So excited to announce my next book!!! If you've never read any of my books before, no worries--this is a standalone, so you can jump right in without any extra context. (And for fans of my previous books, great news! This book is set in the same world, and it's even in the same region as the two novellas SOME BY VIRTUE FALL and THE LIGHTS OF YSTRAC'S WOOD, so you'll recognize some familiar worldbuilding :D) SUMMARY: Tam Becket has hated Lord Lyford since they were boys. The fact that heā€™s also been sleeping with the man for the last ten years is irrelevant. When they were both nine years old, Lyford smashed Tamā€™s entry into the villageā€™s vegetable competition. Nearly twenty years later, Tam still hasnā€™t forgiven the bastard. No one understands how deeply he was hurt that day, how it set a pattern of small disappointments and misfortunes that would run through the rest of his life. Now Tam has reconciled himself to the fact that love and affection are for other people, that the gods donā€™t care and wonā€™t answer any of his prayers (not even the one about afflicting Lyford with a case of flesh-eating spiders to chew off his privates), and that life is inherently mundane, joyless, and drab. But then, the very last straw: Tam discovers that Lyford (of all people!) bears the divine favor of Angarat, the goddess Tam feels most betrayed and abandoned by. In his hurt and anger, Tam packs up and prepares to leave the village for good. But the journey doesnā€™t take him far, and Tam soon finds himself set on a quest for the most difficult of all possible prizes: Self care, forgiveness, a second chance... and somehow the unbelievably precious knowledge that there is at least one person who loves Tam for exactly who he isā€”and always has.
This book might be for you if:
You like enemies-to-lovers but you think it would be improved by being one-sided and meanwhile the other person is living through a "hopelessly yearning for childhood crush" trope
you like it when two people are so, so, so stupid that they've been fucking for 10 years and Person A hasn't figured out that Person B is in love with him, and Person B hasn't realized that Person A doesn't even know about his feelings
You know how fucking hard it is to Do The Work In Therapy and you want some catharsis about it
you want to read about an imperfect, truly difficult person who still gets loved, because being perfect is not a requirement to deserve affection and care
you know that apologizing for wronging someone doesn't just magically take away the bad feelings and automatically repair the relationship, and you want to read about someone having to do the extra steps that come after the apology
this one's for the wlw: fat harvest goddess milf. my gift to u
you like gods who don't have anything better to do than stick their noses into human business
when you see a gorgeous man holding an infant, it takes you out at the knees
you like queernorm fantasy AND small-town gossip, and you find the intersection of the two delicious and intriguing
a religion based on pre-Christian Brythonic England. That is, they've got henges and standing stones instead of churches and altars. it's cool
plant magic!!!!!
"god of temptation and evil" actually "god of self-care and personal boundaries and taking responsibility for the consequences you consented to".
Stay tuned for the cover reveal next month, when general preorders will go live! If you're already excited and you want to make sure you don't miss that announcement, you can sign up for my newsletter or join my Discord server: https://linktr.ee/alexandrarowland.

This is based on a scene from a fanfic called Varian's Tangled Trials by @IFoundYouJustineTime and TheArtistsMuse. You can read it on Ao3.

I HAVE FINISHED THE ENTIRE OVERALL LIFE SERIES KILL COUNTā€¼ļøā€¼ļø
I started at 3pm with a break for a quick scran and it is now 11pm. My back hurts, I need to sleep for days long, my eyes hurt and my fingers have cramped three times from scrolling through the Limited life death list like 20 different times.
Iā€™ll release the final results once Wild Life has finished so we can have an up to date version. Iā€™ll also probably include another in which it takes in the Real Life kills into account as well.
To be clear on why this took so long I was listing off their kills specifically on who it was they killed. Also some of the counts were off on the wiki so I wanted to do it properly. Which meant doing it manually.

