An Invitation

What I want to say is

I like your face,

            I think about

your hands on me,

            but I don’t say this

aloud,

            and yet everything

about me is an invitation,

            an open door,

a conjuring of clothes

            on a bedroom floor,

and I’m not sure who

            will make the first move,

only that one of us will,

and it feels like a song

            I once knew

but forgot, you feel like a song

            I once knew,

come closer,

            let me sing it back to you.

As you might expect from a couple of queer indie authors, Fell & I are going hard on the sales and promotions for Pride Month! I'll try to summarize as succinctly as possible, and remember that you can always click the links for a full synopsis ;)

Are you in the mood for...

✨ An emotional, reflective gay fantasy romance following a werewolf cowboy whose family takes in an amnesiac vampire? Fell's debut novel, Both Sides of the Moon, is on sale! You can buy a paperback for $11.99 & the ebook is on Countdown Sale June 3-7, starting at $0.99!

✨ A short and sweet sapphic contemporary fantasy read? My novella Worm in a Jar is pay what you want on Gumroad all month, so you can download it free if you'd like!

✨ A not-romantic fantasy novel with queer trans protagonists, about a demon and a demon hunter who must team up to prevent an imprending wave of violence? Our upcoming collab, Hierarchy of the Unseen, comes out June 21! It's up for preorder now, and available as an ARC on Netgalley :)

✨ The above, and also deals and/or supporting queer trans authors? This month, we're running a special offer on Patreon: all new & current patrons starting at the $4 tier will receive a free paperback of HotU (in addition to the ebook downloads, early access to our work, behind-the-scenes exclusives, and more already offered to patrons)!

✨ Finding more queer indies to support? Check out Pride SFF Reads & Read LGBTQ Authors on Bookfunnel!

I'll post about these individually in the coming weeks, but just wanted to throw it all out there at once 🖤 Reblogs appreciated! Thank you all for your support!

If you’re ever stuck when writing a story, break your main characters legs and then have a milf show up. She doesn’t have to help

I’D DO ANYTHING TO BE THERE FOR YOU IN A MILLISECOND

So I wanted to just like see what the fuck would happen if I just typed random words and picked the most oddly specific suggested tags so here it is

[thingsicantsaytoyou]

There are so many words

In every human language

And yet none of them

Can describe you

Perfectly

[thingsicantsaytoyou]

People be like “it’s a plot hole that a hot alt girl would date a loser like Scott Pilgrim” as though the entire plot doesn’t revolve around Ramona having shit awful taste in romantic partners

Words Like Knives

You make me hate all my favorite songs

Take the lyrics, turn them into weapons

And point it at me, calling me the problem

You cock the gun

Goddamnit, just shoot

I feel rough, covered in soot

Just remember this next time you ask why

We aren’t as close as we once were

Weaponized words

Villainize me “haven’t you heard?

You’re losing the game”

But you’re crafting all the rules

As you go

People Pleaser

You know I’m scared to hurt people

So you twist that til it suits you

And when it starts to hurt me you say

“That’s not my issue”

Flirting

I’m getting bolder

Can’t tell if we’re joking anymore

It’s getting colder

Is this flirting, at its core?

Are we both just too goddamn awkward

To admit that this could be more

Than goofing around?

Because it’s beginning to happen more often

And I’d like to keep it around

Lil drawings of ghosts based on some synonyms for ‘ghost’ & what vibes I get from each one.

You talk about her so logically

Methodically picking at your nails

Of course you like her!

It’s so obvious, so sure

I wish I’d seen it before.
