"The women in the courtyard have no faces." #1stLinePit #H #OS #horroromance #lgbtq

“The first time I see the ghost of my husband’s first wife is the night I marry him.” LIGEIA RETELLING x SJTR x TSBU #1stLinePit #ya #wip #f #h

“She hadn’t expected to find love in this world anymore. This harsh world, where everything was scarce, but love most of all. Love, she thought, was a privilege for those who had no worries about their survival.” Mistborn x Inheritance Cycle #1stLinePit #WIP #F #CMe

Eldrion had a way of swallowing itself whole. Her apothecary opens after dark, where deals are whispered over potions. But tonight, she’s not making the deals. She’s paying the price. #WIP #F #R #S #A #1stLinePit

“There is a scar in the ocean where a god made her last stand. Beyond its dark waters, where the sea bed is charred black, lie the remains of a hundred galleons and the graves of a thousand ghosts, held forever at the moment of their drowning.” #1stLinePit #WIP #A #F
