#Ace Romance

[galamalion]

꒰ა໒꒱ ‧₊˚ ace in the bedroom﹕

ace is ungodly horny.

at least twice a day he'll not-so-subtly proposition you for a quickie, or maybe he'll just start the morning by grinding his hard cock between your soft thighs.

he'll never pass down on eating you out, absolutely devouring your poor cunt until you're crying and and pulling on his dark locks.

ace loves fingering your cunt, absolutely adoring the wet sounds his fingers make as he goes in and out and in and out and in—

the constant whining from ace would be unbearable if you were still cognizant, but you're way too overstimulated to hear all of his moans, telling you how tight and wet you are, how good you feel, how badly he needs to paint your walls with his cum.

the constant thrusting and slapping goes on for hours as ace unloads himself into you, like he hasn't had sex in years. and his stamina never seems to stop, only begging you for just one more round. oh? he said that last time? he swears to you that this is for sure the last round.

your legs may be numb after ace finally finishes, but his love for you (and guilt) is so strong that he'll take action and clean you up, anything you need he will fight tooth and nail to bring it to you (he will 100% fight thatch to get you that cake.)

ace thinks with his dick, but you have a special place in his heart.

Many people tend to think of Asexual romance as being... something that just doesn't exist

(ie. People assuming a couple in a movie aren't a couple until they make it official with a big kiss!)

But really, Asexual Romance can look something like this-

This is from my autobio GN 'How to be Ace'

I've also got an explicitly Ace Romance going on between the two main characters in Paupers Prince too:

Presently, we only know that Alfred is Ace- John has trauma and is in denial about it lol

But I look forward to sharing a full on romance where the Ace experience is at the center, rather than non existent or interpretational 💜🖤💜🖤

There may not be many Asexual Romances in TV or film, but there's quite a lot in books! Here's a few of my reccs below (cos I posted this on IG first lol) Do you have any favourites? 😄

Queer fiction, day 24/30

I think everyone on Tumblr has heard of Murderbot already, you know? I'm not breaking any ground here. But I want to look at it for a minute anyway.

Murderbot is the sort of book that people tell their nerd friends about. It started as a few novellas, and I think really spread by word of mouth--meaning it was a while between when I first heard about it and when I started to see it reflected in "the press" (whatever that is, I'm not exactly reading the New York Times Review of Books over here, and it's not like the New Yorker would publish something about anything as interesting as this). Murderbot is a cyborg who works as a bodyguard (a SecUnit--security unit) in a future capitalistic society. It doesn't want to do any bodyguarding. It wants to watch soap operas.

That's the set up. By the time you get to the novel, which is book 5, you're pretty used to the general formula of the stories--Murderbot for some reason goes somewhere, Murderbot meets some humans it feels it has to protect, Murderbot...investigates a problem and does some murdering...Murderbot leaves.

In this book, for Plot Reasons, Murderbot winds up on a ship that was its...friend (ART)? Except the vessel's personality/mind seem to have been deleted. Murderbot has a lot of feelings about this.

Okay, so before I read this book, I felt like--how do you write an asexual romance? And now I know. Because they definitely have feelings for each other. And they are definitely not going to have sex, not the least because one of them is a transport ship.

I don't know exactly what to say about this book except that it is violent and adorable in equal measures. The voice is excellent. The plot is twisty. The feeling that people are fighting for good is delicious. 10/10, go read.

Key quote:

"Just remember you’re not alone here." I never know what to say to that. I am actually alone in my head, and that’s where 90 plus percent of my problems are.

˚ ୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆ ace taking care of you on your period﹕

ace would give anything to get rid of your pms.

you're torn between wanting to bawl your eyes out and wanting to scream bloody murder at the next person you see. you're craving sweets but your poor stomach feels so swollen and the headaches just don't stop.

it breaks ace's heart seeing you like this, knowing there's little he can do to stop your body from performing its monthly duties. but he will try his absolute best to ease your pain.

ace will sneak little snacks while thatch isn't looking, whatever you're craving he will sacrifice his safety to retrieve from that cook's kitchen.

he's hauling cool water to your lodge so you don't have to take a step, bringing you a curly straw in an attempt to cheer you up. he attempts to bring you some ice as well, but it melted on his way back...

and you best believe that ace will massage any area of your body. warm hands will firmly press into your sore spots to push any aches out, flooding a comfortable heat into your most painful zones.

ace's devil fruit is to thank for that, his arms beating out the warmth of any blanket any day. it comes especially in handy for those blasted cramps, his strong hands resting on your stomach and chasing them away. he'll hold you in a loose embrace (for your own comfort) and rub small circles into your most inflamed areas.

it doesn't matter what your symptoms are like during this time, ace isn't one to back out without a fight.

Paupers Prince 11 pt 4

Please see #paupersprince11 for previous and future updates~

There isn't any 'normal' way in which you get closer to someone. Some people are more physical, some aren't. Some need to get physical before they're comfortable enough to open up emotionally, some people prefer it the other way round, or no physical connection at all. We're all different, and just gotta find what works for us <3

I wish there was a really good ACE dating website. There’s no way of dating irl and without people thinking I’m “weird” and the ace apps that are out are like abandon lol if anything I just want someone I can fucking talk to omg

[incompleteninny]

The one-hundredth free, unedited chapter of my upcoming book, “The Heist at Cordia Aquarium” is now available on its website (or click https://www.kitfisto.gay/chapters/thea to read from the beginning).

