Deal Announcement: WHEN THE TIDES HELD THE MOON (Erewhon, Spring 2025)

If you've been with me on Tumblr for a while, then you may already be familiar with this title and been waiting for this particular update, and all I can say is thank you endlessly for patiently sticking it out with me! I am so incredibly pleased to announce that WHEN THE TIDES HELD THE MOON has been acquired by Diana Pho at Erewhon Books/Kensington Publishing as an illustrated adult historical fantasy!

Tor.com has published a blush-inducing article which features some insights from me about what inspired the story, reactions from Hugo Award-winning editor Diana Pho on what drew her to the book, a downright tear-jerking endorsement from the incomparable TJ Klune, and my original concept art of Benny & Río. I hope you'll take a moment to read it at the link below!

This project is the culmination of a lifelong dream to write and illustrate my own books, and there are no words to convey the depth of my gratitude to Diana for the gift of seeing it be delivered as an illustrated adult work. Infinite thanks must also go to my unstoppable agent Saritza Hernandez, my phenomenal critique partners Anna Racine and Mark Duplane, and the many experts who generously and enthusiastically donated their time and resources in the middle of lockdown to help me bring 1911 Brooklyn, NY to life, including:

Virginia Sanchez-Korrol –– Professor Emeritus of Puerto Rican & Latino Studies, CUNY Brooklyn College

David Sharp -- President, The Waterfront Museum

Jamie Salen, David Favaloro, & Lana Rubin –– Marketing Director, Director of Curatorial Affairs, & Collections Manager (respectively), The Tenement Museum

Adam Realman -- Artistic Director, The Coney Island Circus Sideshow

More details about WTTHTM's release will be forthcoming, but in the meantime, thank you all again for believing in this story and supporting it when it was just a humble MerMay fic. I can't wait until you meet Benny and his beloved Río in print in 2025!

Moon bullets straight to your heart. (Moon Knight x COD au / GHOSTSOAP)

Continuation of a head canon I wrote a week ago, the brainrot is unstoppable, I'm afraid.

TW: gaslighting, angst, mention of poor mental health, use of simon and ghost.

Simon had a hard time balancing his new lives. Being a lieutenant in the Task Force 141 and becoming an Egyptian's god avatar were surprisingly not compatible. When Khonshu wanted something from him, big or small, he had to immediately end whatever he was doing and it started to put his colleagues' lives in jeopardy. Especially Soap.

Ghost was starting to see through the diety, Khonshu had let it slip that's first choice was Johnny, which made the masked soldier's blood boil with anger and protectiveness. Was it all a tactic to make him behave ? Surely Khonshu could see through him, hell even read his mind and see his feelings towards his sergeant. To use such a vulnerability was really in character for such a childish vengeance-fulled god.

So he cornered the bird one day. Well, he happened to be alone in the rec room at an ungodly hour of the night so he started yelling insults to provoke his persecutor.

"Listen you old geezer, You seem to think that you can control me by threatening to hurt Johnny. There's one thing you don't know mate, I've been controlling you for my own benefits for a while."

A gust of wind made Khonshu's presence known to the lieutenant and Ghost turned on his heels to face the subject of his anger.

" You think you control a god, bug."

" You think you have it all under control Khonshu, that you have me tucked under your rotten wing."

The cupboard started to shake along with the vibrations caused by the deep laughter Khonshu allowed his hollow throat to give.

" I advise you to how more respect to a god, Simon Riley."

It was Ghost's turn to laugh, a laugh that could rival the god's. A laugh filled with sarcasm and disgust, one that expressed his current feeling with the precision he had when he handled a sniper rifle.

"What will you do if I misbehave ? Take back your powers ? Fine, go ahead. I'll be the same damn killing machine without your constant nagging in my fucking ears you bastard."

A staring contest ensued, no one daring to speak. Only frowning faces and eyes meeting hollow cavities.

"I have no feelings, romantic or whatever the hell you may think towards John MacTavish. He's just a subordinate, an annoyin' and clingy one. You need to find better leverage if you ever want me to listen like a good robot. I am not your past puppets. "

A gasp, then the sound of a cup exploding on the tiles near the entrance made Simon's head wipe toward the now opened door of the rec room. Soap, Johnny was standing mouth open in shock, his hands still in the shape of the cup he was holding mere seconds ago.

