#Cupit #R #CR #RC #A #NA #Q

Kira and Xavier have two things in common: neither is in a place to start a relationship and they're extremely attracted to each other.

It's only natural that they become friends with benefits.

Soon, they're torn between following their hearts, or risking everything.

#questpit #Q #PR #MY

AGENT INTEREST in my WIP after a full request. THEY'RE ALL HIDING SOMETHING. SO IS SHE. Snippets of dialogue The letter heading, crisp, startling, hooks her gaze. Irresistibly, she reaches out, her heart suddenly thudding... 'What the hell do you think you're doing?' The dark furious voice makes her jerk back guiltily like a marionette pulled sharply up on her strings. The papers in her hand spill to the floor again with the sly whisper of shifting sand. A man stands in the doorway, his hand still on the door-knob, his expression one of absolute blazing rage. Kate (later) defensively to Alex: Well, it was his fault. He jumped to the wrong conclusion and I…well, I couldn’t tell him who I was and what I was doing there, could I?’

Oh, I wouldn't say that,' he drawls. 'Some women of my acquaintance would hold ‘that I have a great deal of charm.’ (Girl comes out to drape beach towels over stone balustrade to dry. Stands, hands going to hips, and glares at them – or rather at Kate. Someone calls her. Calls again sharply when she ignores them. With a final dark glower, aimed again at Kate, she swings round and stalks off indoors.) 'I take it she's one of them,' says Kate. 'Poor girl. Never mind. I understand you can get very good treatment nowadays.' He looks pained. 'I'll have you know I have an army of fans out there.' She can't help laughing. 'Oh yeah?' 'Yeah.' Then the most astonishing thing happens. They smile at each other. I could like him, Kate thinks. He can be high-handed and insufferable but in spite of that, he does have charm, dollops of it. Under different circumstances, if he wasn't gunning for every journalist who comes within ten yards of him, and if my name wasn't mine, we might even be friends.

GLASS ONION x MISS CONGENIALITY
Mistaken for someone else, a reporter plays along. But she's not the only one acting a part. To uncover what's going on she must know who to trust, try not to get killed and definitely NOT fall for the man she's fake-dating.

“THE STARS & THE GHOST THEY CREATED” UPMARKET CONTEMPORARY ADULT/NEW ADULT

PREMISE * When a college student with secrets to hide collides with a girl who is used to running away, neither knows just how deep the cracks in their foundations might go-but sometimes the walls must fall for the beauty beneath to be revealed. COMPS • Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead • My Friends • The Wedding People • Eleanor Oliphan is Completely Fine

SNIPPET CHAPTER 1 The monster never gets forgiven in fairy tales. I've read enough to know. The grating rasp of my fingernails scraping against the already-torn skin of my fingers echoes through my bones. Rattling. Never settling. The air hums with overlapping sounds—a symphony of incessant buzzing that crescendos into an eerie ringing. I don't know whether it's coming from the electric lights that cast a ghostly halo onto the sidewalk beneath me or from somewhere deep inside my body where I can't see. It's suffocating. I imagine it's what being buried alive feels like. Having your lungs fractured into pieces too small to put back together. Or like drowning. But I know what that feels like.

MY FRIENDS x EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM WILL SOMEDAY BE DEAD

A boy with secrets to hide collides with a girl who is used to running away, leaving both with broken walls and fractured, but healing, hearts.

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. Sent him back to his body.

A dark forest. Comps. Nausicaä. One Dark Window. The Starless Crown. Godkiller. Final Fantasy VII Remake. Tropes. Chosen One (s)? Ecofantasy. Dieselpunk. Grumpy/Sunshine. LGBTQIA+. Multi POV.

Her eyes turn, trying to stay cool as they scan the sprawling streets, the steel towers, the crystalline lights that weave through the metropolis like veins. It’s almost commendable how hard she’s trying to maintain her composure. As if this is still an equation that can be solved, rudimentary as the mathematical problems she learnt in elementary school: if 4x = 16, find x. But if things were so simple she wouldn’t be standing here, body tautened like a coiled wire. Her heart wouldn’t be beating hard enough to fracture her ribs.
