#questpit #W #A #H PEARL + THE COLLECTOR When a young woman raised in isolation forms an obsession for a paranoid Vietnam veteran harboring secrets on his secluded property, she uses him to manipulate and abduct two men—a freshman college student and a local handyman.
Moodboard for VENUS, OR VENEREOUS 

A psychological horror set in rural Ohio in 1985.

Featuring a man with a college sweater on, other men wearing work boots and jeans, some looking bloody, sweaty, and in distress. A woman holding a revolver. A bloodhound standing in the water. A slice of pecan pie on a tin dish. Playboy magazines. An old Victorian house slightly dilapidated. An old pickup truck from the 80s.

📚 Ellie Rhymer! Spaceships and Scoundrels 📚 @ellieyellu.bsky.social · 24/07/2026
#Editors Heists, spice, and space, oh my! What do you do when: 🏳️‍🌈 You're a disaster bisexual 😱 Space witches want your hyperspace treasure maps 💫 You have to leave Hecate IV before you're caught You ALWAYS GET IN A SPACESHIP WITH A SCOUNDREL 🥵🚀 #QuestPit #AG #OS #A #R #SF
The first page of a pitch deck. A neon pink art deco border pulls words out of a romantic starry space background. This border and background repeat over the following images. The title page reads in art deco gold and neon pink: An editor's guide to -- Always Get In a Spaceship With a Scoundrel -- A Sci-fi Romance by Ellie Rhymer. Representation Christi Cardenas.Romantic pink and sci-fi neon and stars: Pitch. Good heists. Bad Decisions. Great Chemistry.

Anora is the quick-thinking manager of an illegal casino, fleeing the assassination of her gang's boss with the hyperspace treasure maps thrust into her hands as he died.

Jayro is a mouthy interstellar smuggler from the wrong side of the hyperspace lane with the only ship that can get Anora off Hecate IV before the emperor's relic-hunting space witches close a net around the planet.

The two bad-at-feelings bisexuals try to tamp down simmering, inconvenient attraction as they are forced to work together with the scrappy, tight-knit crew of the Helle Wanderer to survive in the criminal underworld and discover the secret at the end of the dangerous maps.

Their love story is a heist and they're stealing more than each other's hearts.

Always Get In a Spaceship With a Scoundrel by Ellie RhymerRomantic neon pink and a starry background: Excerpt. “Those are pre-set…” Jayro warned as Anora toggled a series of switches at the nav computer and began actively moving data streams around the screen.
“Pre-set for scans for //stationary objects//. You pick out your nav programs like you pick out your paint schemes?”
Jayro felt annoyance rising up in him again. The cockpit was his domain. Never mind that he agreed with her about the deco. “It took Fish weeks to get those programs running!”
“Look, unless you want to meet an asteroid face to face, shut the hells up and let me work.” Anora frowned as she watched some data return from the program. “Call engineering.”
“Gladly.” Jayro opened the channel on his wrist communicator. 
“Yeah?” Fish’s voice responded.
“The new navigator is having trouble with her—” Jayro broke off as Anora grabbed his forearm and yanked his wrist in front of her own face, causing his chair to whirl towards her.

A MARVELLOUS LIGHT X PENNY DREADFUL When a mysterious being heralds the apocalypse, there are only two witnesses: Rowan and Darshil, bitter exes who must brave London’s occult underbelly and save the world from eternal darkness, all while grappling with their unresolved feelings. #questpit #Q #RF
Gothic Gaslamp Romantasy
Adult standalone
109,500 words

Pitch:
After their one-night stand ends in hurt, hedonistic occultist Rowan and repressed poet Darshil never want to see each other again. That plan is ruined when a being from beyond the grave heralds the apocalypse, and they are the only two witnesses.
Forced together, Rowan and Darshil plunge into London's occult underbelly in search of answers to the apocalypse. But as the Veil between life and death slowly thins, and old passions reignite, Rowan realises the truth lies in memories he swore to forget, and that the past is a shallow grave, easily unearthed.
Comps:
The Magpie Lord: gaslamp world, occult magic, big spooky house
A Marvellous Light: opposites attract, magical bonds
The Gentleman and his Vowsmith: second chance, steamy romance
The Resurrectionist: historical setting, self discovery
Penny Dreadful: Victorian gothic, seduced by darkness

Black cat x golden retriever
Yearning
Bisexual awakening
Second chance romance
Forced proximity
Only one bed
Opposites attract
Gothic decadence
Big spooky house
Exploration of grief
Horror as a metaphor
Dreams-based magic
The occult
Alternate London setting
Art shows a thin white person with short black hair, blue eyes, and an unimpressed expression, and a plus-sized South Asian man with chin-length curly black hair, brown eyes, short facial hair, and a soft smile.

It was a poet’s job to seek out beauty, to be mesmerised by it. Darshil wanted to transform Rowan into swirls of ink, to fit his hands into the slight dips where Rowan’s waist met his hips and write him a thousand times over. 

The only thing more fascinating than death was the tormented living it left behind. 
It helped to hate him. It was less painful than loving him. 
The dead thing woke to the acrid stench of its own rot. 
Rowan matched him tenderness for tenderness, giving everything he could and knowing that for once, his everything was enough. 
Perhaps closing his eyes stopped it meaning anything. Darshil knew he should do the same. This was shame beyond anything else, a secret to take to the unloving grave.
He kept his eyes open anyway. With Rowan beneath him, as beautiful as the dawn, he couldn’t bear to look away.
