Princess Pearlina Seraphina Gaudrivere was absolutely, positively, undisputedly tired of swimming.

But she was a mermaid, and swimming was what mermaids did. She only hoped that today, she'd change things. Today, she would trade her tail for legs.

Text reads:
Former lady Lunabeth Brilhart had gotten her sea legs a long time ago, but she wished she'd never had to in the first place.

She'd navigate this ship across the entire world to find mermaid treasure, if that's what it took to go home.

A MARVELLOUS LIGHT X PENNY DREADFUL When a mysterious being heralds the apocalypse, there are only two witnesses: Rowan and Darshil, bitter exes who must brave London’s occult underbelly and save the world from eternal darkness, all while grappling with their unresolved feelings. #questpit #Q #RF

Gothic Gaslamp Romantasy
Adult standalone
109,500 words

Pitch:
After their one-night stand ends in hurt, hedonistic occultist Rowan and repressed poet Darshil never want to see each other again. That plan is ruined when a being from beyond the grave heralds the apocalypse, and they are the only two witnesses.
Forced together, Rowan and Darshil plunge into London's occult underbelly in search of answers to the apocalypse. But as the Veil between life and death slowly thins, and old passions reignite, Rowan realises the truth lies in memories he swore to forget, and that the past is a shallow grave, easily unearthed.
Comps:
The Magpie Lord: gaslamp world, occult magic, big spooky house
A Marvellous Light: opposites attract, magical bonds
The Gentleman and his Vowsmith: second chance, steamy romance
The Resurrectionist: historical setting, self discovery
Penny Dreadful: Victorian gothic, seduced by darkness

After their one-night stand ends in hurt, hedonistic occultist Rowan and repressed poet Darshil never want to see each other again. That plan is ruined when a being from beyond the grave heralds the apocalypse, and they are the only two witnesses.
Forced together, Rowan and Darshil plunge into London's occult underbelly in search of answers to the apocalypse. But as the Veil between life and death slowly thins, and old passions reignite, Rowan realises the truth lies in memories he swore to forget, and that the past is a shallow grave, easily unearthed.
Mood board shows a spooky mirror, a foggy Victorian street at night, two men embracing, a ballroom filled with dancing pairs, a misty graveyard, and a spooky house interior with covered furniture.

Rowan:
Sarcastic and self-destructive hedonist
Secret softie
Dark past
Fiercely loyal
A massive flirt
Not as cool as he pretends to be
Can walk through and alter people’s dreams
Darshil:
Hopeless romantic
Aspiring poet
Definitely Straight (don’t read all his poems about Rowan)
Complex relationship with his father
Maximum yearning
Chronic people pleaser
Repressed gentleman
Art shows a thin white person with short black hair, blue eyes, and an unimpressed expression, and a plus-sized South Asian man with chin-length curly black hair, brown eyes, short facial hair, and a soft smile.

Bernadette:
Optimistic
Terrible at keeping secrets
Encyclopedic knowledge of the occult
Can see ghosts
A great listener
Very lonely
Lives in a graveyard for the vibes
Cordelia:

Snooty and mean
Regina George energy
Fashionista
Knows everyone’s secrets
The favourite child
Fiercely protective
Can rot things with her touch
Art shows a thin Black woman with long curly black hair, black eyes, and a warm smile, and a plus-sized white woman with blond hair in an elaborate bun, green eyes, and a pink feather fan that hides the lower half of her face.
