I could be convinced to find alpha readers for my currently untitled #YA #CF #R Calliope is a demon hunter who wakes up one day to find her short term memories are broken. Orion is a reaper tasked with retriving the soul of an angel who escaped proper death and is now hiding in Calli's body. #ABCPit

Calliope Reid collage.
A photo of various knives, a puzzle of Starry Night, a scenic phoot of a valley with a river cutting through and a person's legs, a campsite on a lake, a journal full of writing, a starry page that reads "STARS: For my partI know nothing with certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream. -Vincent Van Gogh", and a photo of Freya Allen.

Orion collage.

A photo of the Orion constellation, a close up of a hand holding up a crown, the tarot card Death, a hand + arm that slowly turns to black smoke, hands that are completely covered in black and sparking, an eye where the eyeball is black and the iris is white, and a photo of Curran Walters.

CHOSEN: In which Lily and Zev have their first one-on-one conversation, Lily finds out exactly why he is cold toward her. #WIPSnips

“God, the names. First Caius and now you. Both of you sound like you’re repeating a mantra or a script. Why is everyone so obsessed with names around here?”
“Because that’s what we are. Monster hunters who’ve lasted generations. It means something when you can trace your blood all the way back to the foundation of the Chimeras. Or if you have enough wealth, you’re untouchable.” He sighs. “I fucked up and didn’t search the perimeter properly and some human kills half my promotion case. And then to have my best friend and chosen partner vouch so desperately for the one who got in our way to join us.” He exhales shakily. “And you want to know the worst part of all of this? You’re sweet. To everyone. To Stella, to Tad, to me. After what I’ve said and how I’ve ignored you. And Tad…he’s never acted the way he has since he found you that night. You’re friendly, your presence lights him up, how could I hate you for a clear accident? And yet…the judgement from everyone is suffocating.”

CHICKEN: In which Tad explains what attribute he's gotten from each monster injection, while leaving the one Lily wants to know about most out of the explanation.

“Ghosts don’t have blood, right? There’s no option for an injection there. Gorgons and basilisks have poisonous blood. We learned the hard way, centuries ago, injecting that shit was deadly. No injection. With the werewolf blood, I was gifted the ability to see in the dark. Vampire blood was the blessing of never being allowed in sunlight, púca blood is the reason my hair is white.”
I wait for him to continue about the horns. He only stares at me, his mischievous smile something of a taunt. Like we’re playing a silent game of chicken. Who’s going to mention them first?
“And the horns?” Me, I guess.

When you're a city girl and the clearest night sky you've seen is the moon and her brightest companions, then on your 18th birthday you're a thick glass wall away from the cosmos.

But there are so many. More than I’ve seen in my entire life. I grew up in this city. I’ve experienced navigation by flickering streetlamps, rainbow Christmas light constellations, and wishes on headlights. The only night sky I’ve ever known is the moon, the planets, and the brightest stars. The few vacations we took when I was a kid, given the flowers in the store, were in other cities. Of course, I’ve seen photographs of the universe, but none of them come close to the radiance shattering my mind.
And one day, I’ll step inside and risk my life for immense power.

Sara @fictionalrealms.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

😨 Wait I can explain! The -ly thing is rough because words like "only" exist and my MC's name is Lily. And I didn't do the math to see what words are spoken in dialogue vs in the narration where they could be taken out. This is still pretty bad though lol #CRPDryads #CampRevPit

Sara @fictionalrealms.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

#CRPCabinRaids #CRPDryads I'm so glad you asked! (For Caius, Nicholas Duvernay also works really well in my head) And if you ask my husband, Giancarlo Esposito is who he pictures for Gabriel. Clearly I need to be clearer in the text when it comes to Gabriel's age...

Dove Cameron as Lily
Felix Mallard as Caius
Jordan Fisher as Zev
Paulina Chávez as Stella
Anya Taylor-Joy as Freya
Nico Parker as Ariel
Michael Mando as Gabriel

I'm so behind🫣 #CampRevPit #CRPDryads This exchange between Lily and Caius is a great showcase of growing up "human" and becoming a Chimera vs growing up a Chimera. This may be her first time dealing with this reality, but it certainly isn't her last.

“When Thaddeus said you were monster hunters, I didn’t think ‘monsters’ included the lost souls of little girls who aren’t hurting anyone.”
“If you want to continue doing this to Ascension, you need to work on your expectations. Some monsters look exactly like humans, some like animals. Unless you want to risk your life and mine, you can’t have those kinds of thoughts in the middle of a field case. Deal with it after.”

