason; when he saw Cynthia in the cafeteria, he felt the power to paint again, and then asked her to sit down so he could start working.

Then it's seen the daily life of both; with Cynthia practicing dancing, working in the restaurant and then going out with Thomas and then doing various activities together, such as going to the park, visiting museums, etc, and then at night Meyer would paint her. Thanks to the fact that Meyer had come into Cynthia's life, she was able to improve in her dance therapy, and she was even happier than before. While Thomas was still doing the painting, Cynthia can be seen falling in love with him little by little. After finishing the painting, they are both satisfied with the result, and then they both officially start dating.

After Cynthia made a plan to defeat Coleman, she says she had someone in mind to make a replica painting, and that someone was Thomas himself. After that, it's seen both of them at Thomas' job selling the paintings, Thomas said that again they weren't going to sell anything, but Cynthia said she didn't want to sell the paintings that he had made of her, but then James Coleman appears on the scene and proposes a job to Thomas, since for him, Thomas was very skilled at making forgeries.

While the plan was not yet complete, Makoto takes a "Farreah Toffee" from the fridge since he hadn't eat anything because they stoled his wallet but then Cynthia snatches it from him saying that it was "expired", but the truth was later to be revealed. The story of both continue later, Cynthia asks about the future of Thomas if he sold his paintings, he told her that he was going to move in a bigger place, of course, if he could sell Cynthia's paintings that he did. Cynthia then says that if they both were going to do well ... then Thomas follows Cynthia's line and then he is seen drawing something as Cynthia watches patiently, while it's seen on her a small grin in her face.

After Coleman proposed to Thomas that he would paint for him, Cynthia interfered by saying that he wasn't going to work for him making counterfeits, but James later tells her that he was not going to make fakes, but works of art and that he would make the paintings look like they were original as no one would notice. Thomas later agreed to work with him, and because of this, he distanced himself from Cynthia even further, to the point that she couldn't take it anymore, as Thomas assured her that he would do it for their good, but for Cynthia, it was really just so that Coleman would gain more fame and get more money, and it was James himself who drove them both away, but Cynthia took it wrong thinking that Thomas no longer loved her, and that he only cared about his own work more than her. They later break up in a restaurant.

Later, Makoto finds Thomas while he looked miserable and then he tells him that he had to meet with Cynthia again. With that done, Meyer was finally able to meet Moore at the same restaurant where they ended their relationship. While Cynthia proposed that he work for the plan, he denied, saying that he had not painted in a while and that it could not turn out well, and also that James was very difficult to deceive, he later leaves the place angry saying that it was a terrible joke, leaving Cynthia there, a bit later, she said for herself that it was a waste.

Some time later, Makoto visits Thomas again telling him that since Cynthia had returned from the restaurant, she had felt depressed, and that she was obsessed with Thomas's painting skills, so Makoto told her that Moore needed help with that since there was no one else who could paint better than him. After letting him into his apartment, Thomas would tell him the meaning of each painting he had of Cynthia, saying that she didn't wear much makeup and that she ate canned beans back then. After Thomas refused to paint, Makoto showed him a box of Farreah Toffee and asked if he was known to him. After opening the box, it was revealed that Thomas had previously drawn a ring on a piece of paper and confessed with that to Moore, and that that piece was kept in that box, thus revealing the truth of the content inside the Farreah's Toffee.

Makoto then says that Cynthia hadn't changed since they both broke up, and that she was actually waiting for him so he could come to get her, besides that Cynthia had already taken her step to defeat Coleman and that he too must be starting, and that if everything went back to normal, Moore could be the same as before, the old Cynthia. After convincing him, Makoto takes him to another place and when they arrive, he told him that Cynthia had planned that place (a small apartment) so that he could work, showing that Cynthia still cared about Thomas even if they both were not longer together.

Some time after Thomas finished, Cynthia and Edamura were visiting him to see the result, Makoto then tells her that Meyer had put a lot of effort into the painting not for money, but for her, and also asked Cynthia to accept Thomas' feelings through that, and that they were still the same as before.

On the day of the auction in which the painting was to be delivered, Cynthia participated in it, and every time she bet more money on the painting, she remembered all the times she lived with Thomas before, until the auction for it was finally over.

In the end, the two of them can be seen talking in the cafeteria where they always used to be, and then they left the place to later reconcile with shaking hands. Cynthia later is seen dropping the box where the ring was, in response that she wasn't going to see any more promises between them, and that the situation wouldn't affect her anymore.
