This is me but usually my cupcakes did seriously do some damage. All Marius is damaging is his skin from getting wrinkles with all his frowning.

Also, really really super 👀 to see how exactly Marius kills him in that version of the book.

"Then Elliot hooked an ankle behind Jase’s foot and sent him flying backward onto the bed."

The thing about Elliot that I admire is that this scene shows that Elliot is capable of being good at violence if he wanted to learn. He CHOOSES not to because his pacifism is not the product of inability or lack of potential but his genuine belief that violence is not the answer to all problems and should be avoided at all cost (bedroom shenanigans notwithstanding).

My first #fanartfriday in a while - go to the fabulous @c_leadraw to see the close-up on Luke and Elliot’s faces. The wings are such a beautiful frame and make them look like an illustration in a fairytale. Filled with joy today after a lovely @morningtransport chat: it was so nice to see people caring for the #InOtherLands short story and characters, and asking after #LongLiveEvil as well. I still haven’t quite worked out how to talk about my new book, but I was so honoured to see affection for past books and hope and speculation for the future. Thanks gemstones. 🥰🥳😍 #authorsofinstagram #sarahreesbrennan #lgbtreads #sunbrat https://www.instagram.com/p/CoxnN9Vrm6d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Swordcrossed - UK cover reveal

THE SWORDS. THE DRAMA. THE PINK AND GREEN.

(I am, no lie, wearing a pink & green striped jumper today and it was entirely unintentional. it's just a perfect colour combination.)

UK preorder links

The inestimable @sarahreesbrennan was hypnotised via dastardly means into reading it, and said, "Freya Marske's books catch my heart with a butterfly net, because I believe in her characters so utterly . . . Swordcrossed proves there's nothing in fantasy – or queer romance – Marske can't do."

And if you've only just wandered in here and are wondering what the hell the book's about (beyond......swords. crossing.), read on:

Mattinesh Jay, dutiful heir to his struggling family business, needs to hire an experienced swordsman to serve as best man for his arranged marriage. Sword-challenge at the ceremony could destroy all hope of restoring his family’s wealth, something that Matti has been trying – and failing – to do for the past ten years. What he can afford, unfortunately, is part-time con artist and full-time charming menace Luca Piere. Luca, for his part, is trying to reinvent himself in a new city. All he wants to do is make some easy money and try to forget the crime he committed in his home town. He didn’t plan on being blackmailed into giving sword lessons to a chronically responsible – and inconveniently handsome – wool merchant like Matti. However, neither Matti’s business troubles nor Luca himself are quite what – or who – they seem. As the days to Matti’s wedding count down, the two of them become entangled in the intrigue and sabotage that have brought Matti’s house to the brink of ruin. And when Luca’s secrets threaten to drive a blade through their growing alliance, both Matti and Luca will have to answer the question: how many lies are you prepared to strip away when the truth could mean losing everything you want?

(tl;dr - two disasters fall in love! freya did a lot of research about the wool industry and is going to show it off! and someone does, in fact, put the point of their sword under someone else's chin.)

Elliot Schafers Valentines day card to his bird boo

[sarahreesbrennan]

It’s not #fanartfriday but I am sharing this wonderful art by yellowraincoat on tumblr to celebrate Part 1 of the #inotherlands short story, Tears Waiting to Be Diamonds. Go to my substack (in my bio) for how to read the tale of Prince Mark, the misfits cabin and their presiding redheaded menace, for free. In Other Lands is very dear to me because through dark years of illness and self-doubt, readers’ love for that book reminded me of the joy of sharing stories. So here’s a gift I hope you enjoy, readers. Here are Luke and Elliot, agreeing in their own unique way. And here’s to telling stories and telling secrets. I have a few more of both… #lukesunborn #elliotschafer #sunbrat #sarahreesbrennan #authorsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CnKhlGIrO1s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Long Live Evil by Sarah Rees Brennan

Absolutely devoured this book. I could see influences from Korean 'I got reincarnated as the villainess' style manhwa, and it was SO WELL COMBINED WITH SARAH REES BRENNAN CRACK HUMOR. I cackled, I cried; I'M READY FOR BOOK 2.

Thank you so much for writing this, @sarahreesbrennan. Before reading your author's note, I didn't know you had spent years battling stage 4 cancer. The way you brought in your personal experience of it to make Rae feel real was amazing. But most importantly, I'm so glad you're at a healthier place now. I've been reading your books since I was in middle school (all the way since The Demon's Lexicon), and you are an inspiration. <3<3<3