Come name fun facts: Lily's parents own a flower shop. Their 3 daughters are named Lilyana, Chrysanthamum (Chrys), and Poppy. Caius, his siblings, and some cousins are named after Shakespeare characters (Helena, Puck, Lucius, Olivia, Oberon, Ariel, Juliet, and Hero) #RevPitWaiting

Incredibly out of context memes, but memes nonetheless🩷 #RevPitWaiting

Gru presentation meme. Gru is labeled as 'Caius'.
1st panel says "1. Become Lily's Guide so she can't cheat her way to Ascension"
2nd panel says "2. Be rude to her and give her a mean nickname"
3rd and 4th panels say "3. Fall in love with her"

Miniminuteman meme where he's standing in front of a blackboard with "How do we know its not [an elemental]? -Critical thinking"

(He is labeled as Tad)

Good Place meme where Chidi is labeled as Tad and Eleanor is labeled as Lily.

Chidi (Tad) says, "I know you're deflecting by making jokes about how hot you are--"
Eleanor (Lily) says, "It's not a joke! I'm a legit snack."

Beaking Bad meme of Walter shouting in the car with the windows up.

the text says "LILY!!!!! ANSWER YOUR PHONE"

"What can I say? Parents love me." -Tad Flynn And he's right. #RevPitWaiting

My dad has his phone hooked up to the store speakers blaring a shuffled playlist of their favorite eighties and nineties hits.
“Hello!” I shout over the music. “Your favorite child is here!”
My dad turns around and beams. “Tad!”
“Ivan! It’s been too long.” Tad smirks down at me and I roll my eyes.

3/30: CP Shout Out Shout out to my husband honestly. In the first draft, I had this idea for a couple chapters. He thankfully looked me in my two eyeballs after reading them and told me that one of my MCs was acting out of character. We refer to it as the "infamous birthday chapter" #RevPitWaiting

Why yes, Tad does have max Charisma stat. And yes, Lily did dress up as Jessica Rabbit for Halloween to tease him🫶 It's also wild that I don't have 'film' in any of my current works in progress #WIPSnips #RevPitWaiting

I stop because I only want to be alone with him. It doesn’t matter where. I take off the bright red wig, then the nylon cap, and I search for every bobby pin I used to hold the net cap to my head. It’s a struggle since I’m holding the wig and several pins already while trying not to drop any of them. Tad takes my hands, bringing them away from my head. He calmly picks up where I left off, running gentle fingers over the net cap and finding the last few pins. He gives them to me then carefully pushes the cap off my head. My pastel pink hair falls in loose, messy waves around my shoulders. His hand covers his heart. “There she is. If I faint here in the hall, know it’s because you’ve stolen the air from my lungs.”
“I was told you loved Jessica Rabbit.”
“Of course. She’s a crazy hot character in a great movie. But I loved her when I was twelve. This,” he says as he tucks my hair behind one of my ears, “is infinitely better.”

Sara @fictionalrealms.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

From AN OATH WITH THE STARS, in which Tad uses Lily's parents' names and she hates that for herself🫰 #WIPSnips #RevPitWaiting

“I’m also officially giving this back to you.” He takes out the original flash drive with the security footage of the fire. “I’ve looked through the video so much it’s burned into my brain and infected my nightmares. The drive also has other family-related stuff, so I figure Ivan and Tara want it back.”
I wrinkle my nose at him as I take the flash drive and put it on my desk. “Don’t use my parents’ names like you’re close with them.”

I'm glad you asked! 1st: A currently untitled YA urban fantasy, dual POV. We follow Calliope Reid, a demon hunter who becomes possessed by the soul of an angel, and Orion, the reaper who's hellbent on saving her before the angel's soul consumes Calliope's. #RevPitWaiting

Collage for Calliope Reid.
TL-->TR: A photo of a variety of knives, a puzzel of Starry Night, a photo of a river cutting through two autumn colored mountains with someone's legs in the shot.
M: A passage that reads "Stars. For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream. Vincent Van Gogh"
BL-->BR: A campsite with a late and mountains in the background and a lit campfire in the foreground, a journal with lots of writing and some things circled in red, a photo of Freya Allen.

An Orion collage:
TR-->TL: the Orion constellation, a crown, the Death Tarot card
M: Curran Walters with red and yellow lighting
BL-->BR: an arm turning into black smoke, two arms with charcoal black hands and veins that end in fire, an eyeball close up where the iris is white and the eyeball is black.

From a wip that I've recently found inspiration for again while RevPit Waiting. #WIPSnips #WriteSky

As much as I would like an answer to his diet, I’m looking forward to the chicken and waffles with a side of turkey bacon, so I’ll ask again later. I unroll my paper napkin and set up my utensils when Orion’s hand launches across the table to grab my left wrist. He’s gentle when he pulls my hand closer to him. He studies the bruise on my knuckles.

“When were you going to tell me about this?” he asks in a low voice.

Lily opts for a non-violent approach for her first ghost exorcism. #WIPSnips #RevPitWaiting

“Where’s Hannah.” A little girl shimmers into view in front of me. She sits cross-legged. Her dress is wrinkled and dirty, and her brown hair is a mess. She scans me. “You’re pretty.”
God…a real ghost. I grew up watching ghost hunting shows, and I’ve always believed they were real. Sitting and talking to one is an experience eleven-year-old me didn’t think she’d ever have.
I smile at her. “Thank you. Hannah is visiting her grandparents, but she’ll be back in a few days. She was worried you’d be lonely, so I offered to play with you until she returns. My name is Lily, and he’s Caius, but you can ignore him. He was bad, so he doesn’t get to play princesses.”
Caius rolls his eyes at me.

