WAYFARERS x MURDERBOT x SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN

Tai can get through this. Things'll go back to normal. Steal the cargo, stop thinking about the human, wipe the security feed, stop thinking about the human, get out of the vault, stop thinking about the human. Easy. #QuestPit #Q #LGBT #R #A
A movie poster for "CARGO", depicting a sunset with two crescent moons in the sky. In the foreground are silohettes of two people, only their arms visible, their pinky fingers grasping each other tightly. The arm on the left is thinner and has four fingers. The arm on the right is of average proportions and has five fingers. The top of the poster reads "A match made in space. While stealing things." Below the name "CARGO", there is smaller writing in an alien language, presumably the title translated. At the bottom of the poster, the credits section is as follows: CATHERINE WINTERS AND COREWARD BAKER PRODUCTIONS LTD PRESENT A CATHERINE WINTERS NOVEL ‘CARGO’ STARRING TAI OF MICAPA THYLLIS CHAUMEDEROT TALATAGARI QUIRIN TALATAGARI ANENTO FRANK THE CAT JEREL BESKROS CHOST MOL RAZIK FEATURING COOL MOSS ABOVE STILL WATER AND INTRODUCING CLARKE SHIPS BY SETEBO-URANQ AND CONSTANT VERIDITY INTERSTELLAR COSTUMES BY UPPER CORE ATELIER “HUMAN” CREATURE EFFECTS BY 3.8 BILLION YEARS OF EVOLUTION CASTING BY THE TRADE AUTHORITY EXECUTIVE PRODUCER CATHERINE WINTERS DIRECTED BY CATHERINE WINTERS WRITTEN BY CATHERINE WINTERS

I read this glorious collection by @vanessafogg.bsky.social who is one of my favorite short story writers. A collection that thrives in the negative space. In what the characters don’t say. Words missing or left untold. Connections waiting to be made. ✨

CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END

When their detective friend is murdered during their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly written supernatural campaign.

#QuestPit #A #H #M
The image, made with free non-AI stock pictures, shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color. The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects. At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title.

red wallpaper background, to the right is art by @nelsnote of a man looking up holding a bloody book, the light on him is coming from an angel wing and there are eyes in the dark behind him. he has an awestruck expression. to the left is, in gothic print, adult queer gothic horror romance, underneath that says ready for betas December 31, then under that the title forbidden fruits, with a honey drip underneath. to the left a red and black-themed moodboard: around the top border and right border: someone falling through red-tinged clouds; someone in white embracing a dark shadow with a halo behind them; someone standing at the top of some stairs, surrounded by giant red bulging eyes; a faded black and white photo style picture of a dark smudge shadow and the shape of someone hooking their head over the shadow’s shoulder, crying dark tears; red-toned painting of an angel with three eyes. The left space is occupied by a text image, gothic white on red, that reads ‘the problem with angels is sometimes they talk back’ over and over again. on top of that picture, picture of a painting of an eye with a large gold star growing in it. to the right, pitch written in gothic print. the pitch: why do you need an angel? according to the codex his teacher wrote, that’s the most important question to ask when summoning them. simon knows his answer: there’s someone he worships—the teacher he built a cult around—and he won’t stop until he has him. dark red wallpaper background. top left says comps, underneath are pictures of the covers for THE DEATH OF JANE LAWRENCE by Caitlin Starling and EVOCATION by S.T. Gibson. under that is a cream coloured drawing of a wolf. top right says elements in gothic print. elements: angel summoning as dark magic, corruption arc, epistolary dual timeline, violent longing has consequences, Victorian secret societies, he’s not dead until I say so. to the left is an angel statue. dark red wallpaper background. top left says feedback so far in gothic print. feedback is snippets from discord, saying: 1. THE KIND OF LOVE THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT might be in the apocrypha BUT STILL. and arguably, arguably, God so loving the world he gave his one and only son IS HONESTLY THE KIND OF OBSESSION WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HERE I GET YOU. 2. I feel like I was completely ignorant of what horniness even is before I met Simon and his whole deal. like, Jesus Christ, that dude. 3. I need to eat the fruits they are too tempting and beautiful. In the centre is a statue of lucifer. on the right is snippet in gothic print. the snippet: “I miss you desperately. I toy with effigies and cannot make myself reshape you in wax or clay. it’s you I want”

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.

All too soon, they're torn between following their hearts, or risking everything.

A MEMORY OF MOONKISSED MALICE Fantasy Dark Academia Feminine Rage Vampires Corrupted Moon Magic Villain Era Protag Queendoms Enemies to Lovers Found Family THE PITCH 18-year-old Alyss Veylas wishes to attend Nocturne Collegiate for one reason—revenge. Five long years after her sister was murdered by the school's guardian, she finally gets that chance. Armed with a Moon Fragment granting memory magic and the aid of her ex and his new girlfriend, Alyss must confront the woman who took away the person she loved most. CHAPTER ONE The rain made it easier to rob his grave. My shovel carved through the sodden earth, the water contorting into murky veins around its edge. Desperation drove each labored thrust, the burning ache in my muscles but an afterthought to the prize that lied in wait. Even the Valera Forest held its breath; the fog thick enough to smother the night's whispers. All was silent save for the spilling of soil under the deluge that drenched us. Us. As I lifted my gaze to the boy standing across from me, I found that word had lost all semblance of warmth. FOR FANS OF... The lush, gothic prose of... A fantasy academia setting similar to...

Love was erased from the prophecy.
A prince reborn from a dark entity meant to maintain balance, bound by his mother’s strings.
A girl with scars whose markings conceal a divine purpose. Her devotion transforms into defiance.
Together, they are each other's fate and each other's ending. #questpit #F
