Never want to read another gay historical romance set in a world war because Ninety One Whiskey left me in absolute shambles and I don't know whether I'm afraid the experience won't ever be replicated or that it will.

General AU Notes at the End of the Chapter
Summary:
"Besides, your attendance is far more important than mine." Coriolanus purses his lips at that comment. Ah, yes, the true reason he must attend these blasted soirees.
Marriage.
------------------------------------------------------------
Enjoy
Before he makes his introduction, Coriolanus bumps into the hostess of the night's festivities, Lady Satyria Click.
"Lady Click," he nods to the older woman, "You look lovely tonight."
Satyria, one of the late Vicountess's lifelong friends, had always adored Coriolanus, even treating him as her own when the opportunity arose. He was quite certain she'd be happy to conduct an introduction between the newcomers, Clemensia, and him. If they were here, it meant they had at least been introduced to Satyria and made a... decent impression on the woman.
The Lady smiles, undoubtedly dazzled by the Viscount's compliment, "Oh, Coriolanus, you spoil me with your words." She extends her hand to him.
"I am merely speaking the truth, my Lady," he takes her gloved hand, kissing her knuckles briefly.
"Lady Heavensbee," Satyria says after a beat, nodding toward Coriolanus's companion, "You look quite well."
Clemensia smiles, "Thank you, Lady Click. As do you."
With the mandatory pleasantries out of the way, Coriolanus jumps into what he really wants from the Lady: "Lady Click, I was wondering if you had a spare moment for an introduction to your foreign guests." His eyes dart to the dark-haired man and his parents. He is happy to see the man still stealing glances in his direction.
"Oh!" Satyria looks towards the three, "Of course, Coriolanus. Let me lead the way."
The older Lady walks them toward the young man and his parents. Coriolanus notices how the mother seems to touch her son's back, instructing him without words to stand up straighter.
"Mr. and Mrs. Plinth," Satyria says, stopping before them, "How are you this evening?"
The older two smile affably at their host. The younger Plinth lets his eyes fall on Coriolanus once again, now close enough to truly look.
The older man speaks first, "We are wonderful." His eyes dart to Coriolanus and then briefly to his son.
"Excellent; I hope you are enjoying yourself so far," Satyria smiles, playing the hostess flawlessly.
"We are quite comfortable, Lady Click," the woman smiles, nodding, "Your home is very lovely."
"Thank you, Mrs. Plinth," Satyria beams, "My late husband had quite exquisite taste. He designed this entire home himself."
"Oh?" Mrs. Plinth looks genuinely interested, much to Coriolanus's surprise.
"Yes, he was quite the visionary... We can continue to speak about it after I've made my introductions," Satyria smiles, gesturing towards Coriolanus, "This is my dear friend, Viscount Coriolanus Snow," she gestures less magnificently toward Clemensia, "And this is Lady Clemensia Heavensbee."
"Strabo Plinth," the elder man nods, then motions towards his companions, "My wife and my son."
The woman smiles warmly, her eyes crinkling softly as she looks at Coriolanus, "It is a pleasure to meet all of you."
"The pleasure is all mine," Coriolanus says, taking Mrs. Plinth's hand and pressing a gentlemanly kiss against her gloved knuckles, "That is an extraordinary dress, madame. You truly have an eye for fashion."
He wondered which modiste pointed this woman in the direction of this fabric. The poor woman was certainly swindled.
Indeed, it was nothing less than stunning in its design and flow—but it hardly could be the woman's personal taste, he was certain.
Mrs. Plinth flushes lightly, "Thank you, Viscount."
The younger man doesn't hesitate to hold his hand toward Coriolanus when his mother finishes speaking.
Coriolanus glances at the hand held out, slightly appalled by the gesture. Was there no etiquette in the Americas? Nonetheless, he accepts the handshake even if it repulses him to stoop to such a common greeting.
"Sejanus," the man informs. It's another offense—much too informal for a man he's just meeting. Yet Coriolanus forgives the blunder, nodding in return.
"Viscount Snow," he replies. Just because Sejanus was improper hardly meant he had to be.
The small smile that jumps at the corner of Sejanus's lips irritates Coriolanus only slightly, as if Coriolanus's formal introduction amuses him.
"It's a pleasure meeting you, Viscount Snow," Sejanus plays along as if this is some sort of joke and not his actual proper title.
Still, he really needs to make this introduction matter, "The pleasure is all mine." The words drip off his lips with ease as he gives the American a charming smile. He's happy to note the smile causes a momentary pause in Sejanus's own, the barest of flushes staining his cheeks.
Coriolanus notes that Clemensia and Satyria seem content speaking with Mrs. Plinth, so he feels no guilt in continuing this... private conversation with Sejanus.
"So," Sejanus clears his throat, his eyes darting to the dancers on the floor, "Is there something one must do to get a dance at one of these parties?"
"Whatever do you mean?" Coriolanus frowns slightly, confused by the question. Was he asking him to dance, or was he asking��how to ask?
"Am I too forward by asking you for a dance so soon after an introduction, or is it quite acceptable?" Sejanus says, brown meeting blue a bit more confidently this time.
Coriolanus's stomach twists, not from disgust but interest in this blunt newcomer who wasted no time. He wonders briefly if he's being made fun of.
"You wish to dance with me?" Coriolanus asks, needing clarification. He refuses to be made a fool by this man, and the best way to avoid that is to force the man to be painfully transparent with him.
"You're not with someone, right? The Lady... Heavensbee is Hilarius's wife, correct?" Sejanus asks, making sure he's not made a mistake asking an accompanied man to dance.
"She is," Coriolanus nods, "You know Hilarius?"
"Briefly. No more than an-- introduction for business," Sejanus responds frankly, "But, does that mean you are here... alone?"
There's a hint in those words, an inquiry into his status at the party and, more importantly, his marital status.
"I am," Coriolanus responds, "I suppose I can... fit you in for a dance."
Sejanus tilts his head, that irritatingly amused smile on his face again, "Oh, is there a queue already in place?"
The Viscount bites his tongue briefly, "Are you teasing me?"
His eyes crinkle, and his smile only broadens: "I wouldn't dream of teasing you, Viscount."
After a beat of silence, Coriolanus unable to think of a response, the brunet holds out his gloved hand with a warm smile, "So, may I have this dance?"
"You may," Coriolanus finally agrees, placing his hand in Sejanus's outstretched one.
Sejanus grins, allowing the sight of his dimpled cheeks to show to the Viscount. The authenticity of the smile, so warm and unpretentious, brings a flush to Coriolanus's cheeks. He's furious that this practical stranger has forced such a reaction from him. There's never been a time in his life when he's been reduced to-- such ridiculous responses, such as blushing.
He wasn't sure he liked it one bit.
General AU Notes:
1. There's no homophobia in this Regency Era AU. Marrying someone of the same gender isn't uncommon or discouraged. It's normal for these people. 2. Coriolanus is bisexual. I think it's important to point out because it's often hinted at. But, again, it's not uncommon or odd for a man to marry a man or a woman to marry a woman in this AU. BUT, it's also important to note that Coriolanus would marry ANYONE if it meant he'd gain a fortune. 3. Coriolanus is British, Sejanus is American. This is Regency England. There is no Panem in this AU. 4. The one big thing I kept from Canon is that the Snow's are poor but act wealthy (in this AU it's because they hold a title in society).
I'll add more if needed!

