This mood board features 9 images and 1 quote. The image consists of a girl looking into a cracked mirror, a man opening himself up to reveal whiteness, a cigarette being passed between two people, raw meat, a lake/forest landscape, a white heart-shaped cake bleeding from where the knife is in it, a male looking into a mirror with a blurry version of himself, outstretched fangs, a suited figure with a bleeding shirt. The quote reads, draw a monster. Why is it a monster?

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.

Anxious Letyf has no place on a world-saving quest, but when his elf-supremacist cousin declares war, Letyf joins the world's champions to protect their only hope—a child who can quell magic. In their way? World-hopping demon Lia, unwilling servant to the enemy. #Q #A #F #SFF #QuestPit #AgentsGuide
Title Page: WEB TRAVELER, Adult Epic sci-fantasy, 129k, dual POV. Art of an ancient staircase carved into a mossy cliff. tagline: "...is one small world worth dying for?"Pitch Page: Letyf Duilles has no place on a world-saving quest. Elf-supremacist Roksa Morthir took everything from Letyf—his best friend, his magic, and his future. An outcast in his rural elven village, Letyf is a constant reminder that an elf with no magic is no elf at all. When Roksa returns with an all-powerful demon on his side, Letyf must defy his endless self-doubt to protect a young elvish prodigy in the war for Crelan’s freedom. Lia, the demon in question, doesn't consider herself all-powerful. She's served heroes and villains many times before. With a string of dead masters behind her, she needs a win, or her immortality and her powers will be taken from her. If Roksa wants to conquer his backwoods, fantasy home-world, Lia will just have to do it with gritted teeth and minimal complaints about the plumbing. After all, why would a world like this be worth saving? Set on a parchment background, with photography of a spring green forest behind it. Comps: Parchment featuring five book covers: The Magicians (Magical Multiverse, I can't believe it's not Narnia, Anxious MC, Meta-fantasy, Classic Fantasy World Reimagined); This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me (Metapantasy, classic fantasy world, action-packed and bloody, dry humor, highly competent FMC); The Goblin Emperor (Anxious MC, No romance, deep friendships instead, Naive, fish out of water MC); The Bright Sword (No Romance, Naive MC, Action-packed, Classic Fantasy World, Epic Setting); Nine Goblins (Action Packed, Epic setting, Dry Humor, Highly competent FMC)First Lines:  Letyf drew back his arrow, sighting down the shaft at a kingbird on a low branch.

The bird cocked its head, beady eyes darting around, but they passed right over Letyf, crouched as he was in the brush. He adjusted his aim, gave the string a touch more pressure, and released.

The arrow arced away—and missed the fat gamebird by a clear foot.

-----

We arrived in my master's home-world with enough force to buckle my knees. 

As I yanked the heels of my pumps out of the super-heated soil, my master turned to gaze around at the brilliant green hills of his land. The rise we stood on was dotted with little white flowers, the sky was a perfect blue, and the trees shimmered with promise. Even the ring of burned grass around us couldn’t diminish the sweeping landscape.

Dark forest. An agent's guide to The Blessing Returned. Adult fantasy. 98,000 words.Dark forest. Pitch. Idealistic Hana Hahl lives in a world that is slowly dying after a failed quest to bring back magic. The only ones left with power are self-serving royals and dark mages, while desperation has given rise to an anti-magic order. Caught up in a mystical event, Hana is blessed with an immense power that could restore nature to the world. As Hana struggles to control the overwhelming force, Lady Kalyn Nossi, the only known survivor of the disastrous quest, directs her to the one person who can help her. Matthias Azel, the failed chosen one, reluctantly agrees to teach Hana while concealing his past from her. Accompanied by Kalyn and a charismatic prince with a dangerous secret, they journey to seek answers about Hana’s destiny. They fend off demonic threats and the anti-magic forces as Hana struggles with magic that seems to resist her and a growing fear that the world isn’t meant to be saved.A dark forest. Snippet.  She took a cautious step forward, unaware she was in a spectral form. Little drops of shimmering light followed her path, dissolving into the ground. “But this has to be a sign?” Grass grew where the light fell, delicate bits of nature that should be impossible. “Maybe it’s returning!”
 The young woman spoke with such bright reverence as if life was a fairy tale and magic was all they needed for a happy ending. It was as if she couldn’t see the shadows approaching her. The inevitable death.
 “Magic should never return.”
 After speaking those words, he sprang forward and shoved her away from the shadows. Pain rocked him as soon as he touched her. The scorching mystical agony tore a scream out of him, but it kept her away from the unearthly menace, and the shock did what he intended.

Letting go of his ex-husband is another story.Word Count: ~ 85,000
Pitch
Luke Shepherd knows bodies. What they keep hidden, what secrets they tell, and, most importantly, how to hide them.
As an autopsy technician at the Augusta Medical Examiner's Office, Luke spends his nights weighing organs, preparing corpses, and offering condolences to grieving families.
Then an email arrives in his work inbox, a picture of a bridge he hasn't seen for ten years and an ominous message attached:
LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID.
At their high school graduation party, Luke and his future ex-husband Kieran left a boy dead and buried the truth with him. Now someone else knows what happened that night; someone who begins with anonymous messages and ends with murder.
For Kieran, the haunting is proof their past has finally come to collect. For Luke, it's something far more exciting: a reason for Kieran to finally come home.
As their watcher tightens the noose, Luke finds himself less afraid of exposure than of losing the only person who ever made him feel alive. But the closer Kieran gets, the clearer it becomes that the real danger to them both may not be outside Luke's isolated house, but inside it.Meet The Characters

A mock-up album cover with a vintage film frame around a blurry image of an adult with tan skin and long, straight black hair. The person's features are blurred to almost fading aside from one eye with makeup and an eyebrow. The person is looking off to the side with a neutral/unreadable expression.

THE OFFICE X GOOD OMENS A satire of both business and the supernatural, Virgil Mora, Hell's Consultant, must restore Heaven's faith in Hell by saving a vampire-run Ohio gas station in just three months to save his job and Lucifer, the angel he's fallen for. #QuestPit #W #A #F #LGBT
A small four image moodboard on an orange background.

The first image is two men in suits, one in black and one in white, holding hands. The next image, a hand holding a red apple with a snake curling around it. The next image, a man in a business suit looking at his shadow, which has horns and a tail. The final image, a zoomed in image of someone holding their hands behind their back with their fingers crossed to indicate they are lying.

In large yellow print are the words "Hell Is Work" below that the words "Virgil Mora burns in hell. It's a pretty good job."
