PROJECT BONES After being accused of inviting the plague into a royal summit, a necromancer priest has to work with his only alibi, a cagey nobleman, to clear his name. 🦴 Death magic 🏰 Locked-castle mystery 🕯️ Medieval fantasy 🏹 Robin Hood trope 🏳️‍🌈 MM romance #BluePit #📖 #W #A #F #LGBT #DIS

A moodboard containing imagery of ghosts, bones, foxes, the night sky, and a palace. The title says "PROJECT BONES."

PITCH

Necromancer Nevell of Farlay cannot die, not since surviving the plague as a youth. Now he works as a priest to the god-king, summoned to protect His Majesty during the plague season. But when a mysterious spirit is sighted and nobleman is found dead, Nevell’s reputation gets called into question. His only alibi is the cagey, annoyingly handsome Lord Hargrave, whose reluctance to help Nevell clear his name threatens Nevell’s clergy rank—the only thing protecting his home from the horrors of the plague.

EXCERPT

“Have you no sense?” Nevell stepped between the man and the dying girl’s bed. His magic persisted, but the man carried a lantern that brought too much light into the room, threatening to wash out the spell. “A priest is at work. You should not be here.”

The man paid him no mind, instead peering over Nevell’s shoulder. “I’ve been called senseless before,” he said, speaking with the same grace his attire implied. “Is she…?”

“Dead? Nearly. The spirits are about her. You may have let them out.”

“Her mother has tended to her since this morn.” The man still didn’t look at Nevell. “The spirits will have fled already, if they intended to.”

“Spirits often lack intention.”

“You would know best.” The man took a few steps toward the bed, only stopping when Nevell grabbed his shoulder. He tried to shrug out of the grip, but Nevell held fast. “Father, we can save her—”

“Nay,” Nevell said. “She’s gone.”

INSPIRATION

This image contains inspirations for this WIP, including:

A serious of T. Kingfisher books ("A Sorceress Comes to Call," "Nettle & Bone," and "Hemlock & Silver) labeled "T. KIngfisher's horror-fantasy blend.

A picture of Robin Hood from Disney's Robin Hood, labeled as such.

An image of a necromancer with skeletons from Bioware 4 labeled as "The Country Nevarra from Dragon Age 4."

"The Tainted Cup" by Robert Jackson Bennett, "The Gentleman and his Vowsmith" by Rebecca Ide, and "Green & Deadly Things" by Jenn Lyons, all labeled as "potential comps."

A mood board of nine images, some with torn paper edges, arranged in an uneven grid. From left to right, top to bottom:

A warm brown photograph of an old mining tunnel. A broken window in the dark with bright flames licking out. The spine of an old leather-bound book with ornate metal accents. An unfocused human figure in a dark cloak and hood against a bright sky, reaching towards the viewer; their hand is in sharp focus and stained black with soot. A dark brick church shot from below with an iron statue in the foreground. A simple black and white photo of a bird carving with the lights and darks inverted. A blue-toned photo of a steam engine emerging from fog. A black and white close up photo of a leather archery quiver of arrows. A photo of a man in a navy blue, old fashioned military uniform loading a black powder pistol; his face is cropped out, showing only his hands and arms.

Above the arrow quiver, the text "Nevarine" is overlaid in light, warm tan, with "a novel" beneath it in slightly darker blue-gray.

A moodboard consisting of several images in/around a line of honeycomb.

Top: The sun sets over the buttes of Monument Valley.

In the honeycomb grid, from left to right:
- A figure in a long coat and cowboy hat stands, feet apart, with a gun at their side.
- A cowgirl sits on a white horse as she tips her hat.
- A bee gathers pollen from a pink flower.
- A woman in thick, blue fog holds up an orange, diamond-shaped lantern.
- A group of four bees exchange nectar with each other as they stand on honeycomb.
- A woman surrounded by mining equipment sits cross-legged as she tilts her head up. She's wearing a pair of large goggles.