He knows that we exist in a world that is forever changing. A world where a single moment is never to exist in the same way again. It isn't possible to get a breath that you took before back. He wished that he could though. He wished so hard that it hurt him. That it broke his soul. But he never stopped because his heart was still steady. He wished for days, months, years, and yet. He hoped that it was possible, that in this ever-changing world that their moment could happen again.

All of Kakashi's friends have one thing in common: they do not give a fuck about their reputation. They do not care what you think of them. Kakashi and Gai are as eccentric as they come and most of what you say to them is going to just slide right off and Kurenai and Asuma will just straight up shrug you off for questioning their feelings, motives etc [see: them ignoring Iruka's prodding at chuunin exams]
So it's like. Oh you're afraid of "Friend Killer" Kakashi? You think he's weird and violent and he gives you the creeps? Huh. Maybe you're the weirdo here because I saw him crying over "Ninja Love 3: Magistrate's Revenge" about 10 times just last night in the cinema. Do you know he uses the baby voice on his dogs? He yelled at me for 3 hours once for not eating enough. He gives great massages after a work out. Etc etc
#naruto#kakashi hatake#might gai#kurenai yuhi#asuma sarutobi#jounin friendship circle#'ninja love' is a made up historical romance drama I created in my head purely for kakashi#it's like the 'steel samurai' of my naruto fics now LMAOOOO#maybe if I actually posted my naruto fics you'd get to see that insanity but alas!

He's got a cover! May I please introduce A Gentleman's Gentleman, out March 11, 2025 from Vintage Books.
You can help support my m/m trans historical romance right now, though! Please consider preordering from your bookshop of choice, adding it to your to-read list on GoodReads or Storygraph, or requesting your local library procure a copy (that's ISBN 9780593686201 in the US, 9780008716332 in the UK).
Note to UK folks: your version will be titled The Earl Meets His Match and will have a different cover (TBD).
Synopsis:
From the acclaimed author of Chef's Kiss, a groundbreaking trans Regency romance that's both delightfully witty and refreshingly iconoclastic. The notoriously eccentric Lord Christopher Eden is a “man of unusual make” and even more unusual habits: he prefers to live far from the prying eyes and ears of the ton, and would rather have the comfortable company of his childhood cook and his aged butler than the swarm of servants and hangers-on befitting a man of his station. But Christopher’s pleasant, if occasionally lonely life is upended when he receives word from his lawyers that, according to his late father’s will, he must find a wife by the end of the Season if he intends to keep his family’s fortune and the Eden estate. Christopher cannot imagine a worse fate: as he isn’t attracted to women, his chances of making a wife happy are slim. Furthermore, if his quest to marry has any hope of succeeding, he must move to London posthaste and acquire some more suitable staff. Enter James Harding, Christopher’s new, distractingly handsome—if rigidly traditional—valet. After a rocky start, the two strike up a fragile friendship amid the throes of the London Season . . . a friendship that threatens to shatter under the looming shadow of Christopher’s impending nuptials—and the secrets both men are keeping. With its heady combination of dry wit, slow-burn romance, and a nuanced portrait of trans identity, A Gentleman’s Gentleman stands to transform the historical romance genre as we know it.

They've been fighting their entire lives, even when the war is over. Most of these books feature fictional retired heroes or soldiers, but a couple of them are nonfiction which focus on queers in WW1 and WW2.
