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!

"It would set a pretty bad example." She was mostly bad examples. Resting her hands on his arms, she just let herself enjoy this moment. "But if you think I've done something wrong, I'm sure we can work out a plea."

Graham laughed, and rested his hands at her waist, her smile was beautiful, everything about her was beautiful, but he liked to see her smile. It was like the sun coming out from behind a cloud, as cheesy and cliché as that was.

"Right, don't want to get arrested again." Graham teased, pulling her a little closer by her waist.

I am legitimately so proud of all I have done in teaching this week.

❗❗❗ (for Emma)

Send " ❗❗❗ " for your muse to suddenly and unexpectedly kiss mine.

Laughing at one of Smee's jokes, she didn't expect for Killian to kiss her. Her laugh quieted to a hum and she set her hand against his neck. "Mm. What was that for?" She grinned.

"Oh, yeah?" She sat down and reached out, grabbing one of his fries. He had a point, she would have left with Frank if she'd wanted to. "So what was it?" She popped the fry into her mouth, smiling at him.

"I do not do a thing with my fingers." He said. "What makes you think that I'm not pondering something your boy asked me." He said. "Who you talk with is your business. I think you and I know if you were interested you wouldn't be back here with me."

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

🧵 Routine, repeat

[morethanweseem]

Tilting her head, smiling a bit, Emma took a long breath and then forced it out. "You are always going to be scared. From now until...forever? I guess?" She chuckled softly. "You don't have a choice about it. Not anymore."

@morethanweseem cont from my open starter

"Yeah but if something happened to Robyn or Roland I just gave them back to their parent. Now I'm the parent! If something happens I have to figure out how to fix it!"

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.

one thing i love about the silt verses is that like, it's been so long since i've had the "this is the best thing i have ever experienced and i have full trust in the creators to deliver" with a podcast--the last one was alice isnt dead

and i've loved podcasts since then, and not every podcast needs to be, or can be, that--but god there's something about the feeling of putting on my headphones for the next episode of tsv that's just Next Level

season three is gonna destroy me and i'm so ready