Bottom: A row of wooden buildings from the Old West stand below a clear, blue sky.

A wanted poster featuring a bee-like person. She stands with two hands folded in front of her while the other two are held at her sides, before her open wings. She's wearing a headscarf and a long-sleeved dress with a pinafore over it.

Text above/below the pic of this bee person reads:

WANTED
for being too dang cute
(and assault on our beloved mayor)
HONEYSUCKLE
the ROGUE zizzun
REWARD: BOOK (eventually)

Moodboard of four images, all of which comes from various paintings by Alphonse Mucha:
Left: Salon des Cent. A woman conceals her mouth with a hand, her index finger curled down. She's glaring intensely at the viewer.
Middle top: The Moon. A woman wearing nothing but a navy blanket covered in stars stands against a backdrop consisting of the night sky and a crescent moon. She covers her smile with one hand.
Middle bottom: Emerald. A serpent snarls at the viewer from amidst green lilies.
Right: Poster for the 6th Sokol Festival. A woman in red, wearing a crown, sits as she clutches flower rings in her right hand and up her right arm. A ghostly, green image of a woman glares behind her.

A collage consisting of various cut out images:
- An illustration of Sherlock Holmes in his classic deerstalker cap and cloak smokes his pipe in the bottom left
- A honey bee gathers nectar from a flower in the bottom middle.
- Four macarons sit stacked in the bottom right corner.
- Up the right side is a stalk of purple foxgloves.
- The background is split between a pile of old newspapers and a dark alley lit by lamps and neon signs.
- Red stage curtains frame the entire piece.
- Five bee cut-outs (from two images of honey bees, flipped and rotated to various angles) fly around the top of the image.

A THOUSAND THREADS is a twisted, adult retelling of “The Princess & the Pea” in which she’s not a princess but a reclusive fugitive in disguise on a probably-doomed quest to clear her name & return to her plants. Plus, there’s pirates. Querying late 2026 🤞 #BluePit #📖 #F #A #W #Fairytaleretelling

A background image of being underwater. Fancy gold swirls with flowers and leaves line the edges. Built into these swirls are the images of a boat, a very tall bed, and the profiles of a man and woman. There is text in the center featuring the title, “A Thousand Threads.” Below that it reads, “Adult Fantasy | 100k words.” Belle that is the name, “Sadie A Lindgren.”

There is a turquoise background that fades to black in the lower right corner. The title of the page reads, “The Pitch.” There are gold swirls and flowers in the upper right corner. On the left there is a picture of a fancy, overly-tall bed. There is text in the center that says, “When the reclusive groundskeeper’s daughter is framed for an assassination attempt on the Prince, she escapes and returns disguised as a princess suitor in a scheme to clear her name and reclaim her quiet life. But the only person who can help her succeed is the devious pirate who framed her in the first place.”

There is a turquoise background that fades to black in the lower right corner. The title of the page reads, “The Details.” There are gold swirls and flowers in the upper right corner. On the right there is a picture of an old-fashioned ship. There is bullet-pointed text in the center that says, “Princess and the Pea retelling
Multi-POV
Autistic Female Protagonist
Romantic Subplot
Pirates and Royalty
Swedish folklore
1790s vibe

There is a turquoise background that fades to black in the lower right corner. The title of the page reads, “The Comps.” There are gold swirls and flowers in the upper right corner. In the center are the 4 book covers of the following books: Lady Tremaine, Nettle & Bone, Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries, A River Enchanted. There are arrows pointing to the various covers with text about how these titles connect to the manuscript in question including, “Fairy take retelling, Character-driven, Doomed quest, Whimsical humor, Neurodivergent FMC, Multi-POV, and Regional Folklore.”

