In a fictional world reminiscent of semi-occupied India, court musician, Aneesa, plays pretty melodies by night and plots her revenge on the governor by day. Falling in love with a runaway princess with her own secrets is just a misstep, but it might be one that proves fatal. #QueerPit #F #A #FR

vainika sitting with her veena in a purple dress, music notes float around her

SNIPPET:Vikram smiled, grin salacious as the singer rose. He gestured impatiently to the servant at his side who produced an opal the size of a child’s fist.

Courtiers nearby gasped and applauded, and the singer looked like she might faint. This jewel could feed her gharana for a year— maybe even two.

But my jaw clenched. The mahal did nothing out of pure altruism. I knew this better than most. There was always a price in the Vajra court.

Music is honesty, Aneesa-jaan. My mother’s words were like a balm from all those years ago. In its discipline, you can find truth. And I was doing just that. My veena was my weapon. My disguise as I sought to expose the Vajran Court’s underbelly. Maa might have never intended for me to use it this way, but she wasn’t here anymore. So who was to stop me?

THE THIRD LOVE x THE NAMES After a sudden rebirth, Max wishes for an easy, love-filled life, ignoring the claim that his affection is cursed. As he avoids work & devotes himself to his beloved, de*th finds his loved ones. Max must decide if life is still worth living. #SEAsianPit #Q #A #Spec #F #LF

In the background, spanning all four images, is commissioned art of post-reincarnation Mac in ancient robes, reaching for a reflection of his pre-reincarnation self in modern-day clothes. Paper falls around them, and a red ribbon swirls behind them.
The text in this first image reads: Years of Red Tears, 100,000 words literary speculative novel.
David Copperfield meets time travel C-dramas. Spontaneously reborn as an ancient noble, MAX wishes for all the wealth and love he never had despite high familial expectations and a curse to kill others with his affection. He'll do anything for his ideal life, even if it means marrying a stranger and becoming the next foreign minister. But when death won't stop knocking, he must decide if life is still worth living without someone to live for. Otherwise, the familiar yearning for death may be his greatest calling.

Themes & Tropes
- mixed-Asian character and LGBTQIA+ rep
- East Asian history and fairytales inspo
- sentient nature
- family trauma leading to self-doubts
- modern-day man vs. traditional values
- loser then vs. overly popular now
- love vs. obligation
- undying trust vs. expected betrayal
- chance meetings and destined partings
- timeless societal and familial pressures
- pen pals and soulmates
- sentimental and indecisive man surrounded by women who know what they want

In the bottom corner is smaller character art reincarnated Max holding a book and looking at his past self.
The text reads: Excerpt
When we met, I thought I was hallucinating. That the cumulation of all my make-believe was a mental breakdown. When I found that we were intrinsically tied, I couldn't wish for anything more. That was where I was wrong. The spirits abound reminded me that I am bound to every flower I touch. Because you are not a flower of this world, rather a floating cloud, I can never reach you. You can never entwine with me.
With all that has transpired, I remain a boy who wants to live for myself and die for love.
An impossible, otherworldly love. ___, I dare ponder if you asked about my past since you
cannot fully shed yours either. We have gone through so many names before landing on our current ones. Let's not squander them reviving old vices.

In the bottom corner is smaller character art pre-reincarnated Max holding flowers and looking at his future self.

The text reads: Comps
David Copperfield
- Turbulent coming of age
- Overreliance on love and marriage
- Search for home and found family
- The corruption of status and wealth

The Third Love
- Endless pursuit of love
- Questioning of societal norms
- Caught between different lives
- Bitter aftermath of a doomed relationship

The Names
- Contemplation of choices not taken
- A life cut short
- Fear of becoming one's parent
- The weight of a name/title

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE x CAN’T SPELL TREASON WITHOUT TEA with superheroes THIS REALITY AND THE NEXT features superhero partners to lovers, a Disney-esque True Love’s Kiss, a hockey romance, a mirror universe, and much more. #SEAsianPit #Q #F #SFF #R

THIS REALITY AND THE NEXT

adult cozy fantasy
84,000 words

The Pitch: Longtime superheroes Aura-Man and The Diplomat are ready to retire. Together. But when revealing their new relationship to the media incites public panic and the collapse of all realities, they’re thrust into one last mission: save the multiverse from a collapse of their own making.

Comp titles: Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea (early retirement, live-in partnership); Somewhere Beyond the Sea (public expectations, defying stereotypes); Marvel Cinematic Universe (Tony/Steve dynamic, multiverse adventure); and Good Omens (partners through time, us against the world mentality)

The excerpt: Time trickled like molasses. Andres paced the hospital floor, just outside the operating room where they wouldn’t let him follow. His rage had nowhere to go but through his feet. He wished he had something or someone else to punch.
It was so, so stupid. A pack of armed men? That was who took down Aura-Man? The great Lyric Grae, who had wiped out armies of reanimated corpses, who had taken down alien snakes and stopped the planet from getting knocked off its axis. He’d survived deep space, the depths of the ocean, and seventy days alone in the desert. Lyric Grae had endured so much in his life of service to the world; he did not deserve to go down like this.

Andres blamed himself.
