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.

Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune

The long-awaited sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea is a story of resistance, lovingly told, about the daunting experience of fighting for the life you want to live and doing the work to keep it. Welcome back to Marsyas Island—home to six magical and purportedly dangerous children. This is Arthur’s story.

Concept Character Art- "Linus Baker & Arthur Parnassus" Been wanting to draw the characters from one of my favorite books, "The House in the Cerulean Sea" by TJ Klune for some time now! Starting with Linus and Arthur!

And again the moment from 16 chapter of “the house in the cerulean sea”

I so much love Arthur Parnassus 🥺❤️

Everyone go read the house in the cerulean sea and then the sequel somewhere beyond the sea it needs a bigger fandom. Perfect if you like good omens, our flag means death, queer romance, and the found family trope (and if you hate jk rowling).

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune 🌻 I am smitten with this book

[thistledonicely]

I feel like TJ Klune has really tapped into the boundless queer yearning to have love and sanctuary, and a funny little house.

[waywarder]

I just love that we get Arthur Parnassus as the all-time queer kind, patient, flawed-but-working-on-himself-and-acknowledging-his-own-worthiness phoenix mentor whom the youth need and deserve.

Fuck off FOREVER, Albus Dumbledore.

I just finished Somewhere Beyond The Sea by TJ Klune, the sequel to The House In The Cerulean Sea. I was supposed to be studying for uni, but I just couldn't put it down. And the acknowledgements... that's the bit that made me cry. Thank you so much, TJ Klune. An incredible book, highly relevant and simultaneously beautiful and timeless.

[destialpal]

I need everyone to understand how important Chauncey Baker-Parnassus is to me

[collidedscope]

if there’s one thing i know about tj klune, it’s that he loves to write about a cool-ass house in the middle of nowhere

“You silly, delightful man. There is nothing to be sorry for. You fought for us.” - Arthur, THE HOUSE IN THE CERULEAN SEA by TJ Klune

Here is my contribution to Our Favorite Scene Zine latest edition, which compiled over 20 artists’ interpretations of the reunion scene from THE HOUSE IN THE CERULEAN SEA. This book was my first inroad to TJ’s staggering body of work, and remains one of my comfort books at times when my faith in humanity is challenged, or when parenting two smarty-pants gets particularly hard. 😅 From the outset, I wanted to focus on the kids’ reactions to Arthur and Linus’s reunion, because love is something that children inherit from their grownups, and that joy multiplies as they grow up in safe and accepting spaces. I hope you like how it came out. 💕

[inndelibles]

Can’t remember who I saw post it (if it was you pls lmk so I can credit you!!) but I remember seeing a post saying if THITCS series ever had a live action adaption, Michael Sheen and David Tennant should be Linus and Arthur respectively, and just. Yes. Absolutely.

Edit: This appears to be a very popular idea which means we are all correct 😎