13 GOING ON 30 x ANNA KARENINA Kitty wakes up 10 years in the future learning she's miserable despite now living in outer space. She decides to better her life w/ a scheme to win her ex back from the woman who stole him only to realize he wasn't the one she was interested in. #BluePit #A #SF #R #Q

A retrofuturistic space station serves as the background and it then says: An Agent's Guide to Ten Years Time an 84K Adult Queer Sci-Fi RomCom with Crossover Appeal

The top half of the background are colorful outer space like streaks and the bottom half is a retrofuturistic space station from NASA's Space art collection.

The top says "The Pitch"

And in the middle on paper it says: Thanks to a magical wish-granting meteorite, Kitty Shcherbatskaya wakes up 10 years in the future on the International Apollo-Soyuz Space Station (a.k.a IASS). Rather than return to the present, Kitty attempts some reconnaissance and learns. . .Future Kitty is downright miserable.

First of all, she’s engaged to Kosta, the most boring person in the solar system. Then, second but worse, she never studied astronomy and instead volunteers on the board consisting of society’s meanest girls at a failing modern art gallery.

Her one positive is that the man she always wanted to marry, Alexei, is in a failing relationship. This is her second chance to win him back and secure a happy future. So Kitty ignores that her last memory before the meteorite encounter was Alexei abandoning her on the dance floor for Anna Karenina.

Kitty decides on a fake dating scheme to make Alexei so jealous that he breaks up with Anna. For this to work, she’ll need the perfect man to fake date. While exploring her options, she crosses paths with Varenka, who knows her from a past she’s now never lived. When Varenka offers to help, Kitty finds herself wanting to spend more time with her rather than committing to the Get-Alexei-Vronsky-back Scheme.

But it’s not like she can abandon her second chance for Varenka. Kitty’s seen how the universe has exiled Anna for putting her happiness first. If she focuses on securing a happy future with Alexei she can easily go back to the present where she can erase ever knowing Varenka or she can risk it all and stick around for this person who apparently knows her.

A collage of characters that says "unhinged character comparisons" going from top left to right.

Kosta: Fred from Mystery Inc; Daniel Jackson from Stargate SG-1; Andy Serkis's character in 13 Going on 30; Milhouse from The Simpsons with his flood pants

Varenka: Jane Lane from Daria; Leela from Futurama; Sam from Danny Phantom; Mark Ruffalo's character from 13 Going on 30

Kitty: Mabel Pines dressed as a buisness person from Gravity Falls; Phoebe from Hey Arnold; the main character from 13 Going on 30 in her thriller dane dress; Lisa Simpson from The Simpsons; Bubbles from Powerpuff Girls

Alexei: Ramson from Lower Decks; Paolo from The Lizzie McGuire movie

Anna: Dolores from Westworld; Lisa's Rival from The Simpsons; Sara Bellum from Powerpuff Girls; Helga's Older Sister from Hey Arnold!

Run. What a powerful instinct.
Emma Bridge had wanted nothing more than to be with her two siblings in a home that felt safe, but those wishes never came true. With nothing left to lose, Emma runs away from the spotlight of the Hills to a small town across the country, but this new home is anything but the safety she’d been after.

The weight of the world has fallen on her shoulders, and she can’t carry it alone. But with her old name in every police station and her new name on every tongue in town, she’s not sure who she can trust to help carry the burden.

What we know:
-Runaway in Hiding
-Fake Identity (turned real identity)
-Mental Health Rep
-Genderfluid and Pan Rep
-Found Family
-90s Small-Town Nostalgia
At the bottom, the name Emma Bridge is crossed out and replaced with Peyton Freys

“The Hills have Eyes”

There’s a collage of pictures. Picture one is of two people, one sitting on the counter with the other in front of them. Picture two is go a small-town street with snowy homes to either side. Picture three shows a row of high school desks. Picture four shows a box of police evidence. Picture five shows a group of kids sitting behind an abandoned building. Picture six shows someone flipping off a police car. Picture seven shows a paper with the words “Child Custody Hearing” printed on it. The last picture shows a boy sitting at a school desk, writing something into a notebook.

In the bottom right, it says ON SUB SOON
