Project 2! A science fantasy where the lines between universes become blurred by those grasping for power. A yearning monk, a tortured wizard, and a determined waitress are thrown together to figure it out. ❤️‍🔥 Reylo Vibes 🌌 Black Hole Magic 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Found Family 🌀 Portals 🍻 Craft Beer #DVparty

A collage of images, which include a foggy city at night lit up with teal lights from below, an illuminated manuscript with two birds, a shot of Rey and Kylo Ren looking at each other shadowed in black and white, a genteel gloved hand holding another, a stone door in a desert opening up to the night sky, an old rusted bridge in the forest, someone pouring beer from a tap, a gold an teal mosaic tower, and an artist depiction of a monk conferring with St. George.

It’s only kind of Mal’s fault the world is stuck in an endless winter. Don’t worry, he’s DEFINITELY going to internalize all that guilt. #DVParty day four, your story as a meme! Mal’s life is one big joke, really. Poor guy.

A meme board featuring character art. The character is a man with light brown skin, dark brown hair, and a golden sun for his left eye. He's wearing a simple jerkin over a white shirt.
The memes are in tweet/tumblr format and read:
"mother thinks i'm unfit to reign lol"
"what do you mean 'what's wrong with him?' he's mentally ill. he's catholic. he's even gay"
"Why don't we let the guy whose very plan could be reasonably construed as an abstract suicide attempt take a crack at it"
"Oh sure let's blame the guy whose fault it is"
"anyone else feel like god is just toying with u however he pleases. he thinks he's so funny. well i'm about to be hilarious"

Listen. LISTEN. It’s not Roan’s fault she fell in love. She just wanted to get some circuitry for her first curated exhibit, and he just so happened to be that circuitry. (And when I say repentant you best believe this guy did a LOT to make up for his other self’s mistakes) #DVparty

A meme of Geordi LaForge. The top panel has him holding his hand out to say “wait, I don’t know about that” with text that reads “Go to Earth to gather artifacts before the Sun swallows the planet.” The bottom panel has him pointing with what I can only describe as a quiet hell yeah expression with text that reads “Go to Earth and fall in love with a trapped, repentant hologram of the trillionaire who doomed the planet”

It doesn’t help that he’s secretly transmasculine. Either way, he is an embarrassment to his Venetian family- and thus, ineligible for marriage. When he turns sixteen, his parents give him over to the convent.

But it is Carnival, and Elia longs to step outside the cloister walls.

Then he stops to speak to the masked Rosalina, and discovers that someone has been murdering young women like his new friend. He’s been told his whole life he needs to be less. Now, as a cloaked presence moves through the convent by night and the murderer strikes close to home, he might have to attract attention to draw out the murderer, to save Rosalina, the other novices- and himself.

THE EVERWINTER KING Desperate to find his missing sun god, a former holy king returns home to compete in trials meant to bring his god back and stop the onslaught of an endless winter. 🏳️‍🌈 Queer norm world ☀️ Light-based magic 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans love interest 👑 Hidden royalty #QuestPit #Q #A #F #LGBT

Title page for an agent's guide to THE EVERWINTER KING. The title is placed over a moodboard featuring a Mediterranean inspired setting and royalty imagery. In addition to the title the page reads "Adult Fantasy Standalone. Queer normative world. MM romance subplot. 99,000 words."

THE EVERWINTER KING's pitch.

PITCH
A former holy king does the one thing he swore he’d never do in search of his missing god. He goes home.

Malachi was born with God’s voice in his head. When God vanishes in the midst of a decade-long winter, Mal breaks the oath he made to himself and returns to the home he abandoned—the city where he was raised to be king. There, he’s marked to compete in trials meant to select God’s new emissary. His replacement.

After succeeding in the first trial, Mal demands entry to the royal temple, where he learns the skies are empty. God has stopped speaking to his priests and Mal alike. With no other avenue for answers, Mal must win the competition for God’s favor and assume the throne he never wanted, or risk losing his oldest friend for good and damning the world to a worsening everwinter.

An excerpt from THE EVERWINTER KING. Next to the excerpt is character art of the main character. He has light bright skin, dark brown hair, facial hair, and a simple jerkin over white shirt. His eye is glowing like the sun.

EXCERPT STARTS BELOW

“My head hurts,” Malachi mumbled into his drink.

“They say King Ridaris’ eye glowed like this.”

Did they? Malachi shuffled through his memories for any mention of that from his mothers, or the history books, and found nothing.

“I think it means God knows who you are.” Sen lowered her voice, eyes shifting toward the surrounding priests. Kinder to pretend she did it out of concern for his headache. “You need to be careful.”

“Aye.”

“It hasn’t stopped glowing. Everyone else’s did.”

He raised a hand to cover his eye, pausing to marvel at the light pouring over his fingers and palm. It spilled into every crack, crevice, and scar his hand had to offer, like liquid pooled against his skin. Malachi closed his fist around the cold light and pressed it to his face. “Hurts.”

NETTLE & BONE x STAR DAUGHTER 💰 Cheating a suitor out of his money to help her family was easy. 🌌 Falling in love with the night sky trapped in a mortal body is harder. 💔 And helping them return to the sky at the expense of her heart might just be impossible. #QuestPit #A #F #RF #Q #LGBT

A collage of images, going from top left clockwise: a bouquet of colorful berries, swooping white towers with spiral balconies, a shiny purple beetle, a colorful shop full of knick-knacks, a blooming crocus in a dark forest, a drawing of a woman reaching out to the night sky as if to pluck a star, a crumbling castle on a moor, and mushrooms growing on a tree. In the center is a quote by Virginia Woolf: “I see you everywhere, in the stars, in the river, to me you’re everything that exists, the reality of everything.”
