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

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 at a school desk, writing something into a notebook.

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

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.

NAUSICAÄ X FF7

Nature is decaying, nobles are hoarding magic, and demons prey on everyone. A possible chosen one, a man who failed his destiny, and a woman rejected by fate must work together for one last chance to save the dying world.

Mood board created by @trutherford! Features a couple embracing, a close up of a painter working, a dazzling golden light, a woman making a “shh” gesture, a carriage on a dirt road, a girl having her hair braided, and dangling wisteria blossoms. The text on the image says “Stolen Magic” and “R. Ehrick.”

18-year-old Vreta isn’t sure where she belongs in the world. But when she sets out to restore the stolen memories of her beloved’s sister, she must learn to accept, value and trust herself—or risk losing her own identity to a ruthless duchess.

Snippet: I think that’s when the thaw begins. Not when he pulls me aside and tilts his head down. I briefly think we’ve never kissed in public. And not when he gently presses his lips to mine, giving me the choice to leave it at that. Because in that moment, I burst into flames. It all comes rushing back, like a punch to the heart that leaves me breathless. All the love and longing I feel for this man.

A disciplined French student falls for leafy, laid-back post-Cold War Berlin—and for her reluctant host, an ex-athlete reeling from a wrecked career and a failed marriage.
The devastating catch? She can’t stay.

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.