Three sit in a circle: Frank and Thea in a chair; Waylon cross-legged on the gravel. Thea looks about for Bamboo, but the cat is gone. Asleep at the foot of Elia's bed if she's lucky. Thea, though, feels far from lucky. She stares across an expanse of gravel and into the eyes of a wanted man. Is he wanted, though? Maybe they let him out early for good behavior. Unfolding his legs, Waylon props up his knees. Waiting. Her stomach won't relent. Squirming, roiling. She chokes the cane lain across her lap in a bid to force it from her mind. "S-so, h-how did you find me, exactly?" "Your landlord." Waylon says. Frank bobs his head and speaks to himself. "Um-hum. She's talkative." [...]

QUEER ROMANCE TO SPICE UP YOUR VALENTINE’S | RECOMMENDATIONS

In the mood to spend your Valentine’s curled up with a good romance book? Here are some recommendations with non-binary, asexual and sapphic leads.

1. Love & Other Disasters by Anita Kelly | 2022 | 368 p. | f/nb | 🌶️🌶️

The first openly nonbinary contestant on America’s favorite cooking show falls for their clumsy competitor in this delicious romantic comedy debut “that is both fantastically fun and crack your heart wide open vulnerable. (Rosie Danan, Storygraph)

Starting off with one of my favourite romance reads of last year, Love & Other Disasters is a delicious romance in multiple ways. It focuses on the main characters’ struggles and dreams, and you’re bound to be rooting for them the entire way. The f/nb romance is both heartwarming and sexy, and with its competitive setting, it surely is impossible to put down!

2. The Romantic Agenda by Claire Kann | 2022 | 336 p. | ace f/m | 🌶️

Thirty, flirty, and asexual Joy is secretly in love with her best friend Malcolm, but she’s never been brave enough to say so. When he unexpectedly announces that he’s met the love of his life—and no, it’s not Joy—she’s heartbroken. Malcolm invites her on a weekend getaway, and Joy decides it’s her last chance to show him exactly what he’s overlooking. But maybe Joy is the one missing something…or someone…and his name is Fox. (Storygraph)

My second favourite romance of last year won’t reel you in with spicy scenes, but does a rather incredible job portraying intimacy between two gorgeous love interests. Asexual representation is still lacking in romance novels but Claire Kann proves that there absolutely should be more of. The fake dating trope used is the cherry on top for this wonderful romance that I won’t stop recommending. Perfect summery read to start counting down to warmer days. (Full review can be found here.)

3. Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner | 2022 | 404 p. | f/f | 🌶️🌶️🌶️

A sharp and sexy rom-com about a college senior who accidentally hooks up with her best friend’s mom. What should have been a one-time fling quickly proves impossible to ignore, and soon Cassie and Erin are sneaking around. Worst of all, they start to realize they have something real. But is being honest about the love between them worth the cost? (Storygraph)

Mistakes Were Made is the total package if you want it all this Valentine’s: amazing humor, exciting romance, and an abundance of steamy scenes. Probably the most binge-worthy book on this list, I highly doubt you would need anything more to fall in love. Despite the slightly scandalous romance, the conflict never takes away from the enjoyment. For any MILF lover: this book is made for you!

4. For Her Consideration by Amy Spalding | 2023 | 320 p. | f/f | 🌶️

When an aspiring L.A. scriptwriter falls head-over-heels for a bossy and beautiful movie star after a devastating break-up, the two take a risk on love and cast themselves as the leading ladies of their own star-struck romance in this sweet and spirited love story from critically-acclaimed writer Amy Spalding in her adult debut. (Netgalley, Storygraph)

If you’d prefer to buy yourself a new book instead of reading something, then this is for you! Releasing 21 February, For Her Consideration is a relatable and swoonworthy sapphic romance fully coated in Hollywood dreams and sapphic film culture. It has great plus-size representation and fun side characters, making the book really awesome, both with and without the romance. (Full review can be found here.)

5. Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree | 2022 | 318 p. | f/f

Worn out after decades of packing steel and raising hell, Viv the orc barbarian cashes out of the warrior’s life with one final score. A forgotten legend, a fabled artifact, and an unreasonable amount of hope lead her to the streets of Thune, where she plans to open the first coffee shop the city has ever seen. A hot cup of fantasy slice-of-life with a dollop of romantic froth. (Storygraph)

Last but not least, the perfect cosy recommendation for anyone who loves a cute romance without it being the entire genre. The sapphic romance in this is very slow burn and while they’re slowly falling in love, you’re bound to fall head over heels with the book in its entirety. Nothing better than a book that feels like a hot cup of coffee to cuddle up in bed with.

When Remi came back to Clover Hill, they didn't plan on dating at all. After all, they're ace, and while they're unashamed of it, finding the right time to tell someone that a date isn't leading to the bedroom can get tricky. Plus, they're only planning on being back for a month at the most, right?

But the nice guy from their mom's book club is also sick of being set up, and maybe if they fake date for a while, everyone will get off their back when they "break up." Probably. Hopefully. This fake dating ace romance is available on Kindle Unlimited, and in paperback and ebook. Get it here (affiliate link).

The Heartbreak Handshake is part of the Clover Hill universe. All books are set in the same small town, and you'll see cameos from other books, but each one can be read as a standalone.
