First lines ⬇️
Thousands of phantom stingers pierce my skin, leaving no evidence but for the shaking of my hands. I flip the wooden sign on the front door to “Closed,” sighing as the cold winter daylight streams in through the glass panes. It reflects little white squares on the knobby wooden floor. Funny. Kinda makes me want to play hopscotch. As if I could. I heave a deep sigh, glancing around my apothecary. Dust motes swirl in circular ballets, bouncing off each other in fireworks of throat-scratching particles. How poetic. Limping, I hobble over to my counter, where piles of the most common herbs lay, untouched. I’m fucked.

A collection of images featuring futuristic nature-inspired tech, gears, a wooden board game, a woman with her head on a desk, and two figured dancing at dusk. The words “Always Greener” are in the centre.

DRAGONRIDERS OF PERN x PACIFIC RIM

A disabled mecha dragonrider struggles in an ableist society. When a hivemind of corrupted dragons threatens her people's very existence, she must team up with 3 riders—her lying would-be lover included—to save the solar system.

#DVpit #A #SF #DIS #LGBT #Latine
A moodboard with 9 tiles. The first row has purple spacescape streaks of light like hyperspace, a dragon egg, and a Latina staring at the egg. The second row has purple crystals and middle text that has crossed out "star-scarred, dragonrider, etli's claw, wave rider" then, underlined "me", followed by a person underwater. The third and final row has a closeup of a snake's eye to represent a dragon's eye, a solar system, and scale pattern to represent mecha dragon scales.

Kara is thirty-one, chronically ill, and fresh out of patience. Joining a reality show for a kidney feels like her last resort. But when she’s pulled into a messy love triangle between her donor and dialysis-tech-turned-best-friend, her fight for survival goes viral.