Sara @fictionalrealms.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

Can't not use AOWTS for this. And of course I have to use an excerpt that features one of Tad's many lily related nicknames for her, though this is one of the tamest ones. #WIPSnips #RevPitWaiting

“Sorry,” he lets go. “Not that one. You’ll find out about the sixteenth floor when you become a Chimera.”
“When? You sound so sure.”
“Believe me, you’re gonna say yes.” He steps closer and points at the buttons. “Two to five are bedrooms. There are a few on the first floor we can look at so you can get an idea of what those look like.”
“Can’t I see yours?”
He raises a brow at me, a mischievous smile curling his lips. “You either have to be friend status or take me on a minimum of three dates before you can invite yourself into my bedroom, Easter Lily.”

Note: Injecting the blood of a fire elemental /could/ have dangerous consequences #WIPSnips #RevPitWaiting

“What are you doing?”

Caius stands in the doorway of the training room with a navy duffle bag in one hand. He looks at me with furrowed brows, and I can’t entirely fault him for it. I sit in the center of the room snapping my fingers over a pink cherry blossom scented candle.

“Plan B. But it’s not working so I guess it’s up to Plan C.” I gesture to him before putting the candle on the floor against the wall with my water bottle.

“What was Plan A?” He drops his bag against the weapons wall to my left.

“Waiting for my attribute to manifest itself. Even if that meant self-combustion in the library.” I imagine what my dad must’ve seen when the elemental burst into flames in the store. “I’m done waiting. We’re going to force it out.”

There are several moments, but this one spoke to me today. #RevPitWaiting

Snippit on a starry night sky background:

I want to cry, but my body won’t let me. “How can I keep my family safe when a vampire could walk into the shop and kill them? Or a friend of Chrys’ sleeps over and kills them all because they were secretly a werewolf? Or—”
“You kill monsters.” As if it’s that simple. “That’s why we do what we do. That way your family, and my sister, and every unknowing person in the world remains in the dark.”

AN OATH WITH THE STARS sees Lily choose to become a monster hunter when a fire elemental attacks her family's home. As she navigates her new life, her quest for revenge leads her into the paths of Tad and Caius, two boys who hate each other. Things only get complicated from there. #RevPitWaiting

-A Villain who will do anything to become a god

(On Right) (Some) Trigger Warnings:
-Violence

Starry background with white text that reads:
Excerpt:
“I’m assuming that’s also the reason for all the layers.” I gesture at him from head to toe to umbrella. “I’m sweating just looking at you.”
“Observant. I can’t be in direct sunlight.”
I cross my arms over my chest. “What happens if you are?”
He eyes the window on the wall to my right and the block of daylight draped over the floor and part of one table. He walks over, pushes up one sleeve of his hoodie, and curls his fingers into a fist. He sticks his hand into the sunlight. Wisps of smoke rise as his skin sizzles like bacon. The flesh boils and cracks. My hand flies to my mouth but it does nothing to hide my shock. Creatures made of fire are one thing, but to watch human flesh smoke and bubble, to hear it snap like twigs in a campfire, makes my stomach flip. He keeps his hand in the beam for a few more seconds until he wrenches it back, cradling it to his chest. He winces, grinds his teeth together, as he closes the distance between us so he can show me his skin harden like rock.
“Will it stay like that?” I ask.
“No. I’ll get it looked at when I go home.”
“Sure. What exactly is a Chimera?”
He rolls his sleeve back down. “Well, in Greek mythology, they’re monsters that are one part lion, one part—”
“I meant you. And Zev. And the woman.”

“Who’s your parent?”

He tilts his head. His eyes sparkle with amusement. “You can’t tell?”

“From what I’ve seen you do my options are somehow limited and limitless. But I could guess.”

He swallows hard. “Artemis.”

A laugh escapes me before I can stop it. That’s impossible. Heidi taught me Artemis only has daughters. “You’re lying.”

Screenshot of a scene from Breaking Bad where Walter White is screaming in a car where the windows are closed.

In white text at the bottom, it reads: "LILY!!!! ANSWER YOUR PHONE"

Gru presentation meme that has Gru labeled as "Caius" in all 4 panels.

Tad has some bangers, but I think it's about time to shed some light on Caius. #RevPitWaiting

“I thought you were at a funeral,” he states.
“I was.”
“Then why aren’t you wearing black?”
I look down at my lilac sun dress, arguably the last thing someone would expect for funeral attire. “Pen—Ty’s partner—wanted today to be a celebration of Ty’s life. Her favorite color was purple, and her favorite season was summer, so I chose this.”
“Well, you look… It’s a…” Caius swallows. His voice is strained, as if he’s having trouble saying something nice.
I look over at him. “Are you trying to compliment me?”
“Not anymore.”