assigning my favorite pjo characters songs based on vibes :))
ignore the lyrics in these. itā€™s vibes. all vibes. rythm, melody, motifs, instruments
this somehow (unsurprisingly, because itā€™s me) ended up becoming a psychoanalysis of certain characters but the motif is essentially the same so enjoy!!
NICO DI ANGELO
my all time fav. love him so much.
thereā€™s somehing so gentle but real about the melody in this. the way it feels like early winter at dusk. the way it feels like gentle solo dancing in the kitchen to a melody stuck in your head. the way it feels like braiding a loved oneā€™s hair and talking.
WILL SOLACE
my beloved underrated child
now this one feels like a summer in the suburbs. like puzzles and cheap juice from the market. like the sun blazing on your skin and youā€™re laughinh and running. like playing that game on the road with chalk. it feels like nostalgia, like longing for an infantile giddiness that is long gone.
ANNABETH CHASE
the woman you are šŸ’—šŸ’—šŸ’—šŸ’„šŸ’„šŸ˜šŸ˜
there are probably better options, but this one can be interpreted as either calm and nostalgic or melancholy and painful. ā€œeverything reminds me of youā€ but do the memories hurt or heal?
HAZEL LEVESQUE
please show this woman some love. she really deserves it
i have no idea why. maybe itā€™s the way itā€™s so upbeat? not saying that hazel is a ā€œsunshine characterā€ as the fandom usually puts it, cause she isnā€™t, it just reminds me of how much she overcame and how much happier she is now than before. she got her happy ending despite literally every single odd. ugh i love her so much.
JASON GRACE
stupid little amnesiac. gotta love him.
again, i dont know why??? maybe itā€™s the instruments. itā€™s probabl6 the instruments. but jason is just such a beautiful and kindhearted soul and i think this song embodies that. this song reminds me of every time jason told leo he was important. every time he somehow made reyna laugh before everything happened. makes me think of how he was the first person to unconditionally support nico and the first to make him feel like heā€™s not the person heā€™s made out to be. makes me think of how he and leo were the first to actually see and recognize piper. how he made temples for every minor god(dess) he could think of because he understood what itā€™s like to be forgotten. im not sorry that this turned into a jason grace appreciation post btw.
KAYLA KNOWLES
pls talk about her more plsplsplsplspls
you know im right. you know im right. i dont think i even have to elaborate. this song was written for her. the beat? the instruments??all her
REYNA RAMIREZ-ARELLANO
she. šŸ˜
the feeling of letting somethingā€”maybe a person, an era, maybe your whole life in her case itā€™s allā€”pass you by because you took it for granted. a melancholy and quiet regret and longing something that is burned and can never be rebuilt, no matter how much you try. it wonā€™t feel the same.
ALEX FIERRO
el mapache humanizado
i have no idea why i said that in spanish but alex is latino so it stays
itā€™s so? alex?? pls tell me i make sense. becuase like some parts of the song are like just pure teenage dirtbag shenanigans and the prime of your life, but others feel like screaming underwater and pleading for help. ykwim?
anyways yes i never shut up and i love all these songs and i really should go to sleep now because itā€™s 12:15 but iā€™m gonna continue reading the odyssey because time is an illusion. see ya losers. love ya.

Justice to Percy Jackson in COTG
Hi peeps, I'm already way past this chapter but I need to ask a very inportant question, what would have happened to Jason Grace.
If Jason had survived long enough to go to college, what would he have had to do to get in, cause Percy almost had to get 25 recommendation letters, and I'm qouting here, so let me know what you guys think, cause this has been rotting my concience all day and now it can rot yours

I think any criticism you can apply to Jason being a boring main character could just as easily be applied to anyone else in the Seven because the entire Heroes of Olympus series lacks a strong definitive narrative voice in general

tlt is so funny because yeah these ten thousand year old people hate each other because they've committed mass genocide, created an empire with so many faults built in and they've fought god knows how many times over the eons they've known each other but also one of these bitches ate peanuts in a meeting once and somebody else has NEVER forgiven him for it

Au where the magicians take Percy in and they just think ā€œWow heā€™s really good at water magic, maybe heā€™s following the path of Sobek or Tefnut.ā€ And Poseidon is just secretly sending him messages in his dreams like ā€œOkay, donā€™t tell them but youā€™re Greek. But my brother shouldnā€™t bother you if he thinks youā€™re Egyptian.ā€ And sending him gifts (riptide).
(Aged down Percy, like two years younger then Carter, so heā€™s twelve when heā€™s taken in, after Apophis)
But even despite this he keeps somehow getting dragged into Greek adventures, and has to sneak away from the nome to do them.
This causes the older members much stress.
Horus/Isis: You come from Greek origins!
Percy (sweating): yeah? My moms Greek, doesnā€™t make me any less of a magician.
