Dark starfield background. Large text at top: ‘THE PITCH.’ Under two movie posters, text on left reads: ‘encountering the unknowable’ and under Annihilation poster: ‘contact that warps and bends.’ On the right above Brokeback Mountain poster: ‘unlikely intimacy in isolation’ and below: ‘love that cannot last.’ Main body text reads: ‘On a lunar prison outpost, two exiled men uncover a cosmic presence waking beneath the ice. As their uneasy alliance against it twists into something tender and terrifying, they are confronted with the one thing they never expected to find on a dead moon: a reason to live. But the ice is thinning.’ Bottom right: saraduran@bksy.social / @saraduranauthor on x

Dark starfield background. Large text at top: ‘THE COMPS.’ Three book covers below. Above the first cover (The Mountain in the Sea): ‘isolated research station.’ Below it: ‘philosophical alien threat.’ Above the second cover (The Deep Sky): ‘psychological unraveling.’ Below it: ‘fracture under mission pressure.’ Above the third cover (The Salt Grows Heavy): ‘queer, visceral horror.’ Below it: ‘love as a consuming force.’ Bottom right: saraduran@bksy.social / @saraduranauthor on x

Dark starfield background. Large text at top: ‘SNIPPET.’ Large opening quotation mark. Text reads: ‘Neither spoke as Elias bypassed the security protocol on the keypad. The metal hatch shuddered as it unlocked, slinking back to hidden panels in the wall. They cleared the first few floors with carrion precision, methodical as Dermestidae stripping a carcass to bone. In Elias’s imagination, the gore thinned into something vaster—a time-lapse unraveling the ruin from above. Wordlessly, corridors were scoured to nothing as he and Jack moved like insects beneath an overhead lens. As the hours dissolved, their work became abstracted into a cold anatomy, intimacy pared away as cleanly as flesh from the frame until only the architecture of survival remained. When Jack hacked into the collapsed doorway to the next stairwell, Elias marveled at the contradiction—how those same brutal hands had, only that morning, traced him with the delicacy of a scalpel.’ Large closing quotation mark.

#Questpit #A #F #R #Q

A trio of three people, a girl in the middle, holding a sword. A hand wreathed in white fire. A man’s eyes brown with curly red hair a forest a woman who is an elphve with gray eyes and brown hair a library with stacks towering to the ceiling in the crystal cavern.

She’s a half-elphven princess bound to be spy and pawn. He’s a “magicless” lord desperate for freedom. At the empire’s war college love and loyalty collide—one choice could ignite a revolution. Found family of FourthWing ×An Ember in the Ashes xFate laced romance of the Witcher #Q #questpit #A #F #R

At Belcon, the empire’s war college, a half-elphven rebel and a lord “without” magic find love in a crucible of lies. Together, they could save the realm—or destroy it. Found family of Fourth Wing × An Ember in the Ashes x fate laced romance of the Witcher #DVpit #A#F#R #WOC

Thank you!! That means a lot 🫶

The first image is a purple castle covered I mist with green. A woman with brown hair and gray dress and man with red hair and bronze armor stand with their back to the viewer. The second image is a male hand ringed in white fire.

Me too!! 🫡🫣

Can’t wait!!!

Fantasy romance!

#DVPARTY day 6

What’s next? I’m deep into book two expanding the world and magic. Book two of Parson and Elara’s story is taking a darker turn—a moody, gray fantasy romance tangled in a lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers?!? arc. The world is expanding, the stakes are higher, and the heartbreak runs deep.

Thank you!! Still working on it hopefully soon!

Sad music 🤝 Me

So inspiring!! Congratulations 🎉

It is the the two button meme with a finger hovering over both one says - spying for her peoples uprising while freeing hundreds of enslaved elphvens, raising an army, hunting for a goddess. The other days falling in love with a mortal boy who can’t swing a sword. The bottom panel is original art work of the character a brown skin elphven woman with gray eyes captioned “Elara”

Parson’s opening lines #DVparty

Startled, the young man awoke, his eyes fluttering open to the dim autumn light that filtered through the heavy, moth-eaten curtains of his chamber. The room was small and sparsely furnished, not a single piece matching.
#A #F #R #openinglines

Elara’s opening lines #DVparty

The feeling of power itched over Elara’s skin, so much elemental power in one place. It seemed to blanket her senses, and the scents, the never-ending mortal scents. Grass and snow, sun-kissed breezes, and berries.
#F #R #dualpov #openinglines

Elara Sundeer Ashcroft
A half-Elphven princess bound to a goddess’s prophecy. Elara bears the weight of two worlds both demand her loyalty. Fierce, cunning, unyielding, and brave she is driven by love for her people—yet haunted by her destiny.

A CAGE OF FLOWERS- Dual POV

Parson Ironerose
A young lord trapped beneath his uncle’s rule. Parson longs for magic he’s never been able to wield. Restless, clever, and quietly defiant. He hides his vulnerability behind wit, unaware that dormant power stirs inside him.
