MUSE = A queer speculative #LF Dark Academia in Mexico City

Art destroys.

Dámaso's as obsessed with his art as with his muse. When their art kills their law school's president, they hide in plain sight on opposite sides of the case, drowning & drowning & drowning in joint insanity

Pious Itotia’s failed banishment ritual binds her to Metztli, a sardonic moon deity who loathes the bond nearly as much as worship, especially now that it’s robbed them of their immortality

TO BECOME THE MOON A dual-POV adult romantasy steeped in Nahua (Pipil) belief*, set against the lush tapestry of precolonial Central America. Adult | Romantasy | 90,000 * — (Pulling from my family's heritage) QUERY Itotia, a healer’s apprentice struggling to meet her mentor’s expectations, sees visions when she touches others. She believes it’s a sign of possession—an omen warranting exile or death—until her attempted banishment ritual truly binds her to the god she calls on. But the moon deity, Metztli, is self-serving and nothing like who Itotia thought she worshipped. Metztli, the exiled moon deity, has been confined to the human realm for showing emotion. They bargain with the wicked gods: Metztli will deliver unknowing Itotia to the divine realm in exchange for a broken bond and their returned seat in the sky. The two can hardly get through a conversation, let alone a tethered line of thought. They begin to relish how Itotia challenges them, just as Itotia starts to admire the way Metztli defines a being’s worth. Itotia’s determination to excel is engulfing, and soon, Metztli’s certainty in the irreversible bargain morphs into dread for the day Itotia discovers it. Comp titles with arrows pointing the specific tropes of each book: The Legend of Meneka by Kritika H. Rao (non-western mythology, lush prose) The Deer and the Dragon by Piper CJ (fickle gods, bargains) North is the Night by Emily Rath (fairytale feel, bargains) Her Soul for a Crown by Alysha Rameera (Bargains, Fairytale Feel, Tethered Love interests) Sorcery and Small Magics by Maiga Doocy (tethered love interests, enemies to lovers) EXCERPT Where humans regarded earth-given gifts as currency, gods traded in favours. Perhaps that was the reason they mistook us for desiring hand-carved trinkets and the cacao beans that splattered on the jungle floor with as much allure as the droppings of a bird. They hurled them to the ground, made some demands, then slapped their hands together a few times and called it divinity. Through all the glares and angered roars, I held my attention on only one form: a narrow-framed shaman with a bloodied cheek the perfect echo of mine. Beautiful as she was, she would be my death. Of that, I was already sure.

Itotia's failed ritual binds her to a god & steals their immortality. Metztli, a now-bound exiled deity, trades Itotia's fate for redemption.

Itotia thinks she's possessed—until her botched banishment ritual binds her to a deity for real.

Metztli is the exiled moon, and now bound to Itotia, they're pissed. Until the offer comes: trade her for redemption.

When a con artist gets her best friend arrested, she knows just how to fix it: lie

Kali infiltrates a secret society of mages to execute a heist to save her friend, all under the eye of her dangerously alluring mentor who's hiding almost as much as she is...

There was a certain purity of the moment, a breath held between gently parted lips, teeth holding back the before and the after of the knowledge about to impart itself across Kali's mind in a matter of only a few simple words. It was the type of silence, she later learned, that marked the ending of an era, where everything was proper and orderly and fine, and passed over the threshold to the precipice of everything that she'd fought to avoid, and everything she was terrified would come to light.