"Johnny-"

"Simon what the fuck is happening here, who the fucking hell are you to?"

Ghost marched quickly towards Soap but the sergeant made two steps back for every one Ghost made.

"Soap, please, I can explain."

"Explain what ? That you fucking fooled me into thinking we were close ? That you missed your psych eval again ? When did you start talking to things that aren't even real Si' ?"

Right, he can't see Khonshu. He just heard him said a bunch of bullshit about how he didn't care about him and how he was annoying. Fucking hell.

"Do not talk- I don't want to hear any of whatever you might say to convince me you're not going bonkers. I'm telling Prince in the morning. You're fucked up mate."

With that, Soap left hurriedly. Simon sighed, hands on his chest. An anxiety attack, fucking perfect.

He would get discharged and Khonshu could have him as his slave. Speaking of, the god was above Simon's now kneeling figure, smiling.

He was getting what he wanted. A broken shell of a man, a perfect little ghost.

I Don’t See Anyone Talking About This Scene So I Did It Myself [Wattpad | AO3]

“Ugh, I knew it! After all this time, is it so hard for you to accept that I might be something more than a pretty face?”

“No! What’s hard to accept is that you get to have it all! If you’re prettier, and more stylish, and smarter, and a better astronaut—what’s left for me? If you’re a better ‘me’ than I am, then who am I?”

(Can be romantic or platonic <3)

What if Simon 'Ghost' Riley became Khonshu's avatar ?

I'm a big marvel and Moon Knight fan and I can't help but make parallels between Mark and Simon. To get the brainrot out, there's a little something I wrote on the fly.

Hope you enjoy.

TW : mention of medication, trauma, nightmare and torture description.

Saying that Las Almas and Chicago fucked Ghost up was a euphemism. A man could get so much trahison and PTSD before he went bonkers with no way back to sanity.

The god of vengeance had been observing the 141 for a while now, his eyes set on Soap at first. John MacTavish was the embodiment of chaos, but his morals made him a bad suitor for vengeance and after Mark Spector the god didn't want someone ,too good, that could turn his back on him. But Ghost, oh Simon, he was fucked up beyond repair.

Khonshu chose him after a week of nightly careful peaks into his head, one the nights that Ghost allowed himself to sleep. Khonshu had witnessed Simon slit Roba's throat and stomach, cutting his limbs one by one even putting him in the coffin that traumatized him before setting it on fire. His dad got the worst treatment, even the god wanted to gag at what Simon wanted to do to his childhood abuser.

He introduced himself to the lieutenant on a full moon, making himself known during an overwatch mission to find Makarov's financier. Ghost didn't take his medication that day, and he was sure that the giant bird skull warped in bandages was just an hallucination. Then, it spoke to him, the deep growl of the god reverberating in his lungs and he realized it was real. He wasn't one to get easily startled, but fucking hell.

"Simon Riley, we finally meet."

"Who's sending you?"

"I act on my own behalf, mortal."

Ghost shivered at the last word, it was obvious the thing in front of him was not human, he had heard about enhanced humans but it wasn't it. There were something godly, about the creature.

"My name is Konshu, I am in need of a new avatar."

"Mate, I don't have time for you sick jokes."

"Listen carefully, Simon Riley, I do not have time for jokes either. I need someone to do my bidding as I cannot interfere with human affairs anymore."

"I'm not a little pet you order around."

"I am not asking for a pet, I'm searching for my next Moon Knight."

Ghost scoffed at the silly name and Khoshu's empty eye sockets narrowed.

"What does that have to do with me ?"

"Don't you love vengeance Simon ?"

The masked soldier quietly nodded, that's everything he had ever wanted.

"I live for vengeance."

Khonshu stood up even closer and bigger, offering a hand to Ghost that absent-mindedly took it.

"Then rise, and become my Moon Knight."

Dark cloth wrapped around Ghost's body, filling him with a new sense of strenght.

Vengeance it is.
