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!

Ik I’m supposed to dislike lance stroll but I just, can’t. He was a kid who had a dream, his father had the means to make it happen. I don’t have a kid, but I do have a brother who’s a lot younger than me, and I can tell you, If I had the money to make all his dreams come true, I’d do it in a heartbeat. Lawrence stroll is just a dad who could make his kids dream come true.

Not to mention!!!! Lance isn’t even that bad a driver!!! He came first in two of his junior series. If he was truly a bad driver we’d see him at the back of the grid consistently, guess what. We don’t. No matter how good a car is it can’t account for a bad driver. Lance stroll is not an awful driver. He’s not the best driver on the grid, but I don’t think he’s the worst on the grid either

Martin MonsterFuc(K)er Blackwood at it again.

Dragon!Jon stimming with his split tongue is too fucking cute. I didn’t expect him to look like such a sad puppy when I drew the first panel, but I’m obsessed.

There’s a third NSFW follow-up pic here ❤️

Happy Halloween!

Only Murders in the Building said in their second episode that the key to a successful crime drama is to make the audience care about the victim.

And by golly they've successfully done that for five damn seasons.

Yes I said five.

George Martin on John and Paul

"They were intensely close".

"Paul would do almost anything for John".

"John Lennon and Paul McCartney in particular were extremely good friends; they loved one another, really. They shared a spirit of adventure, a modest little childhood ambition: they were going to go out and conquer the world. They egged each other on, and helped each other if they got stuck. When John wanted to escape suburbia, he would drive up and spend the night at Paul’s."

"The disruption really came with the women. When you have very close personal relationships between two men and one of them goes off and gets a girl there's divergence.'

“Such an odd couple really, because they were different and yet very similar. Both had big egos, both very good songwriters - but they needed each other like mad.”

[mag200]

the lonely and the corruption as opposite sides of a coin, directly opposed ways of coping with an unbearable loneliness and longing for love. you can lean into whatever toxic love that’s available to you even as it entirely consumes you - or you can lean into the indulgence of deep and delicious and martyring solitude. jane prentiss banging down martins door day in day out, come out and be loved, it will be awful but it will be complete. of course martin stays in his little room, entirely cut off from the world, unable to get help, and sits with himself and his thoughts and jane’s knocking for fourteen days. it was always going to be the lonely or the corruption making a play for him.

Okay so Magnus Archives is a fantastic podcast and the writing is great but consider: everyone is queer as hell and also alive and happy and nothing bad happens ever
