Rakesfall by @adamantine

They met as children in the middle of the Sri Lankan civil war. Later, in a demon-haunted wood, an act of violence linked them and propelled their souls on a journey through the ages. As they reincarnate ever deeper into the future, a truth emerges: Some stories take more than one lifetime to tell.

Running Close to the Wind by @ariaste

In this queer pirate fantasy, Avra Helvaçi has accidentally stolen the single most expensive secret in the world. To avoid capture, he flees to the open sea, where only his on-again, off-again ex aka pirate Captain Teveri az-Ḥaffār can help him survive, profit, and become a legend.

Cuckoo by Gretchen Felker-Martin

Something evil is buried deep in the desert. It wants your body and wears your skin. Welcome to Camp Resolution, a queer conversion center where everyone leaves a different person. In 1995, seven queer teens were abandoned here by their parents, but survived. Sixteen years later, they’re scarred and broken, but back to face an evil that threatens the world. 

Kinning by Nisi Shawl

In this alternate history where barkcloth airships soar and former colonies claim freedom from imperialist tyrants, the identity of the island of Everfair still wavers. Victorious in the wake of the Great War, a new threat looms. Can Everfair continue to serve as a symbol of hope for anticolonial movements around the world, or will it fall to forces within and without? 

Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by @rebeccathornewrites

Can one of the Queen’s private guard and the most powerful mage in existence leave their lives behind to settle down in their new bookshop that serves tea? This cozy fantasy is steeped in sapphic romance and nestled on the edge of dragon country. 

The Fragile Threads of Power by V. E. Schwab

Once there were four worlds, nestled like pages in a book, each pulsing with fantastical power and connected by a single city: London. After a desperate attempt to prevent corruption and ruin in the four Londons, there are only three. Now the worlds are going to collide anew—brought to a dangerous precipice by the discoveries of three remarkable magicians.

Now available in paperback!

The Archive Undying by @emcandon

This is a story about misplaced faith, complicated love, so much self-loathing, and yeah—giant robots. Plugged into his AI god when its apocalyptic corruption renders him unfortunately immortal, sad gay disaster Sunai takes a die-again-or-die-trying approach to things. Unending life’s tough when intimacy is somehow scarier even than either of the warring police states set on turning you into a weapon or the rogue undead mecha-fragment of your old god that wants to eat you. 

Now available in paperback!

The Bell in the Fog by Lev AC Rosen

A dazzling historical mystery that dives into the shadowy, closeted world of the Navy, emerging in the gay bars of the city. It’s a whirlpool of missing people, violent strangers, and scandalous photos in 1952 San Francisco. 

Now available in paperback!

⠀⠀⠀⠀ “ah, eu conheço um lugar!” emma anunciou com uma determinação quase divertida, já assumindo a liderança enquanto o puxava pelo braço. guiou os dois pelo salão iluminado, desviando com naturalidade de grupos animados e olhares curiosos. assim que muse mencionou ter algo importante a dizer, mas reclamou da quantidade de ouvidos ao redor, ela não perdeu tempo - depois eu te falo é uma frase que emma simplesmente não consegue suportar. passos apressados os levaram até uma área próxima à piscina, onde o som da festa se tornava apenas um eco distante, e o jardim ao redor criava um refúgio acolhedor. “pronto, aqui ninguém vai ouvir,” afirmou com confiança, virando-se para muse. “só euzinha mesmo!” a risada leve que escapou logo em seguida entregava o entusiasmo dela. deu uma olhada rápida ao redor, como se quisesse garantir que estavam mesmo sozinhos, antes de cruzar os braços e inclinar levemente a cabeça. o brilho nos olhos deixava claro o quanto ela estava investida naquela conversa, ansiosa para saber o que muse tinha a dizer. “então… o que você queria falar?” perguntou, a voz cheia de expectativa enquanto encarava muse com toda a atenção possível.

closed starter: emma cicciaro!! (@amadouers)

location: marina market

the vibrant energy of the marina market was almost overwhelming — the air thick with the smell of fresh pastries, sea salt, and a hint of something floral from a nearby bouquet stall. serin moved through the crowd with her usual composed confidence, her heels clicking softly against the walkway. she wore a crisp white blazer and a matching silk blouse, the look sharp enough to draw a few admiring glances but casual enough for her to pass it off as effortless. she stopped at a stall selling artisanal candles, her eyes scanning the rows of neatly arranged jars with the faintest hint of curiosity. the vendor began to speak, but serin barely registered the words, distracted by the sudden awareness of someone stepping into her peripheral vision. it only took a glance to recognize her — emma cicciaro. the memory of winter wonderland flashed in serin’s mind: the warm glow of holiday lights, the faint smell of mulled wine, and the teasing smirk emma had worn like a second skin. that brief, playful exchange had been unexpected, and she had initially brushed it off at the time as nothing more than a fleeting distraction. but now, seeing her again, here of all places, felt deliberate. her lips curved into a faint smirk, the kind that hid more than it revealed, as she picked up a candle labeled amber & spice, holding it up as though inspecting it. without turning fully toward emma, she spoke, her tone cool but unmistakably amused. "of all the people I expected to see today, you weren’t even on the list. not complaining though."

wow, would you look at that, I'm not dead!!

Anyway, I've been working on some expression charts/mini references for the tangled threads universe (aka the threadverse) and I'm finally done!! I have 105 characters here. enjoy!

(please note that I didn't pick expressions, I spun a wheel with all the names and just drew the next expression)

This is every single character that is currently canon in the threadverse. I would yap about art commentary but like. no thanks <3

Queer Books for Pride Month:

"All The Painted Stars" by Emma Denny

This is book two from The Barden Series and if you like badass lesbians, pretending to be knights in the 14th century, this one's definetly for you.

Presonally, I loved every second of this book.

Watching Lily and Jo go from friends to lovers was so hearwarming and touching. Their characters are incredibly distinct and well-rounded. They have good chemistry and play off each other really well.

The book is also written so beautifully and sometimes even poetically.

And I loved the journey of both characters finding their own happiness and figuring out how they want to live their lives.

I would recommend reading One Night in Hartswood first, even though this can be read as a stand-alone. It'll help fill out the blanks and give more context to the story.
